Ever feel like you're self-sabotaging just as life starts getting better? Or frustrated that you're not "further along" in your personal growth journey?
In this reflective year-end episode of You Will Be Okay, I open up about the subtle but profound transformation I've experienced over the past year—and what true, sustainable change really looks like in real life.

Key takeaways you'll get:

- Why change doesn't have to start on January 1st (and why we often hit rock bottom right before breakthroughs)
- The truth about self-sabotage and the hidden fears that arise when stability finally shows up
- Navigating the "messy middle"—that unglamorous phase where real growth happens, even when it feels stagnant
- How motivation fades fast, but consistency and building emotional resilience create lasting results
- Why unrealistic expectations and old coping mechanisms hold us back—and how to break free
- Practical ways to sit with discomfort and build the emotional capacity needed for change that sticks

If you've ever backslid during progress, felt stuck in frustration, or wondered why growth feels so slow, this episode is your reminder: You're not alone, and pushing through anyway is the key to moving forward.

In this episode, I break down anxious attachment—what it actually is, where it comes from, and why it can make love feel so overwhelming. I talk about how anxious attachment often forms in childhood, how it shows up as overthinking, fear of abandonment, and self-sabotage in relationships, and why so many people end up relying on others for reassurance instead of trusting themselves.

More importantly, I walk you through how to heal it. I share practical tools for recognizing triggers, regulating your nervous system, challenging anxious thought patterns, and rebuilding self-esteem so your relationships stop feeling like emotional rollercoasters. If you’ve ever felt like you care “too much,” get attached too fast, or lose yourself in relationships, this episode will help you understand why—and show you that anxious attachment is not a life sentence.

This conversation is about moving from fear to security, from chasing to choosing, and from anxiety to self-trust—so you can create healthier, calmer, more fulfilling connections.

In this episode, I sit down with writer and speaker Amanda McCracken, who shares her deeply personal journey as a late-in-life virgin — a story that’s so much more layered than people realize. We talk about how purity culture shaped her beliefs around sex and relationships, the misconceptions she had to untangle about virginity and self-worth, and how those early narratives followed her well into adulthood.

Amanda also breaks down limerence — that intoxicating, obsessive pull toward unavailable partners — and explains the science behind longing and why dopamine can keep us hooked on fantasy instead of grounded, healthy love.

We explore how she began healing through somatic work, how reconnecting with her body changed everything, and how her family dynamics influenced the kind of love she chased. Her story is such a powerful example of what happens when you start choosing yourself, building self-worth, and stepping out of old patterns.

In this episode, I break down why men pull away in relationships — and why it isn’t always a sign that something is wrong. I talk about the difference between healthy distance and avoidant attachment, and I share the psychological patterns behind withdrawal that most women never learn to recognize.

I also get into the common mistakes women make when a man pulls back, including overanalyzing, seeking reassurance, or unknowingly creating pressure. Instead, I walk you through how to stay grounded, self-regulated, and confident while giving space in a way that actually strengthens the connection.

Whether you're dating, in a relationship, or navigating anxious-avoidant dynamics, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface.

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into attachment styles — what they are, how they shape your relationships, and most importantly, how to heal them.

If you’ve ever wondered why you keep attracting the same type of partner… why you get anxious when you really like someone… why vulnerability feels difficult… or why the people you date pull away just when things get close — this episode is going to make your entire romantic history make sense.

We break down:

- The 4 attachment styles: secure, anxious, avoidant, and fearful-avoidant
- How childhood experiences shape your nervous system and your patterns in love
- How attachment shows up in dating, communication, conflict, and intimacy
- The difference between an avoidant partner and someone who simply isn’t that into you
- Why anxious and avoidant partners are magnetically drawn to each other
- And most importantly — how to build secure attachment, no matter where you’re starting from

This isn’t about labels or blaming your past. This is about building the tools to feel safe in love, stop abandoning yourself for connection, and finally experience relationships that are stable, healthy, and fulfilling.

In this episode, I sit down with dating coach Evan Marc Katz to talk about one of the most frustrating parts of being single — when the people you want don’t want you, and the ones who do just don’t feel like a match.

Evan breaks down the paradox of modern dating and why attraction so often feels one-sided. We talk about the emotional challenges of being single, what this mismatch really reveals about our patterns, and how to start creating overlap between what you want and what wants you.

If you’ve ever wondered why dating feels so unfair or why it seems impossible to find someone who actually aligns with you, this episode will help you see things differently. It’s real, honest, and surprisingly hopeful — because once you understand the game, you can start playing it on your terms.

In this episode, I dive deep into the psychology of emotional unavailability — what’s really going on beneath the surface when someone pulls away just as things start to feel real.

I talk about how emotionally unavailable people often operate from a state of dysregulation, not detachment. They’re not intentionally cold or manipulative — they’re usually in survival mode, reacting to intimacy as if it’s dangerous. When closeness triggers fear, their instinct is to withdraw, avoid, or shut down.

Understanding this dynamic doesn’t excuse their behavior, but it helps you stop taking it personally and start seeing these patterns for what they are — unconscious defense mechanisms rooted in fear, not rejection.

If you’ve ever dated someone who ran hot and cold or disappeared after things started getting deeper, this episode will help you make sense of it, stay grounded, and approach relationships with more awareness and compassion.

In this episode of You Will Be OK, I talk about the real barriers that keep so many of us from finding love—and how, most of the time, what’s getting in our way is ourselves. I share how our fears, insecurities, and unhealed wounds quietly sabotage relationships and make love feel harder than it needs to be. I also break down why inner work and self-awareness are the most powerful tools for attracting and keeping meaningful love.
