Ever notice how the same patterns keep showing up in your relationships even when you wish to do things differently from your parents? This podcast episodes discusses

• How attachment styles are formed and passed down through generations

• The mind-body connection and nervous system for why regulation matters

• Navigating rupture & repair and moving toward earned secure attachment

• The grief of realising what you didn’t receive as a child and why that sadness is valid

• Re‑parenting your younger parts 

• "Good enough" parenting

• Why healing isn’t linear … it’s a spiral that brings you deeper (and wiser) each time
