Healing the Past: From Anxious Attachment to a Secure Love (Including Therapist Insights)

In this powerful episode, Jennifer Lehr, LMFT, speaks with Wynn Austin — founder of Wynn's Kitchen — about her journey from a difficult childhood and painful divorce to finding a deeply secure, loving relationship.

Wynn shares how her early attachment style influenced her relationships and how, through self-reflection, therapy, and intentional growth, she began to transform her patterns.

Together, they explore the role of emotional healing, conscious communication, and nervous system safety in building lasting love. As Wynn prepares to enter a new marriage, she reflects on how true partnership requires not only choosing the right person — but also becoming the version of ourselves who can fully receive that love.
