Today I've got something really special for you. I recently had an incredible live Instagram session with the amazing Thais Gibson, a true expert on relationships and attachment styles. I'm so excited to share this conversation with you because we dive deep into understanding these vital aspects of how we connect and communicate in our relationships.

Thais breaks down the four major attachment styles—securely attached, anxious/preoccupied, dismissive/avoidant, and fearful avoidant—and how each of these shapes our subconscious beliefs about love. We chat about how our childhood experiences mold these styles and the profound impact this has on our adult relationships.

I also get a bit personal in this episode, opening up about my own journey and struggles with health and hormones, as well as my path from being dismissive avoidant to becoming securely attached. Thais shares practical strategies for identifying and transforming our attachment patterns, which I found incredibly empowering.

And guess what? We even touch on the exciting idea of a dating app based on attachment styles! Plus, we delve into the crucial topics of self-validation and emotional regulation. If you're looking to understand your own attachment style better or hoping to improve your relationships, this episode is jam-packed with actionable insights.
