    Why Your Partner Can't Be the Adult You Need

    12/08/2026 | 45 mins.
    We spend a lot of time asking why our partners behave the way they do.
    But how often do we ask ourselves what our own childhood taught us about being an adult?
    In this episode, we explore how the lessons we learned growing up shape our relationships today - from anxious and avoidant patterns to what secure attachment actually looks like in everyday life.
    We'll talk about responsibility, boundaries, compassion, and why understanding someone's past doesn't mean you have to build your future around it.
    If you've ever wondered why the same relationship patterns keep showing up, this conversation is for you.
    I would love to hear your thoughts on this episode.

    What To Do When Partner Can't Give You What You Need

    03/08/2026 | 20 mins.
    It is frustrating when a partner can't give you what you need especially after they promised or implied they could. 
    We try to change them - or their mind. 
    We hope they can change and become the person we thought they were when we first met. 
    We struggle with the fear of the relationship ending, lashing out with hurtful words, doing things that causes more damage - and then regretting them all when we are calm. 
    This episodes walks you through what you can do before the damage is done. 
    Breathing tips as promised in this episode -
    Practice 5 minutes a day and build from there
    Focus on your breathing and learn its natural rhythm before you do anything. 
    Intentionally breathe deeply - in and out. 
    Ask your doctor about box breathing exercises and if it's right for you. This is great for calming the nervous system and helping us respond with clear intentions instead of reacting.

    How to tell the Difference Between Anxiety and Anxious Attachment

    29/06/2026 | 30 mins.
    Today I'm answering three questions I get asked constantly. And I picked these three on purpose, because they build on each other. The first one is the controversial one: can a fearful-avoidant actually have a successful relationship WITHOUT going to therapy? People want me to say no. I'm not going to say no. But I'm also not going to give you the comfortable answer.
    The second question is one almost everyone struggles with: how do I know if what I'm feeling is anxiety, or if it's a real need I should actually honor? Because those two things feel identical in your body, and most of the internet can't tell you the difference.
    And the third one is personal, and a lot of you have felt it: "I feel abandoned every single time my partner goes off to a team dinner or out with friends. How do I get over this?" We're going to take that one apart together, because the real answer isn't what you think it is.

About Decoding Attachment Styles
I talk about the push and pull and the anxious spiral that so many of us have experienced in one or more relationships. I've had my share of these experiences and I learned to heal my anxious attachment. On this podcast I share everything I know from text books, to observations and my personal research on the topic as I live and breathe it. As a kid, I got into trouble for asking why questions. It was considered rude to question an adult but I always wanted the reasoning behind what was being asked or expected me, and how the world and the people in it worked. It's helped me over the decades pick up some interesting things about people with different attachment styles. The first thing I noticed was - and this is how I imagined it - everyone got a script on how to be for their own survival. And there are four scripts - Anxious, Dismissive and Fearful avoidant, and the Secure attached. There is a particular way they behave, interact, speak, solve problems, write a text, walk, sit, eat, gain success or never do...and when you see it you won't be able to unseen it. I'm sharing everything I know and if you find this topic fascinating, or you just need to understand why your partner, parent, sibling, friend or whomever act in ways you just can't understand - welcome.
