54 minutes

Have you watched Sex and the City recently? Because..OMG..it is actually the perfect case study for looking at relationships and attachment styles. So this week, I’m please to welcome back Australia’s leading burnout expert and business therapist, Sheena Schuy.

We dive deep into some powerful topics around relationships, attachment styles, and emotional burnout, especially with Valentine’s Day right around the corner.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:

The Sex and the City connection: We break down the dynamic between Carrie Bradshaw and her love interests, focusing on the attachment styles at play—Anxious vs. Avoidant (Carrie & Big) and Anxious vs. Secure (Carrie & Aiden).

How understanding your attachment style can help you identify patterns in your relationships and avoid emotional burnout.

The impact of Valentine’s Day on your emotional well-being—how societal pressure around romance can trigger stress and negative emotions.

How to navigate stressful relationships and set boundaries to protect your mental and emotional health.

Tips for recognising and dealing with emotional burnout, especially when you’re supporting others who may be going through tough times, like illness or family stress.

The difference between living from your ego vs living from your intuition

If you’ve ever felt like relationships (or life!) are pushing you to your limits, this episode is full of insights and actionable advice to help you create healthier boundaries, prevent burnout and build stronger, more balanced connections!
