Friendship. As adults – particularly as working mummabears – friendships can be tricky. Do you get anxious when you don’t hear back from a friend, or worry about what you said? Or do you shut people out, without a discussion? You may have a tendency toward an anxious or avoidant attachment style, depending on the situation. We all get off the beam from time to time! In this episode of “Coaching and a Cup of Tea with Mummabear,” Master Certified Life Coach Melissa Wiggins dives deep into Attachment Theory – what it is, and how it affects our friendships. Have you thought about what kind of friend are you? What kind of friend do you want to be…or what kind do you want to have? When we are conscious of how we are showing up and how we want to show up, then we can change. Grab a cuppa and listen in.

Hello, lassies and lads, welcome to Coaching and a Cup of tea with Mummabear. I actually really do have my tea. And I'm drinking today chamomile and peppermint out of my cup from Harrods. Delicious. Okay, so this episode is titled attachment theory and why it's impacting your friendships. So you're gonna want to listen to this episode, if you are someone who has friendships in your life, there are maybe some parts of friendship for you that are a little challenging. We're gonna get into if you're the type of person who gets really anxious when someone doesn't respond to a text, or are you the type of frame to when someone asks you to lunch, you're all about where they want to go to lunch and what they want to eat. And we're going to get into why there is this relationship between attachment theory and how you're acting in friendship.
Okay, so attachment theory is basically having its moment and fame right now it is having what I like to call its five second sub theme, it really is being talked about, it feels like by everyone. What is attachment theory? So if you just go on to Google right now, last season, you check, like what is attachment theory? It talks a lot about the emotional bond between like a parent and a child and early ages. What is happening now is there are these incredible researchers, doctors, psychologists, therapists, life coaches who are out there talking about, hey, this isn't just impactful in that scenario, this is in relationships. This is how I not just with my parents, with my spouse, and now which what we're going to talk about as heaviness is really being and my friendships.
Now, I am an empowerment coach, I work primarily with mom, entrepreneurs, friendships, for mom, entrepreneurs, can be challenging. And so it has came up with a lot of my clients recently, which is why I started to just dive into the complexities of friendship. Now, last episode, I got very vulnerable about my own challenges with friendship, because I not only want to show the other side of me, the struggling side of me, I feel like I am like the queen of optimism, right?Â
