Heartbroken, Not Broken: Love, Relationships, Breakups and Healing

Abandonment Wounds, Anxious Attachment & the Pain That Transforms Us


Listen Later

In today’s vulnerable and illuminating episode of Heartbroken, Not Broken, your host Momo Moon continues the deep dive into attachment styles—shifting the focus from dismissive avoidants to those of us who carry the heavy ache of abandonment.


Broadcasting from the lush trails of Hawaii, Momo shares her own revelations around anxious-preoccupied attachment and explores how childhood experiences shape the ways we love, long, and lose. With warmth and raw honesty, she discusses the psychological roots of attachment theory (Bowlby, Ainsworth), the neuroscience of heartbreak (Dr. Helen Fisher, Dr. Naomi Eisenberger), and the soul work of healing through heartbreak.


You’ll hear reflections on:

  • ​Why anxious types struggle most in love and loss
  • ​How we mistake intensity for intimacy
  • ​What Dr. Amir Levine, bell hooks, and Dr. Nicole LePera teach about healing old wounds
  • ​The difference between emotional chaos and true love
  • ​How heartbreak becomes a portal to self-recognition and inner strength


If you’ve ever felt “too much,” blamed yourself for someone else’s distance, or feared you’d never feel whole again—this episode is for you. It’s tender, powerful, and packed with insights to help you reparent your inner child, regulate your nervous system, and start feeling whole on your own terms.


As always, take what resonates and leave the rest. And remember: you are lovable, you are safe, and you are not alone.
