If people who feel distant, hard to read, or just out of reach keep pulling you in, this episode is for you.

Not someone who is obviously unavailable.

Someone compelling.

Mysterious.

Just available enough to keep you leaning in.

If this is you:

• You mistake mixed signals for chemistry

• You keep explaining your needs better and hoping something will finally click

• You do not see the cost clearly until you are already attached

• Distance and inconsistency make you lean in harder, not less

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Lindsay C. Gibson, clinical psychologist and New York Times bestselling author of Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents.

Because sometimes the pull feels strongest

right where the information should be slowing you down.
