    EP 687: How to Stop Attracting the Wrong Guy, with Serena Kerrigan

    She almost said no to the man who became her person, because he didn't check every box. This week I'm sitting down with Serena Kerrigan, author of Let's F*****g Date, to talk about the standards that almost kept her from Felix, the guy who's now her partner of four years. Serena opens up about the "deal breakers" she used to swear by, why she almost walked away from someone six years younger, and the moment she realized her real non-negotiable was never age or income, it was how he treated her. We go deep into healing, self-love, and the repetition compulsion that had her attracting the same guy over and over until she finally asked why. Serena shares the therapy work that got her there, what secure love actually felt like once she found it (hint: it's boring in the best way), and her "Mirror Mirror" practice for rebuilding self-worth one conversation at a time. If you've ever wondered whether your standards are protecting you or isolating you, this episode is your permission slip to look closer. Inside the Episode: The dating "standard" Serena had to let go of to find her personWhy the fear of being "too intimidating" is keeping the wrong men in your dating poolThe two-day text rule that tells you everything about where you stand Connect with Serena: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@serenakerriganInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/serenakerrigan/Get the book, Let's F*****g Date Ready to do this work for yourself?

    EP 686: Self Love in Action: High Self-Worth Beliefs & Behaviors

    Here's the thing nobody tells you about self-love: you can do all the right behaviors and still feel empty if the beliefs underneath them are broken. I'm recording this one from a hotel room in New York, and honestly, I've been thinking about this episode all day. This is part two of our September Self-Love series, and I want to talk about something I don't think gets talked about enough, the actual beliefs that have to be there for self-love to be real and lasting, not just a phase you're in until life gets hard again. If you've ever set an intention to treat yourself better, lasted three days, and then quietly went back to old patterns, I need you to hear this. That's not a willpower problem. That's a belief problem. So today I'm walking you through the eight beliefs I consider absolutely essential, four about yourself and four about the people in your life, and what it actually looks like to live this out day to day, not just talk about it. Inside the episode: The self-esteem roller coaster I was on for over a decade, and why getting the promotion, the relationship, or the number on the scale never actually fixed how I felt about myselfThe eight core beliefs I walk every client through, including the one that quietly keeps people single without them even realizing it's the reasonWhat self-love actually looks like in your daily life, not the Instagram version, the real one If this episode stirred something up for you and you're realizing your belief system needs some rewiring, that's exactly what I built Identity Reset for. It's a short, focused audio training to help you start shifting those subconscious beliefs we talked about today. Grab the Identity Reset today! And if you're ready to do this work with me directly, I have a couple of spots open for VIP 1:1 coaching right now. This is where we rebuild your self-worth, rewrite the beliefs, and get you to secure attachment together, step by step. Apply for the VIP program here!

    EP 685: What Does "Self-Love" Even Mean? My Personal Definition

    When you hear the words "self-love," what comes to mind? A bubble bath? Treating yourself to lunch? Setting a boundary or two? Those things aren't wrong, but they're not the whole picture. In this episode, I'm sharing my personal, working definition of self-love, the one I've landed on after years in this work with my own healing and sitting across from countless clients. We're going to talk about what actually gets in the way of loving yourself, why survival mode makes it feel like a privilege you can't afford, and why your "picker" isn't broken, it just needs recalibrating. If you've ever felt like you keep ending up in relationships that don't last, this episode gets to the root of why. In This Episode: My personal definition of self-love and why it goes so much deeper than pop culture's version of "self-care"The real reasons self-love gets buried, from survival mode to outsourcing your self-worth to other peopleWhy building this foundation first is what determines whether your relationships actually last, romantic or otherwise Ready to actually rewire the beliefs keeping you stuck? My Identity Reset is a 10 minute daily practice using NLP principles to help you start embodying your highest, most secure self, and it's now available to everyone, not just my one-on-one clients. Grab the Identity Reset today! And if you're ready to go even deeper, I currently have two spots open for one-on-one coaching. This is my favorite work I do, and these spots go fast.

    EP 684: Why Knowing Isn't Healing: What Actually Changes Your Attachment Style

    You can understand your attachment style perfectly and still repeat it every single time. That's not a you problem, that's the missing piece nobody talks about. This is the episode I've been building toward all series. If you've ever sat there thinking "I know why I do this, I've read the books, I've named the pattern... So why do I still react the same way?" this one's for you. Insight is the beginning of attachment healing, not the finish line. Today I'm walking you through what actually rewires your nervous system and gets you from knowing secure attachment to living it. Inside the Episode: Why your childhood-built predictions ("if I need something, I'll be rejected") feel like facts, and the one thing that's proven to change themThe exact moment-by-moment process for catching a trigger before it hijacks you, and what to do in that space instead of reactingWhy some of the most self-aware women I work with still get stuck, and the step almost everyone skips on the way to becoming securely attached This episode wraps our Attachment Theory Got an Upgrade series, and honestly? It might be the most important one. Ready to start building your secure identity today? Grab the Identity Reset, the daily practice I've personally used since 2020 to align with my highest self. It's simple, it's fast, and people notice a shift within days. Grab the Identity Reset today! P.S. I only have two 1:1 coaching spots opening at the end of September.

    EP 683: Why Reassurance Doesn't Always Work, Even When It's Given

    Reassurance isn't the problem. The wrong kind of reassurance is. If you've ever heard "I'm not leaving" or "we're fine" and felt your nervous system stay exactly as anxious as it was five minutes ago, this episode is for you. Part 3 of Attachment Theory Got an Upgrade is diving into the research on why reassurance sometimes calms us down and sometimes completely misses the mark. I'm breaking down what a massive systematic review found about partner support and attachment insecurity, and why the answer isn't "more reassurance", it's the right kind, given the right way, to a partner who's actually able to receive it. Inside the Episode: The surprising research finding that reassurance doesn't work the way you'd expect for most people, and what actually determines whether it landsThe real-life examples of tailored vs. untailored reassurance (including the moment with my husband and a hot shower that fixes everything, apparently)The one caveat I need you to hear before you convince yourself you "just need to communicate better", because sometimes it's not an attachment wound, it's a red flag You deserve a love that feels safe without you having to ask for it seventeen different ways. And healing that starts with understanding your own patterns first. Ready to build the self-trust that makes reassurance actually land? Start with my free Identity Reset, a simple daily practice to help you show up as your most secure self, one day at a time: Grab the Identity Reset today! P.S. If you're ready to go deeper and do this healing work with real support, applications for my VIP 1:1 Coaching Program are open. This is where we get into your specific patterns, your specific relationship, and build the kind of security that doesn't depend on anyone else's behavior. Click Here to Apply

    EP 682: A Secure Partner Won't Fix You, Here's What Actually Will

    A secure partner cannot heal your attachment style. I need you to sit with that for a second. This is part two of our Attachment Theory Got an Upgrade series, and it's a good one. We're breaking down a 2025 study that followed over 1,000 couples for 20 months and the findings challenge the story so many of us tell ourselves: that finding the "right" person will just heal us. I've believed that too. Here's what the research actually says, and what to do about it. Inside the Episode: Why a securely attached partner's love can still leave you spiraling, and it's not because something's wrong with youWhat a secure partner genuinely can offer you, and the handful of things even the best partner can't do for youThe practical shifts that actually move you toward secure attachment, so you stop outsourcing your healing to whoever you're dating Ready to start doing the daily work that actually changes your internal model? That's exactly what the Identity Reset is for, a simple daily practice that has changed my life and my clients' lives. Grab the Identity Reset today! P.S.

    EP 681: Your Attachment Style Didn't Just come from Your Parents

    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 adulthood Want to work through your own origin story? Identity Reset walks you through it: Grab the Identity Reset today! P.S. My 1:1 coaching spots are currently full, but I'm keeping a waitlist open for the VIP Program. If you're ready to stop just understanding your patterns and start actually changing them, get on the list using the link in the show notes, I'd love to work with you when a spot opens up. → Click Here to Apply
