High-Performing Moms and the Pain No One Sees | Adam Lane Smith


Listen Later

What happens when high-performing moms carry hidden pain no one sees? This episode exposes the emotional cost of perfection, attachment wounds, and the struggle to feel safe in love and motherhood.

Topics Covered

👉 The unseen emotional pain behind high-performing motherhood
👉 How childhood instability shapes attachment and coping
👉 The “quiet disorganized” attachment style explained
👉 Emotional detachment as a stress survival mechanism
👉 Healing and self-awareness after divorce
👉 Nervous-system regulation and the need for safety
👉 The guilt around self-care for high-achieving women
👉 Reconnecting with emotions and authentic love

Behind every high-performing mom is often a nervous system in overdrive. True strength comes not from perfection but from reconnecting, feeling, and allowing love to be safe again.
