Becoming is Messy

Obsessed, Anxious, and Calling It Love: Welcome to Limerence


Listen Later

What if the deep, soul-shaking “love” you’ve been chasing isn’t love at all—but limerence?

In this solo episode, Meghann opens up about her decades-long dance with limerence: the obsessive, all-consuming longing that often masquerades as connection. From childhood trauma and emotional spirals to the healing that came through radical self-love (and a very grounded partner), this is a relatable look at how trauma wires our hearts—and how we can begin to rewrite the story.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

💥 What limerence really is—and how to know if you’re caught in it 🧠 How trauma and attachment styles fuel obsessive longing 💔 The truth about confusing chemistry, chaos, and “fate” 🛠 Meghann’s personal strategies for healing and managing limerent spirals 💛 A look into how honesty, therapy, and a safe relationship changed everything

Whether you’ve felt this before or are just now realizing you have, you’re not broken—you’re becoming. And it’s okay if it’s messy.
