Do you ever feel like you're too much in relationships? Like you're constantly overthinking, needing reassurance, or afraid someone might leave—even if they haven’t said a word? If that sounds familiar, you might be navigating anxious attachment. In today’s episode, Kelli and I are pulling back the curtain on this deeply emotional and often misunderstood attachment style.
We’re talking about:
💔 Why anxious attachment forms (and why it’s not your fault)
📱 What it looks like in day-to-day life: the texts, the spirals, the second-guessing
🧠 How it plays out in love, parenting, and even our walk with God
🛠️ Tools to move from anxious to anchored
💬 And the truth: your need for connection isn’t too much. It’s human.
Let’s talk about it—because when we understand the why, we start to change the how.
