In this solo episode, Andrea Atherton takes us on a journey into the practice of holding space for those we love. Holding space is not just about being physically present; it's about creating an environment of unconditional support, deep empathy, and non-judgment. She delves into the true meaning of creating this container and the delicate balance required to support someone without losing yourself in the process. 

Whether you're a recovering people-pleaser, someone with an anxious-avoidant attachment style, or simply looking to strengthen your relationships, this episode provides practical insights and techniques to help you create safe, healing spaces for your loved ones. She discusses the challenges and rewards of holding space, especially for those who naturally feel compelled to fix problems or who struggle with anxiety and avoidance. Throughout the episode, you'll learn how to develop a mindset that fosters emotional intimacy while maintaining healthy boundaries, ensuring that your support is both genuine and sustainable.

Andrea explores the essential connection between holding space and self-care. By recognizing our own needs and establishing clear boundaries, we can offer support to others without depleting our own energy. This emphasizes that holding space is a reciprocal act of love—one that nourishes both the giver and the receiver. Tune in to discover how this practice can enrich your relationships, empower your personal growth, and bring more love into your life and the world around you.
