Why You Struggle to Receive (Even Though You Want Love)

In this episode, I’m talking about why receiving often feels uncomfortable — especially for women with anxious attachment — and how this survival pattern shows up in your body and your relationships.

We’ll explore:

  • Why high-functioning women resist support
  • The somatic signs you’re in survival mode
  • How childhood patterns shaped your ability to receive
  • What it really takes to let love land

And if you’re ready to shift this not just in your mind, but in your body — join me for my upcoming live workshop: Held – Letting Love In. In the Becoming Secure Membership.

In the workshop we go deep into the somatic healing needed to turn off survival mode and turn on your capacity to receive.
