In this encore episode, Kristen sits down with Dr. Judy Ho to break down attachment theory, how it shapes our relationships, and how we can heal insecure attachment at any stage of life.

You will learn:

• How attachment styles are formed in early childhood and why they still impact your adult relationships today
• The key differences between secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles
• Why you may be attracted to certain partners (and how attachment patterns drive relationship dynamics)
• What the inner child really is and how unresolved wounds show up in your daily life
• Practical ways to start healing insecure attachment through self-compassion and reparenting
• How to use radical acceptance and self-awareness to break cycles and build healthier relationships
