About this episode
Jessica explores the dynamics of anxious and avoidant relationships and how they can succeed despite common misconceptions.
Are anxious and avoidant relationships really doomed, or have we oversimplified the conversation? In this episode, Jessica explores why attachment styles alone don't determine relationship success, the difference between unhealthy and challenging relationships, and how self-awareness, communication, and growth can help anxious and avoidant partners create a healthier dynamic together. 💛 Work with Jessica 1:1 ✨ Try Jessica's Attachment Rewiring Meditations FREE for 7 Days
