Beschrijving

Sometimes the pain of constantly chasing, waiting, and seeking love triggers a protective mechanism that leads an anxious attachment into an avoidant state. Whether it’s always being the one waiting for that reply, making excuses, giving until there’s nothing left, maybe the anxious finally gave up and became protective of their heart. Because at one point, the person who craved closeness is now afraid of it. In this episode, Kristen expresses the shift that sometimes occurs in an anxious attachment into the avoidant, learning to heal, and navigating relationships in a healthy way.                        Disclaimer: The views expressed in this content do not, and do not intend to constitute legal advice, all information or advice provided is provided for informational and entertainment purposes.

listen if you're looking for closure

If you've been replaying old memories, overthinking every little detail, and convincing yourself that maybe one more conversation would finally let you move on, this episode is for you. I share what it means to be left without an apology, without a final goodbye, and without the closure you thought you needed. But maybe real closure isn't something someone else gives you, maybe it's finally accepting their behavior was the explanation. Maybe it's realizing their silence was the answer. Because maybe the closure you've been searching for has been right in front of you all along.                    Disclaimer: The views expressed in this content do not, and do not intend to constitute legal advice, all information or advice provided is provided for informational and entertainment purposes.

do they deserve a second chance?

If someone had the privilege of having you in their life and still chose to hurt you, disrespect you, or take you for granted, do they really deserve a second chance? In this episode, I explain why I don't believe everyone deserves one. We explore the difference between a genuine mistake and a repeated pattern of behavior, how broken trust changes a relationship, and why you should never settle for being someone's backup plan. Because the truth is, not everyone deserves access to you twice.                Disclaimer: The views expressed in this content do not, and do not intend to constitute legal advice, all information or advice provided is provided for informational and entertainment purposes.

stop waiting for them to come back.

Don’t wait for them. Don’t. I know it’s difficult to hear, but you’re waiting for someone who clearly isn’t choosing you. I get it, it may have felt deep, different, like a connection you never felt before. But the truth is simple, if they wanted to be here, they would. In this episode, I talk about how to sit with the reality, being honest with yourself, asking yourself why you would wait for someone who could let you go so easily? Because at some point, you have to realize they are making a conscious decision to not be a part of your life. So ask yourself, is this really the kind of connection you want to keep making space for? Is this truly the love you deserve?                          Disclaimer: The views expressed in this content do not, and do not intend to constitute legal advice, all information or advice provided is provided for informational and entertainment purposes.

you're healing...but you still miss them.

Missing them doesn’t mean you’re not healing. In fact, missing someone is a normal part of the healing process when you genuinely cared about them. But those feelings don’t mean you’re going backwards. They simply mean that something mattered to you in that moment. In this episode, Kristen talks about understanding the difference between missing someone, grieving potential, feeling emotions without allowing them to consume you, and learning to miss someone without letting their absence consume you from moving forward. Because the truth is, healing is learning to carry emotions without letting them carry you.                        Disclaimer: The views expressed in this content do not, and do not intend to constitute legal advice, all information or advice provided is provided for informational and entertainment purposes.
