Back with another episode on relationships, and this time, I'm joined by the amazing Dr. Alexia Holovatyk! We dive deep into the mystery of why we're often drawn to those who seem emotionally unavailable. Using the lens of attachment theory, we unpack why these patterns persist and, more importantly, how we can break free to find healthier connections. We chat about the power of self-awareness, making mindful choices, and understanding how our past shapes our present. Plus, we get real about the importance of checking in with ourselves during those nerve-wracking dates. Tune in for some serious relationship wisdom!
