    EP 615: 7 Things Secure Partners Never Do (And Why This Changes Everything About Your Relationships)

    As we close out the year and step into a fresh chapter, I wanted to create an episode that feels grounding, clarifying, and empowering. This episode came from a place of deep reflection, on this show, on relationships, and on what it actually looks like to build secure, healthy love. Sometimes the most powerful clarity doesn’t come from what we should tolerate or work harder at, but from getting crystal clear on what simply does not belong in secure partnership. In this episode, I walk you through the non-negotiables that define secure relationships, so you can move into this next season with higher standards, deeper self-trust, and a stronger sense of who you are becoming. Inside the episode: Why secure partners lead with integrity, emotional regulation, and respect and what it reveals about attachment and nervous system safetyThe subtle but damaging dynamics that don’t exist in secure relationships (and how to stop normalizing them)How clarity around “what’s a no” helps you build stronger boundaries, healthier standards, and a securely attached identity If this episode resonated with you and you know you’re ready to stop repeating old relationship patterns, this is your moment. Applications for the Empowered.Secure.Loved.® Relationship Program are closing for the year, and this is the last chance to join in its current format. To support you in taking this step, we’re offering Secure December: A Farewell Sale — a limited-time 70% off offer available right now. This is your opportunity to do the deep attachment work, receive guidance, and step into the securely attached version of you as we head into a new year.

    If you’re looking back on 2025 feeling frustrated, discouraged, or quietly disappointed that the same patterns showed up again, this episode is for you. This is the conversation I wish I had heard during some of the hardest New Year seasons of my life. In today’s episode, I walk you through the real shifts that actually change your life, not surface-level resolutions, not hustle, not forcing yourself to “try harder,” but the foundational inner work that breaks cycles and creates lasting change. If you know, deep down, that 2026 has to be different, let’s talk about how to make that happen in a grounded, compassionate, and sustainable way. Inside the episode:Why support, self-compassion, and identity work, not willpower, are the keys to breaking repeated patternsHow taking intentional space (including a break from dating) can reset your nervous system and change how you show upThe mindset shift that makes real change inevitable: feeling the cost of staying the same and choosing differently If this episode resonated, I want you to know this: you do not have to do this alone. The work we talked about today, healing attachment wounds, becoming securely attached, changing at an identity level, and learning how to show up differently in relationships is exactly what we do inside the Empowered.Secure.Loved.
