  • You Are Not Your Attachment Style: IFS, Healing, and Hard Truths

    In this heartfelt episode, Kass dives deep into the world of attachment styles through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS). She shares why attachment isn’t who you are—it’s simply how your nervous system learned to survive love, loss, and connection.

    Kass also gets real about the debate on whether dismissive traits can cause emotional harm, why labeling without accountability is dangerous, and how repeating patterns in relationships may cross into emotional abuse when awareness meets avoidance. Through her own stories of heartbreak, healing, and honest self-reflection, she illustrates how IFS helps reframe anxious, avoidant, or dismissive behaviors not as flaws—but as protective strategies shaped by our earliest wounds.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why attachment styles are maps, not identities

    • How IFS “parts” (Exiles, Managers, Firefighters) show up in relationships

    • Why accountability and communication matter more than excuses

    • How healing work creates compassion—for others and yourself

    • The power of nervous system regulation practices like breathwork, sound, and yoga

    This conversation is raw, vulnerable, and full of practical wisdom to help you understand your patterns, release shame, and step into healthier ways of relating—with yourself and with others.

  • Somatic Release, Sacred Journeys & Finding My Voice Again

    In this bonus episode, I open up about what’s been unfolding behind the scenes—celebrating my birthday, planning retreats, and carving out rare time just for myself. I share my profound experience at a writing workshop and a shamanic journey where I encountered a powerful somatic release with hapé medicine. From vivid dreams to signs from the universe, to the deep conversation I had with my son from prison, this episode is about healing, purging, and reclaiming my voice amidst heartbreak, growth, and the whirlwind of life. A reminder that no matter what you’re carrying—you’re not alone, and there’s always light guiding us forward.

  • When the Work Becomes Real: Public Speaking, Announcement, Motherhood & Mental Health

    In this episode, I share what it was really like to walk into that room—nerves, negative self-talk, dancing it out in the car beforehand, and all. You’ll hear how we used body scanning, breathwork, affirmations, and journaling to move through stress responses, and how vibrant touches (like flowers filling the space) made the experience even more healing. The women’s “aha” moments reminded me why I do this work: to help others untangle the “whys,” release old wounds, and reclaim their power.

    I also reflect on the bigger picture—how years of personal healing, trauma therapy, and hard lessons are now showing up in ways I once only dreamed about. For so long, I imagined myself on stages sharing my story, giving people tools to survive and thrive, and now it’s happening. This is just the beginning of where Inspired Warrior Project is going: more speaking, more connection, more growth, and more healing spaces for all of society’s warriors.

    Inside this episode, you’ll hear about:

    • My first workshop experience and the lessons it brought.

    • How attachment styles, core values, and love languages all connect.

    • The role of flowers, music, and movement in shifting energy and creating joy.

    • Why negative self-talk can be our biggest enemy—and how to shift it.

    • The importance of self-prioritization, boundaries, and compassion in healing.

    And, a BIG announcement —The Vulnerability Project Podcast is now streaming on multiple platforms! You can now listen (and share!) on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and iHeartRadio. This move means more accessibility, more community, and more opportunities to grow together.

    So, whether you’re here for the attachment style series, the raw stories, or the healing tools, thank you for tuning in. This journey is about all of us—choosing ourselves, breaking cycles, and showing up as the warriors we are meant to be.

  • Attachment Styles, Core Values, & Choosing Yourself

    In this raw and vulnerable episode of The Vulnerability Project Podcast, Kass Gomez opens up about her very first solo camping trip — and the life-changing realizations that came with it. Armed with a journal, a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and a copy of Attached by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller, Kass reflects on how anxious, avoidant, and secure attachment styles shape the way we love and connect.

    From her long-term “Situationship” to the patterns of grasping for love, Kass dives deep into the ways our upbringing, nervous system, and unhealed trauma influence how we show up in relationships. She shares personal stories of loss, heartbreak, and reactivity — and how those moments revealed her deepest needs: loyalty, respect, vulnerability, communication, and honesty.

    Through the lens of core values and love languages, Kass highlights how unmet needs can lead to grasping, shutting down, or lashing out — and how awareness creates space for healing. She explores the hard truths of loving someone avoidant while being anxiously attached, and the powerful choice to stop chasing love and instead choose yourself.

    This episode isn’t just about theory — it’s about lived experience. Kass invites listeners to journal on their own values, reflect on their attachment style, and consider where they may be waiting for someone else to choose them instead of stepping into self-worth.

    ✨ Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

    • The three main attachment styles (anxious, avoidant, secure) and how they show up in love.
    • Why your core values and love languages are essential in building healthy connections.
    • How childhood wounds and upbringing create the foundation for adult relationships.
    • The importance of choosing yourself — and why it’s not selfish, it’s sacred.
    • Practical reflection prompts to begin your own journey of healing.

    Whether you’re healing from a situationship, breaking patterns of anxious attachment, or simply learning to honor your own values, this episode will remind you that you’re not too much, your needs are valid, and you are worthy of love that aligns with who you truly are.

    👉 Tune in, grab your journal, and explore what it means to stop grasping and start choosing yourself.

  • From Eviction to Awakening: My Raw Return to the Mic

    After nearly a year away, Kass returns to The Vulnerability Project Podcast with raw honesty, sharing why she’s been gone and the life-altering events that shaped her absence. She opens up about the intense personal, emotional, and spiritual journey she’s been on since her last episode on Halloween, when she declared that “Medusa was stepping out” and fully embraced her Kundalini awakening — even marking it with a symbolic chest tattoo.

    Over the past year, Kass navigated a whirlwind of change: the heartbreak of rehoming her dog, an eviction triggered by a friend’s actions, legal battles, the grief of losing her male best friend unexpectedly, and the emotional toll of back-to-back losses — nine deaths since 2018. She reflects on the compounded grief, the depression that followed, and how survival mode from her past in foster care resurfaced during these transitions.

    Through it all, she’s found lessons in boundaries, letting go of relationships that hinder growth, embracing the unpredictable flow of life, and deepening self-awareness. She candidly discusses how grief can be scheduled, anger is often tied to sadness, and shadow work can show up through close relationships.

    Now, feeling grounded again, Kass is diving back into coaching, somatic work, and upcoming episodes — including one on attachment styles, a recurring theme with her clients. She leaves listeners with a reminder: it’s okay to fall apart, as long as you rise again, and to take ownership of your part in life’s challenges.

    This is a comeback steeped in vulnerability, resilience, and the unwavering commitment to personal growth — a powerful re-entry into the conversations that The Vulnerability Project is known for.

    Wow! It has been a year since the very first release of The Vulnerability Project Podcast. Join me on what has been happening this past year as I am interviewed by my friends, Sasha and Nandi. 

    These women have been such a support in my journey this past year. They ask me the hard stuff. You don't want to miss it!

She emphasizes the significance of self-awareness, setting boundaries, and the importance of community and support systems. The discussion also touches on the challenges of maintaining relationships, managing anger, and the importance of being true to oneself.

    This was a hard one but much needed so you can get to know me just a bit more and what I have gone through this past year.
