What does it take to build a deeper relationship without expecting your partner to complete you?In this episode of Alignment Academy, Kristen sits down with relationship guide Luke Monteleone to explore divine union, attachment styles, and the inner work of conscious relationships. Luke shares his journey from building multimillion-dollar businesses to rethinking masculinity, becoming a father, and guiding others in partnership.Together, they unpack why familiar patterns can follow us into new relationships, what your single season can teach you about self-security, and why they see a connection with God and yourself as central to divine union. Kristen also opens up about conflict in her own relationship and how choosing vulnerability over being right can create space for reconnection.From shadow work to letting go of the perfect relationship fantasy, this conversation explores the honesty, humility, and personal responsibility that deeper love asks of us. Whether you're single or growing alongside a partner, it's an invitation to look inward and bring more openness to the way you love.
It can be tricky to see what attachment style someone aligns with most. In this episode, we talk about some early signs that may point to certain ways of attaching.

In this podcast, John and Allen respond to as many as possible—including where this topic is addressed in Scripture, whether we can have a soul tie with our spouse, what unhealthy attachment looks like, how to break a soul tie on behalf of another, and if it's possible to have a soul tie with an activity, celebrity, fictional character, or even a person who has died.Show Notes: The earlier Soul Ties podcast is Episode 886: Soul Ties—What They Are & How to Break Them (July 26, 2026).

Ask Us A QuestionYou know the words by now: anxious and avoidant.Maybe you've taken the quizzes, watched the videos, and gotten pretty good at spotting the pattern in your own relationship.And you're still having the same fight.So what are you actually supposed to do with any of this?In this episode, we're talking about how attachment styles can help us understand a relationship without turning into permanent labels for ourselves or our partners. We'll look at why anxious and avoidant people are often drawn to each other in the first place, what actually happens when one person starts reaching and the other starts pulling away, and why knowing your “style” is only the beginning.Tom and I are also sharing a story about a season in our own marriage when he pulled away, I chased, and space became a very real conversation between us.We're answering your questions about breadcrumbing, meeting an avoidant partner in the middle, and why it can feel like all the responsibility gets handed to the anxious person.And near the end, I'll give you four sentences you can use when someone you love has gone quiet on you.The words are simple.What you do after you say them is the harder part.A Quick NoteWe're almost at the end of this run of your most-requested and most-downloaded episodes, brought back with new opens and closes.

In this episode of Relationship Advice, Colter talks with Dr. Diane Heller about anxious, avoidant, ambivalent, and disorganized attachment patterns. They explore why these patterns are often intelligent survival strategies—not character flaws or relationship “red flags”—and how early relational wounds can shape the way people experience closeness, conflict, and love. Dr. Heller explains that everyone has an innate capacity for secure attachment and that understanding these patterns can help partners respond with more compassion instead of blame.

Can a relationship shift from anxious attachment to avoidant attachment—and what does that really mean? K+L unpack the hidden power dynamics behind attachment styles, revealing how the desire for control can quietly replace the desire for connection. Drawing from the evolution of their own friendship, they reflect on how safety is built through consistency + showing up over and over again. Sometimes healing doesn't come from finding the perfect relationship—it comes from staying long enough to create a secure one.

You've spent years blaming your mom for your anxious attachment, but what if she's only part of the story?I am kicking off a brand new series today and I cannot wait to get into it with you. We're calling it "Attachment Theory Got an Upgrade," because after years of watching this concept get flattened on social media, I wanted to bring you the real, nuanced, research-backed picture, starting with the biggest myth of all: that your attachment style comes entirely from your parents. It doesn't. A massive 30-year longitudinal study followed 705 people from infancy into their thirties, and the findings are about to change how you think about every relationship struggle you've ever had.Inside the episode:Why your relationship with your mother explains some of your attachment style, but far from all of it, and what actually fills in the rest of the pictureThe surprising role your childhood friendships played in shaping how you love today, especially if your parent relationships were genuinely healthy and you're still wondering why romance feels so hardMy own story of what moving constantly as a kid taught me about self-reliance, staying guarded, and becoming a chameleon, and how that followed me into adulthoodReady to move from awareness to actual change?

You may think you're fighting about the mental load, but the real argument could be happening underneath it.In this episode, I'm breaking down how your attachment style can shape the way you experience, manage, and fight about the mental load in your marriage. Because when one spouse sees help as a sign of love while the other sees the exact same situation as pressure, criticism, or a threat to their independence, better communication alone may not solve the problem.We'll look at anxious, dismissive avoidant, fearful avoidant, and secure attachment to understand why the same mental load can feel completely different to each person. You'll also learn why the calendars, lists, and systems you've tried may keep failing and what needs to happen underneath the logistics before you can actually create lasting change.Tune in to discover:• How your attachment style shapes the way you carry the mental load• Why your spouse may experience the exact same responsibilities completely differently• The hidden fears fueling resentment, defensiveness, and withdrawal• Why better communication and better systems aren't always enough• What secure attachment can teach you about handling the mental load togetherLeave a review for a chance to win The Us System!

What happens when the honeymoon phase ends and the real work begins? In this special collaborative episode of The Breaking Free Podcast, I sit down with Shannon Harrison, host of The Womanhood Podcast, for a deeply personal conversation about love, relationships, self-development and what it actually takes to build a lasting partnership. Shannon and I open up about their own relationship journeys from early dating experiences and synchronicities to long-term partnership, commitment, living together and navigating the uncomfortable moments that force us to grow. I share my journey into my relationship with Britt, including how personal development, unexpected guidance and synchronicities played a role in bringing them together. Shannon shares her own story with Elliot, including the importance of friendship, personal growth and consciously choosing commitment. Together, we explore the realities of conscious relationships including emotional triggers, inner-child patterns, vulnerability, communication, patience and learning to understand your partner's emotional language. We also dive into how differences in emotional needs and the menstrual cycle can impact relationships, and why understanding rather than reacting can completely change the dynamic between two people. This conversation is about what happens when two people are willing to look at themselves, communicate honestly and grow together. Thank you for listening and watching wherever in the world you are!

We're so excited to welcome Dr. Marisa Franco back to the podcast for the third time to talk about something so many of us struggle with: feeling worthy. We're diving into why simply telling ourselves to “love ourselves” doesn't always work, how our past experiences continue to shape the way we see ourselves today, and what it can look like to meet ourselves with more understanding instead of trying to force ourselves to feel differently. We also talk about how our own self-worth impacts the way we show up for our kids and how we can help the next generation build a healthier relationship with themselves.Key Topics CoveredWhy insecurity can actually be an adaptive responseHow attachment theory can become another form of perfectionismWhy some people struggle to receive complimentsThe connection between self-worth, memories, and our emotional responsesHow to recognize, regulate, and respond to difficult emotionsCONNECT WITH DR.

In this episode, I'm joined by attachment coaches Marta and Duncan for an open conversation about breakups, attachment, and why knowing you should move on doesn't necessarily make it easier to do.We talk about what keeps us emotionally attached, why some breakups are harder to recover from than others, and what may actually be happening underneath the urge to hold on, reach out, or hope they'll come back.This isn't an interview. It's three attachment coaches having an honest conversation about the psychology of letting go and what it takes to finally begin moving forward.I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

Some conversations are just too good to stay buried in the archives.This week I'm bringing back one of my absolute favorite episodes with Jessica Fern, author of Polysecure, and David Cooley, co-author of Polywise. Even three years later, this conversation feels just as relevant, thoughtful, and practical as it did the first time we recorded it.If you've ever struggled with jealousy, conflict, emotional triggers, or wondered how to build relationships that actually grow stronger through hard conversations, you're going to want to listen to this one.What I love most about this conversation is that Jessica and David don't just teach relationship theory. They share the messy, beautiful reality of living it. They talk openly about opening their relationship, divorce, becoming life partners again, raising a child together, repairing after conflict, and the emotional work it took to get there.We explore what emotional intelligence actually looks like in everyday relationships, why slowing down often creates more freedom than rushing ahead, and how conflict can become one of the greatest pathways to intimacy instead of something to avoid.One of my favorite moments comes near the end of the episode, when Jessica and David turn the tables and interview me about my own journey through jealousy. Looking back now, it's fascinating to hear that conversation knowing how much my work has continued to evolve around helping people move through jealousy with compassion instead of shame.If you're newer to non-monogamy, this episode will give you practical tools for navigating the inevitable challenges that come with growth.If you've been practicing for years, I think you'll still find yourself nodding along and maybe hearing something in a completely new way.In this episode, we talk about:Why relationships don't have to fit an all-or-nothing modelWhat emotional intelligence actually looks like in healthy relationshipsHow to recognize when repair is needed before resentment buildsThe role conflict plays in creating deeper intimacyWorking with nervous system regulation during difficult conversationsWhy curiosity is one of the greatest relationship skills you can developThe power of slowing down while opening a relationshipHealing attachment wounds and building lasting securityWhether polyamory is an identity, an orientation, or a relationship choiceMy personal journey from overwhelming jealousy to emotional freedomWhether you're just opening your relationship or you've been practicing non-monogamy for years, this conversation is full of the kind of wisdom that only comes from people who've done the work themselves.I'd love to hear what stands out to you after listening. Come find me on Instagram and let me know what resonated most.If this episode supports you, please share it with someone who could use a little more compassion, clarity, and hope on their own relationship journey.Thanks for being here, and enjoy this Rewind episode.Send us Fan MailSupport the show
Why do the same arguments keep happening? Why do certain people trigger us so deeply? And what if the biggest obstacle in our relationships isn't the other person... but the unconscious patterns we've carried for years? In this episode of The Breaking Free Podcast, I sit down with Matt Castle, neurotransformational therapy practitioner and NLP life coach, for a powerful conversation on relationships, emotional healing, and personal transformation. Matt explains how emotional triggers are often unresolved patterns rather than problems created by other people. Together, we explore how changing the meaning we assign to our emotions can completely transform the way we experience conflict, connection, and love. The conversation also dives into fear, judgement, nervous system regulation, personal values, and the importance of becoming someone who responds rather than reacts. Matt also shares his own personal journey, including navigating ongoing court proceedings, parenting challenges, and how those experiences shaped his mission to support men going through separation and major life transitions. Whether you're single, dating, married, separated, or simply wanting healthier relationships, this episode offers practical insights to help you understand yourself and others on a much deeper level. In this episode: Why emotional triggers aren't your enemy The hidden patterns sabotaging relationships Responding instead of reacting How NLP can reshape emotional responses Fear, judgement and unconscious programming Aligning your values for stronger relationships Men's mental health after separation Parenting, resilience and personal growth Building emotional intelligence Creating healthier, more conscious relationships If you've ever wondered why the same relationship challenges keep showing up, this conversation may help you see them through a completely different lens.

Parenting Anxious Teens | Parenting Teens, Managing Teen Anxiety, Parenting Strategies
Hi Parents! Today's episode is such an important conversation because we're exploring something that often gets misunderstood in conversations around teens, anxiety, and food. I'm joined by Stephanie Mara, a Somatic Nutritional Counsellor, somatic psychotherapist, and the creator of Somatic Eating®, a therapeutic approach that combines nervous system science, trauma work, attachment, and nutrition. Stephanie's work helps people understand that food behaviours are often not about willpower, discipline, or “bad habits,” but are actually the body's attempt to create safety, regulation, and comfort. We talk about the connection between attachment styles and eating behaviours and how a teen's relationship with food is often deeply connected to emotional safety, stress, anxiety, and nervous system regulation. Stephanie explains how food can sometimes become a substitute for connection when emotional needs feel uncertain or unmet, and why healing a relationship with food often requires looking beyond the surface behaviour itself. We also discuss how anxiety and nervous system dysregulation can show up through emotional eating, food restriction, body image struggles, or fixation around eating patterns. Stephanie shares how parents can begin approaching these behaviours with more curiosity and compassion instead of fear or control. This episode is a powerful reminder that food behaviours are rarely just about food, and that understanding the nervous system and emotional attachment can completely shift the way we support our teens. NEW: My 6-week parent program, The Parent's Anxiety Toolkit™, is now open! If you're raising an anxious teen and feeling overwhelmed, unsure what to say, or exhausted by the constant worry, this program will help you feel more calm, confident, and equipped with practical tools that actually work.

It is frustrating when a partner can't give you what you need especially after they promised or implied they could. We try to change them - or their mind. We hope they can change and become the person we thought they were when we first met. We struggle with the fear of the relationship ending, lashing out with hurtful words, doing things that causes more damage - and then regretting them all when we are calm. This episodes walks you through what you can do before the damage is done. Breathing tips as promised in this episode -Practice 5 minutes a day and build from thereFocus on your breathing and learn its natural rhythm before you do anything. Intentionally breathe deeply - in and out. Ask your doctor about box breathing exercises and if it's right for you. This is great for calming the nervous system and helping us respond with clear intentions instead of reacting.Please leave a review...I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

In this episode, Dr. K and Kruti sit down with Lucas and Ory, a couple navigating an anxious-avoidant relationship while backpacking in Peru. Breaking down a recent conflict where they were both severely sick in a hotel room with mismatched needs, Dr. K provides a masterclass on how to navigate deadlocks, stop over-pathologizing yourself, and understand the hidden templates driving your partner's reactions. What to expect in this episode: The Anxious-Avoidant Dynamic: Why this pairing is notoriously known as a "match made in hell," but is actually the perfect karmic friction required for profound spiritual and personal growth. Conflicting Templates: How a simple action—like wanting to watch a video alone—maps to completely different emotional meanings (a healthy need for independence vs. a painful signal of abandonment) depending on your attachment style. The Danger of Over-Indexing: Why we shouldn't treat every single argument as a deep psychological issue to solve, and why sometimes you just have to "take the L" when both partners are physically sick, exhausted, and naturally regressing to old habits. Quantifying Your Needs: Practical communication tools for deadlocked couples, including rating your immediate needs on a scale of 1-10, and actively assessing how empty your partner's "tank" is before asking for support. Labeling the Flare-Up: How naming your attachment trigger out loud (e.g., explicitly stating, "My anxious attachment is flaring today") can remove confusion and help your partner understand exactly what you need. Over-Pathologizing Normal Needs: A deep dive into Lucas's specific guilt, exploring how recovering avoidants often demonize their perfectly normal need for space because they are terrified of failing their partner. The Illusion of Responsibility: Why true security requires learning to let your partner fall apart without internalizing their emotional pain as your personal failure, allowing you to pick them back up without drowning alongside them.

Attachment styles aren't your identity. Dr. Ann Kelley explains secure relating, modern attachment theory, trauma healing, nervous system regulation, relationship repair, shame reduction, and why emotional security is something we actively practice—not something we permanently achieve. How can we, as therapists, help people better understand themselves, improve their relationships, and reduce the shame that accompanies emotional struggles that are often rooted in relational trauma? It's a basic question at the root of our work and host Emily Ruth invites psychologist, author, and fellow podcaster Ann Kelley, Ph.D., to address it by demystifying the principles of modern attachment theory. Ann draws on her clinical work, research, and experience as co-creator of the podcast Therapist Uncensored to present a compassionate, up-to-date view of attachment that replaces rigid labels with practical strategies for meaningful relational growth. The conversation also delves into the importance of remaining curious and willing to challenge the limits of our own educational or experiential bias as information evolves. This skill is on full display in Secure Relating: Holding Your Own in an Insecure World, the book Ann co-authored with her "neuronerd" colleague and co-host Sue Marriott, LCSW, CGP. Transforming Trauma thanks Ann for sharing her hopeful yet practical approach to psychological growth. She shares meaningfully on what it means to explore our attachment patterns without judgment or predetermined outcomes.

Maybe you've even wondered whether your attachment style played a role in your abusive relationship.But what if attachment theory isn't about blaming yourself?In this episode, I unpack attachment styles through a trauma-informed lens and explore how understanding your attachment patterns can support healing, self-awareness, and future relationships after abuse.We discuss:What attachment theory actually is (and what it isn't)The four primary attachment stylesChildhood experiences that can contribute to different attachment patternsWhy attachment styles are adaptations, not character flawsHow attachment styles can influence dating and relationshipsThe role attachment may play in how we experience attention, connection, and love bombingWhy survivors should be cautious about using attachment theory as a form of self-blameHow coercive control and abusive relationships can create attachment injuries of their ownWhy understanding yourself is often more important than trying to become an expert at spotting abusersOne of the most important takeaways from this conversation is that attachment styles do not explain why someone was abused.Abuse happens because someone chose to abuse.Understanding your attachment style can be incredibly helpful for healing, building self-awareness, and creating healthier relationships moving forward. But it should never be used as evidence that you caused, invited, or deserved the abuse you experienced.If you've ever wondered how attachment theory fits into your healing journey, this episode is for you.Register for the Free Webinar Series - Why Co-Parenting Feels Like a Trap here - https://mailchi.mp/risingbeyondpc/coparentingPlease leave us a review or rating and follow/subscribe to the show.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1946DM She's worked with couples who were clearly meant for each other and still spent three years in absolute chaos. Not because they were wrong for each other. Because their attachment wounds were running the show. Sheleana Aiyana breaks down what's actually happening when you blow up over something small. It's not your partner. It's body memory. An old betrayal. An old story about not being safe or loved. Your nervous system fires a threat response, and you're reacting to then, not now. And here's what she's clear about: you can't think your way out of it. Meditation won't fix it. The real work is somatic. Getting your body to physically feel safe again, so you can be present with your partner without your past flooding the room. She also names what it looks like when two fiery people love each other and fight hard. Neither is broken. But agreements matter. How you fight will determine whether there's anything left to repair.

Oops! We made a mistake, and released the wrong episode. Please delete, and redownload to hear the new one! Thank you!In this episode of This Changes Everything, we continue our deep dive into what it actually means to fight fair in relationships, moving beyond surface level conflict and into the emotional patterns that drive it. Building on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we explore how couples get caught in predictable cycles that make it feel like every argument is about “the dishes,” when underneath it is usually something much deeper like disconnection, fear, or the need for reassurance and safety.We break down how attachment styles show up in real time conflict, why people either pursue or withdraw when they feel triggered, and how nervous system flooding can make even simple conversations feel impossible. Most importantly, we focus on what to do next, how to recognize the cycle earlier, how to interrupt escalation before it takes over, and how to stay emotionally connected even when you are activated.This episode is less about perfect communication and more about practical repair, learning to notice your patterns in the moment, name what is happening underneath the fight, and return to connection faster after rupture. Because the goal is not never fighting, it is getting better at finding your way back to each other.

In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, Doc Jen and Doctor Dom, both doctors of physical therapy, welcome back Shannon Algeo, psychotherapist and author of The Power in Your Hands. Shannon explores how smartphone and social media use mirrors insecure attachment patterns, introducing the concept of technology attachment to explain how people unconsciously turn to technology to manage anxiety, avoid emotions, and seek connection. The conversation covers how virtual interactions lack the embodied cues essential for genuine human bonding, the dangers of solitude deprivation, and the societal nature of technology attachment and the pain of digital addiction. Shannon encourages listeners to exercise compassion, small behavioral experiments, and collective action to help reclaim presence, creativity, and authentic human connection.

Your health, relationships, and self-esteem all hinge on your attachment style. Here's how to know if you're anxious or avoidant — and how to get more secure. Dr. Amir Levine is a Columbia-trained psychiatrist and neuroscientist and coauthor of the multi-million-copy bestseller Attached, which brought attachment theory into mainstream conversation and remains the #1 book on Amazon in Relationships more than a decade later. His new book Secure expands this work into emotional regulation and everyday well-being. In this episode we talk about: What attachment theory is The four attachment styles — anxious, avoidant, secure, and fearful avoidant — and how to identify which one you are Why your attachment style is not fixed and how it can change What happens in your brain when you're ignored or excluded How being securely connected can extend your life The five pillars of a secure life How to right-size a relationship with someone unreliable Small, seemingly insignificant daily interactions as vehicles for change Two rules of secure engagement that can defuse almost any argument Why anxious and avoidant attachment styles each have genuine superpowers How to build your "attachment topography" Get the 10% with Dan Harris app here Sign up for Dan's free newsletter here Follow Dan on social: Instagram, TikTok Subscribe to our YouTube Channel Join Dan, Sebene Selassie, and Jeff Warren for Meditation Party, a 3-day immersive retreat at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY, October 16–18.

Why do breakups hurt so much? Because neurologically, heartbreak looks almost identical to drug withdrawal. In a landmark 2010 fMRI study, Helen Fisher and her colleagues showed that the brains of the recently rejected lit up in the same reward and craving circuits — the VTA and nucleus accumbens — that drive cocaine addiction. In this episode of The Dr. Leaf Show, Dr. Caroline Leaf unpacks the neuroscience of heartbreak and why it can take at least 63 days to rewire, plus two more segments: why horror movies might actually be good for your brain (and when they're not), and a Pick My Brain Q&A tackling self-love, the attachment styles myth, unconditional love, and how to reignite the spark in a long marriage.
Your subconscious mind is running 95% of your decisions. Your conscious mind, the part that's setting goals, making resolutions, and telling itself to do better, is only working with the remaining 5%. That gap is why knowing what you should do is never enough. Thais Gibson has spent over a decade building a framework that actually closes that gap. She is a counselor, founder of the Gibson Integrated Attachment Theory™, and has worked with over 60,000 people through The Personal Development School. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, she breaks down why self-sabotage is not what we all think it is, how your attachment style is quietly running your relationships, and the exact process to rewire patterns you have been carrying since childhood. This is one of those conversations that will make you look at your own behavior completely differently. What's Discussed: (00:05) The real reason your conscious goals keep losing to your subconscious programming. (15:30) What your attachment style is actually telling you about your childhood. (29:00) The attachment combination most likely to end in a vicious cycle. (45:00) Why dating a secure person does not fix an insecure attachment. (58:00) That one belief that's quietly destroying your ability to connect. (1:05:00) What limerence is and why people mistake it for love. (1:15:00) The five pillars to rewire your attachment style at a subconscious level. (1:20:00) Why affirmations do not work and what to do instead. Thank You to Our Sponsors!
