Ever wonder why you show up the way you do in relationships?
Why certain patterns keep repeating even when you want something different?

In today’s episode, we’re diving into attachment styles — what they are, where they come from, and how they shape the way we connect in our relationships.

This conversation was inspired by a recent girls night where I realized that some of my friends had never even heard of attachment styles before. So if this is new to you, don’t worry — class is in session, besties 📚✨

In this episode, we talk about:

• What attachment is (and the difference between attachment vs. connection)

• Where attachment theory comes from

• The four attachment styles: secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized

• My personal experience going from anxious to secure through therapy

• Why understanding your attachment style can improve the quality of your relationships

• Steps you can take to move toward a more secure attachment

  
  

Understanding your attachment style isn’t about labeling yourself — it’s about gaining awareness, healing at the root, and creating healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

✨ Disclaimer: I am not a licensed therapist or mental health professional. I’m simply sharing what I’ve learned through my own healing journey, therapy, and personal research.

In today’s episode, I talk about the space between who you are now and who you’re becoming — the void, the healing, the letting go, and the messy human parts of growth we don’t always share online.If you’ve been feeling stuck, in-between, or like you’re outgrowing old versions of yourself (and people you love), this episode will make you feel seen. Becoming is emotional, uncomfortable, and so worth it.✨ Connect with me on IG:@selflovemodel https://www.instagram.com/selflovemodel/@cindyehphotography https://www.instagram.com/cindyyehphotography/@fitgirlcid https://www.instagram.com/fitgirlcid/💍 Wearing jewelry pieces from Dalia’s Silver Lining — go show them love!https://www.instagram.com/daliassilver/🏋🏻‍♀️ Sponsored by Titan Nutritionhttps://titannutrition.net/?aff=364discount code "CINDY"Don’t forget to subscribe, and share this episode with someone who’s in their own becoming. 💛

In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, Cindy sits down with Amanda Piña to explore the raw realities of healing, therapy, and the deeply human experience of navigating emotions. Together, they dive into the mental health field, sharing both professional insights and personal stories.They discuss the journey of self-healing, the impact of core beliefs, and how our early conditioning shapes the way we show up in relationships. Amanda opens up about her path to becoming a children's therapist and the emotional toll addiction took on her family. They unpack relationship dynamics—like being a reacher vs. a leaner—and the often-unspoken in-between stage of grief, growth, and finding oneself again.From embracing sadness to celebrating wins like walking in fashion shows, this episode is a reminder that healing isn’t linear—but it’s always worth it.Timestamps:06:06 – The Therapist's Journey: Insights into Therapy17:49 – Intellectualization: Understanding and Processing Emotions23:47 – Choosing a Path: Becoming a Children's Therapist01:01:12 – Core Beliefs and Their Influence01:12:43 – The Journey of Self-Healing and Accountability01:19:41 – Embracing Emotions: The Power of Sadness01:32:17 – Navigating Relationships: Reachers vs. Leaners01:46:21 – The Impact of Addiction: A Sister's Journey02:00:23 – Embracing New Opportunities02:14:09 – Navigating Change and Growth02:20:27 – Grieving the Old Self02:34:47 – Defining Self-LoveConnect with us:

In this episode of The Self Love Model, I dive into the transformative power of slowing down. I share personal stories about how embracing pauses—whether intentional or unexpected—has created space for deep shifts in my life.

In a world that glorifies hustle culture and constant productivity, I open up about what it’s been like to step away, listen to my intuition, and allow myself to rest. I also talk about the recent life changes I’ve been moving through and why I took a break from the podcast.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or unsure of your next steps—this episode is for you. You are not alone, and sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is pause.
