In this episode, I sat down with Thais Gibson, the founder of The Personal Development School and a true pioneer in attachment healing.

We broke down the science behind anxious, avoidant, fearful, and secure attachment — what each one looks like, how it's formed, and how to heal and reprogram those patterns using neuroplasticity.

We talked about how your attachment style is actually your relationship to yourself first, not just how you show up in love — and how to finally meet your own needs instead of chasing people to meet them for you.

This is one of those episodes you'll want to take notes on — it's loaded with practical tools, from how to stop refeeding old wounds to how to build emotional safety within your nervous system.

You'll hear us dive into:

• What attachment theory really means and why you aren't born with a style — it's conditioned.
• The six pillars of Integrated Attachment Theory.
• How to identify and rewire your core wounds through repetition and emotion.
• The real difference between self-soothing and self-numbing.
• The unique "superpowers" of each insecure attachment style.
• Tangible 21-day practices to start creating security from the inside out.

In this tandem episode, I'm unpacking a question posed by the viral Vogue article: "Is having a boyfriend embarrassing now?"

We'll talk about the cultural shift that's made women feel like being in a healthy relationship somehow makes you weaker, less independent, or less "girlboss." I share how I've seen internet feminism swing too far into performative man-hating, why that still feels like centering men, and how to reclaim power, partnership, and sovereignty at the same time.

I also open up about what it's looked like in my own life — from losing myself in unhealthy relationships, to re-rootingwho I am, and now finding myself in a relationship that's healthy, supportive, and expansive.

This is a conversation about nuance, leadership, and emotional maturity, and about learning to build a life that's self-led and open to love if you want to pursue partnership.

You'll hear:

• Why "decentering men" still secretly centers them
• How social media's "soft hate" toward partnership keeps women disconnected
• The difference between self-abandonment and healthy interdependence
• What true feminine sovereignty looks like inside a relationship
• How to build your identity so partnership is additive, not definitive

In this solo, I dig into the real difference between looking hot and "being her": the woman whose inner world and outer world actually match.

I share why "aesthetic integrity" matters, how to spot performative confidence vs. the grounded kind, and what energetic congruence looks like in everyday choices (fitness, relationships, business, faith).

You'll hear the three pillars I use to build embodied confidence, and practical prompts you can steal this week to move from performing to becoming.

We dive into:

• The unpopular truth of living in a visual (and yes, aesthetic) world, and how to make that work for you (not against you).
• Aesthetic Integrity vs. "costumes": aligning how you present with who you really are.
• Energetic Congruence: why confidence = energy meeting your standards (not just your feed).
• Embodied Identity: acting like the woman you say you are before the world sees it.
• Simple prompts to collapse the gap between pretending and becoming, starting today.

If this lands, share it with a bestie and tell me one thing you're doing this week from embodied confidence, not performance.

It's been a while since we had a good, old-fashioned, heart to heart. Today I'm sitting down and sharing an unfiltered list of things I struggle with day-to-day as a high performing women who genuinely wants to do, be, and have everything she can in life.

From professional struggles to questioning my own femininity amidst ever-changing cultural narratives, I hope that in me ripping the lid off my own challenges, it gives you some grace and company in your own.

In this solo, I tell the real story behind my burnout and the pendulum swing that followed… girlbossing too close to the sun, soft-girling too close to the moon, and the grounded way I came back. I walk through the exact moments that broke me open (ADHD meds, record revenue paired with a personal low point, getting blindsided in business), why the spiritual detour didn't actually make my life better, and the simple, non-sexy habits that rebuilt my fire, my voice, and my results.

You'll hear about my DRC formula (Drive, Recovery, Clarity) for managing energy, how I'm integrating softness without losing ambition, and the 14-day return-to-drive protocol you can start today. If you're a high-performer who lost her spark, or you're scared success = burnout, this episode is your bridge back.

Topics:

• The 2022 scale-up that led to record revenue…and a deeper personal crash
• Why I define burnout as misallocated energy (and how to rebalance with DRC)
• The spiritual season I had to question, detach from, and redefine
• Returning to intensity through fitness and focused work
• Boundaries that actually protect your ambition (Slack hours, one day offline)
• The 14-day protocol: training, protein/fiber, sleep, focus blocks, spiritual stillness
• Narrowing my message to increase impact and income

• • Rebuilding with A-players at work and at home
