In this episode, Karolina (anxious) calls out Gabriel (avoidant) on a juicy and oh-so-common double standard: why do avoidants crave the benefits of commitment while running from the responsibility of it?

From love bombing to ghosting, we unpack why avoidants often look secure at first. And how the illusion starts to crack once real intimacy knocks. We dive into parental enmeshment, past relationships, perfectionism, and the emotional tug-of-war that leaves anxious partners over-giving and under-committed.

If you've ever felt like you’re building a relationship solo while your avoidant partner is off journaling in the woods about “needing space,” this one’s for you.

In this episode, we unpack the big question: What does real love actually feel like? From childhood conditioning to Hollywood myths, many of us enter relationships with distorted ideas of what love should be.

We talk about how fiction sets us up for confusion, the myth of “the One,” and why so many people confuse intensity or chaos with love. Karolina and Gabriel share personal stories of how they misread love in the past, and how their definition has changed.

We explore the true qualities of a loving relationship, how to tell if it’s real or not, and why healthy love often feels more like balance and effort than fireworks and extremes.

If you’ve ever questioned what love is supposed to feel like, this episode offers a grounded and vulnerable perspective.

In this episode, we dive into the uncomfortable truth behind breakups. It’s rarely just about timing or circumstances. We talk about the difference between the excuses people give and the deeper emotional realities that often stay buried. Karolina shares what she first believed caused her past breakups and how that changed once she faced the real reasons.

We explore why it’s so difficult to accept the truth, how denial keeps us stuck in unhealthy patterns, and why self-compassion is essential for moving forward. If you've ever felt confused after a breakup or stuck in the same relationship cycles, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.

Avoidants act like they don’t get anxious... but is that actually the case? In this video, we dig into what’s *really* going on beneath the surface when someone has an avoidant attachment style.

We explore why avoidants pretend not to worry, how anxiety can show up as doubt, and what’s happening when they keep their options open. You’ll hear how the anxious-avoidant cycle creates confusion on both sides, and what actually makes avoidants feel anxious. Even if they never admit it.

We also unpack how abandonment wounds, power dynamics, and emotional self-protection drive avoidant behavior, and why letting go can sometimes be the key to shifting everything.

Whether you’re anxious, avoidant, or somewhere in the middle, this conversation will help you understand the deeper emotional layers at play, and why it's important to stop chasing someone who’s pulling away.

Ever wondered why an avoidant would want to be with someone anxious? It might surprise you, but your anxious traits, yes, the ones you sometimes wish you didn't have, can actually be deeply attractive to avoidants.

In this episode, we explore the psychology behind avoidant-anxious relationships. We’ll answer a viewer’s question about why avoidants are drawn to anxious partners, break down the emotional push-pull dynamic, and explain why your sensitivity, emotional insight, and adaptability aren’t flaws. They’re actually strengths that avoidants often crave (even if they won’t admit it). We also talk about how anxious traits like persistence and “chasing” can be powerful when used in the right dose.

If you’re anxiously attached and confused about why your avoidant partner still seems drawn to you, this episode will help you reframe your thinking, and maybe even reclaim your power.

Think a breakup is the end of the story? Think again. In this episode, we dive into why breakups are often not as final as they seem and how human attachment has a sneaky way of keeping people emotionally tethered, even when they think they've walked away for good.

We explore how the person who initiates the breakup often holds the power to get their ex back, while the one left behind feels anxious, confused, and helpless. You'll learn why many people end relationships without being fully sure, how “soft” breakups differ from hard ones, and how attachment styles like avoidant and anxious keep both people emotionally hooked. Even in toxic dynamics, the bond can be harder to shake than anyone expects. Plus, Karolina shares raw insights from our own breakups to show just how murky things can get when attachment is involved.

If you're trying to understand your ex or wondering how to get your ex back, this episode is for you.

Last time, we shared a really personal conversation where Karolina called me out on my avoidant behaviors, the distance, the power games, all the stuff that made her feel invisible.

This time, we flipped the script.
In our latest podcast episode, I confronted Karolina about the anxious patterns that made me feel overwhelmed and trapped.

We talked about what happens when anxiety drives you to cling, over-text, and push for closeness... and why it can actually backfire when what you want most is connection.

If you are anxiously attached, this episode is a must-listen.
You will hear what anxious behaviors look like from the other side, which mistakes to avoid, and better ways to get your needs met without losing yourself.

There was a time when I was anxiously attached and Gabriel was avoidant.

Our relationship felt like a puzzle I could never solve. I was always chasing connection. He was always pulling away. I thought he just didn’t care. But now I know there was a lot more going on under the surface…

If you’ve ever wanted to call out an avoidant partner or ex, or just understand what the hell was going on in your dynamic, this conversation will probably give you some clarity and validated your feelings.

So, in our very first podcast episode, we both finally decided to sit down and talk it all out. I put Gabriel in the hot seat and grilled him on his avoidant behavior:

• Do avoidants play power games❓
• What kind of power games did you play with me❓
• Why are avoidants so afraid❓

And so much more.
