insecure in love: my story

Hi, besties, In today's episode of Candid, join me in my new series 'Insecure in love' where I talk about my experience of having an anxious attachment style, navigating relationships and managing shame around a fear of abandonment. Today I discuss starting therapy, the different attachment styles and why I hate modern dating. Listen here for some hard truths, a lot of oversharing and a reminder that there is power in being vulnerable.  In the Insecure in Love series, I will be talking to guests who will share their personal experiences of attachment trauma, professionals who support individuals with relational trauma and you'll be given a chance to listen to guests who have been there, done that and most definitely got the t-shirt. Tune into the next episodes <3  _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ You asked and you received.
