There's not much worse than wanting your life and relationships to change — to deeply thrive — and not seeing or understanding why you can't seem to get there.

One of the silent causes behind SO many relationship woes (romantic, of course, but ALL of them, including the ones you have at work and with work) is your attachment style.

Never heard of it? Well, you need to! And we happen to have the person to teach you all about it.

On this month's interview with an expert, we talked to therapist Shira Myrow about the nuances of attachment. Listen in as we explore…

• What exactly attachment is, and how to tell if your style is healthy or unhealthy,
• Examples of how to identify unhealthy attachment in your life and relationships,
• Ways to regulate and overcome the unhealthy patterns that keep you stuck,
• Some surprising facts about how the brain works that had us reeling!

Come leave a comment after you've listened to share how Shira's take on attachment resonated with you!
