Breaking the Silence

In this special episode, I sit down with Tash to dive into the heart of the anxious and avoidant dynamic in relationships. We’ll explore how we can truly bridge the gap between these attachment styles and show up more fully for others. It starts with transforming how we relate to ourselves—healing the wounds that hold us back and embracing the growth that can transform our connections. Tune in as we uncover practical steps for navigating this journey with empathy, self-awareness, and love.

You can find Tash on TikTok @Natashavctoria. She offers one on one calls, the link is in her bio on TikTok. She also has a podcast called Unattached, which you can find on Spotify and Apple. The newest thing she is working on is creating a community within the Skool app. It will be a place where people that are becoming aware of how their traumas are shaping their relationships can connect with others as welll as Tash to learn, grown and heal.

In our season finale, we wrap up an incredible journey of emotions, experiences, and shared humanity. From the laughter that lightened our hearts to the tears that marked our shared grief and wounds, we've traveled a path of healing together.
