40: What I Wish I Knew About Attachment Style Before I Became A Parent (& Happy Mother's Day!)
Episode notes
You aren't broken. You've been wired—long before you had a choice in the matter. And now? You’re likely parenting from that same wiring, wondering why it feels so damn hard to stay steady.
This episode is about naming what actually drives our reactions as parents—and why it’s not a lack of love, but unhealed attachment wounds. If you’ve ever wondered why you spiral, shut down, smother, or second-guess yourself constantly, this one’s going to hit home.
It’s not just you. It’s your wiring. And the best news? Patterns are programmable.
This is your crash course on attachment, parenting, and what it means to rewire in real time—and it sets the stage for an incredible conversation coming Thursday with therapist and attachment specialist Bev Mitelman. Don’t miss it.
