    Ep. 48: The 5 Winning Relationship Strategies with Rose Viggiano

    This episode is really special to me because I’m introducing you to someone who I’ve watched grow for the past 10 years, not just as a coach, but as a partner, a mother, and a woman. Rose Viggiano is a relationship expert and attachment specialist who has helped individuals and couples move from conflict and disconnection to closeness and trust. She teaches the real world tools that help make love last, including how to communicate honestly, repair quickly, and feel safe being fully yourself in your relationships.  As the creator of her method, Awakening Relationships, Rose has guided hundreds of individuals and couples through her signature secure relationship journey, which is a simple powerful framework for healing old patterns and creating more secure, connected relationships.  What makes Rose’s work especially refreshing is that she doesn’t approach it as someone who’s been happily married for 30 years. She’s the practitioner who, as she puts it, has been to the gates of Hell and clawed her way back, and now teaches others what she’s learned along the way. Rose is deeply skilled, incredibly trained, and has helped me both personally and professionally in my own life, and I’m so delighted to share her wisdom with you.  Resources Website: www.roseviggiano.com Email: rose@roseviggiano.com Instagram: @awakeningrelationships Free download on Winning and Losing Strategies in Relationships: https://roseviggiano.kit.com/854c0a8d59

    Ep. 47: Emotional Allergies–The Nervous System’s Warning Bell

    If you were stuck in a room with an alarm going off, your brain would eventually tune it out in order to survive. This is what I imagine happens when we grow up in a home environment that doesn’t meet our needs; our nervous system acts as the alarm telling us we’re out of alignment, but because we don’t have the option to leave, we stop listening to the alarm instead.  In this work, I call those alarms emotional allergies. Our nervous system, the threat detector that it is, will alert us to a familiar threat or something that isn't safe. If you grew up feeling judged often, you may now have an allergy to judgment. If you grew up with inconsistency, you may now be highly sensitive to unavailability and inconsistency. If you grew up emotionally engulfed, you may be allergic to relational overwhelm.  Every time you override an alarm that’s trying to protect you, you chip away at self trust, which is the foundation of a secure attachment. Our job as we start to pay attention to our emotional allergy alarms isn’t to silence them or intellectualize them. Our job is to tune into them and to get curious with ways that we can protect ourselves and get ourselves back to a baseline of safety.  Resources Website: robinbreckenridge.com Instagram: @coachwithrobin TikTok: @robinbreckenridge YouTube: @growwithrobinbreckenridge

    Ep. 46: Secure Attachment–When Love is Aligned

    Over the last few weeks, we’ve talked about anxious attachment, avoidant attachment, and ambivalent attachment–the fight, the flight, the freeze. Now, we're going to talk about what happens when your nervous system is regulated enough to pause and choose differently, known as secure attachment.  A secure attachment connects your head and your heart. It doesn't need to rely on maladaptive protectors; it knows when to put the sword down and when to lower the shield. This episode, I’m covering some misconceptions about what a secure attachment is and where it comes from, why developing a secure attachment requires a foundation of trust, and how to build the muscle of secure attachment through awareness and repetition.  A secure attachment style isn’t inaccessible to you and it isn’t something you either have or you don’t, it’s just something you haven’t learned to integrate into your life or practiced enough. It’s a choice you make over and over again, and through those choices you can begin to create closeness with others while retaining your autonomy.  Resources Website: robinbreckenridge.com Instagram: @coachwithrobin TikTok: @robinbreckenridge YouTube: @growwithrobinbreckenridge

    Ep. 45: Ambivalent Attachment–When Love is Confusing

    Anxious attachment carries the sword, looking for a fight. Avoidant attachment carries the shield, looking to protect. With ambivalent attachment, you carry both. You'll both fight for closeness and then protect yourself from it. You'll reach and then retreat. You'll crave intimacy and then also feel trapped by it.  Ambivalent attachment is the ‘freeze’ response. Your nervous system is overwhelmed by two opposing impulses: move towards, move away. And when both impulses are loud, you stall. This episode, I’m covering how inconsistency and unpredictability in childhood leads to the ambivalent attachment wound, the cost of remaining in this freeze response, and ways to rebuild trust with yourself through aligned actions. You're not trapped any more. You can leave, you can stay. You can ask, you can say no. You can change your mind, and you can trust that whatever happens next, you’ll not only survive it, but you can alchemize it to wisdom, growth, and healing.  Resources Website: robinbreckenridge.com Instagram: @coachwithrobin TikTok: @robinbreckenridge YouTube: @growwithrobinbreckenridge

    Ep. 44: Avoidant Attachment–When Love Feels Engulfing

    Where anxious attachment fears abandonment, avoidant attachment fears engulfment. You don’t lean in, you pull back. You create space. You disappear. This is the ‘flight’ response of attachment. You aren't fleeing because you don't care, you're fleeing because closeness once meant losing yourself.  When you’re in avoidant attachment, the walls you’ve built around yourself become armor. The armor protects you from disappointment and intrusion, but it also prevents closeness and intimacy. This episode, I’m delving into the causes behind anxious attachment wounds, the ways anxious attachment shows up as intellectualizing rather than feeling, how to stay in your body in order to access the intelligence of your nervous system and feelings, and how to start trusting that connection doesn’t have to mean losing yourself. This work isn’t about letting go of your independence, it’s about learning that connection doesn't have to cost you yourself. When we become rooted in self-trust, we can create closeness and connection with others while protecting ourselves and remaining in self-connection, and that’s exactly what I hope to encourage with this series.  Resources Website: robinbreckenridge.com Instagram: @coachwithrobin TikTok: @robinbreckenridge YouTube: @growwithrobinbreckenridge

    Ep. 43: Anxious Attachment–When You Fight for Love

    Having an anxious attachment isn't just about feeling like you're too much in relationships, it’s about being the one who fights for connection. You don't pull back, you lean in. You reach. You chase. You cling because connection equals safety. The more you fight to control the outcome of relationships, though, the further you move away from yourself.  This topic is close to my heart because I believe my unhealed anxious attachment wound is what brought me down in this life, and learning how to channel that anxiously attached energy into meaningful work is what lifted me back up. In this episode I’m sharing everything I’ve learned about what creates an anxious attachment wound, how it shows up in interpersonal relationships, the impacts it has on the body and nervous system, and how to parent those feelings and behaviors without turning to self-abandonment.  Working on your anxious attachment wound isn't about caring less–your emotions are a communication from your nervous system that there's a need there and your capacity for feeling is beautiful. The work is about learning how to care without losing yourself along the way.  Resources Website: robinbreckenridge.com Instagram: @coachwithrobin TikTok: @robinbreckenridge YouTube: @growwithrobinbreckenridge

    Ep. 42: Understanding Attachment Styles as Nervous System Alarms

    For most of my life, I thought I just loved deeply, felt deeply, cared more, and was more emotional and intense than others, which often led to me feeling like I was too much. What I didn't understand yet was that my nervous system was often leading the way rather than the conscious, regulated part of me. Once I learned about attachment styles, everything clicked.  Your attachment styles aren’t personality traits or labels; they’re alarms from your nervous system. How we attached when we were younger was really how we learned to deal with emotional pain. Not intellectually or consciously, but emotionally and in our bodies.  In the next four episodes, I'm going to break each attachment style down so we can dig deeper into each one. But for now, I’m giving an overview of what each attachment style looks like so you can start to identify the patterns that sound familiar to you. The goal of this work isn’t to shut the alarm off, it’s to get curious about what those alarms are signaling.  Once you understand the signal, you no longer have to obey it. You can listen, regulate, and choose something more aligned. Resources Website: robinbreckenridge.com Instagram: @coachwithrobin TikTok: @robinbreckenridge YouTube: @growwithrobinbreckenridge

    Ep. 41: Discovering Your Personal Style through Curiosity and Self-Compassion with Payton Dale

    So far on this podcast we’ve focused on inner resilience and self-connection, now it’s time we learn how to make our outsides reflect that new confidence and inner strength. This episode, I get to introduce you to someone who has impacted me personally, not just in the way I dress, but has helped me to approach a lot of scary style moments in the last year. Payton Dale is a Nashville-based rock n’ roll body-neutral stylist with over a decade of experience in the fashion industry. Payton is known for her unapologetically unique eye, her love for self-expression, and her mission to help people step into style from a place of confidence rather than comparison.  During our conversation, Payton and I discuss her own healing journey through body image and eating disorders, how she found her personal style to be a coming home to herself, everything she’s learned about fashion and style while working in the industry, and all the ways she inspires others to get curious about their personal style through a lens of self-compassion and authenticity.  Resources Website: thepaytonproject.com Tiktok & Instagram: @thepaytonproject Website: robinbreckenridge.com Instagram: @coachwithrobin TikTok: @robinbreckenridge YouTube: @growwithrobinbreckenridge
