  • In the final episode of my 3-part attachment series, we’re diving into what secure attachment actually looks and feels like — and why, if you’ve experienced insecure relationships, it might feel unfamiliar or even “boring” at first.

    We explore the key traits of securely attached people — how they communicate, navigate intimacy, handle conflict, and show up in emotionally grounded ways. I also talk about how secure partners can feel confronting to those who are anxiously or avoidantly attached, and why calm, consistent love can feel like a red flag when your nervous system is used to chaos.

    Whether you’re trying to understand secure love for the first time, or you’re working on becoming more securely attached yourself, this episode will help you reflect on what real emotional safety looks like in relationships — and how you can begin to create it.

    In this episode, we cover:

    Why secure can feel “boring” to the anxious or avoidant The key behaviours and mindsets of securely attached people What secure communication really looks like (hint: no games, no chasing) How secure people respond to conflict, space, and vulnerability What it feels like to be in a relationship with someone secure How to move toward secure attachment — even if it’s not your starting point

  • Are you constantly worried your partner might leave? Do you replay texts, second-guess your worth, or feel like you love harder than others? If so, this episode is for you.

    This week on Breakup to Blessing, we’re diving deep into anxious attachment — what it looks like, where it comes from, and how it quietly shapes the way you connect with others. I unpack the core fears that drive anxious patterns, including the fear of abandonment, overthinking, people-pleasing, and the need for constant reassurance.

    I also explore:

    How anxious attachment develops from early relationship experiences The anxious/avoidant dynamic — and why it feels so magnetic yet painful What an anxious/anxious cycle can look like The subtle but powerful ways anxious attachment shows up in dating and long-term relationships And most importantly: how to start healing from the inside out

    I’m not giving you cookie-cutter advice — I’m sharing deeper, longer-lasting strategies to build emotional safety within yourself, stop over-functioning in relationships, and move toward secure, grounded love.

    Whether you’re single, dating, or in a relationship — understanding your attachment style is one of the most transformational things you can do for yourself and your future connections.

  • Have you ever found yourself stuck in the same relationship patterns, even when you know better? Or wondered why certain triggers in love feel so intense—like you’re reliving something old?

    In this episode, I explore how unresolved past experiences—especially from childhood and previous relationships—can quietly shape the way we show up in love. From emotional triggers to attachment styles, I unpack the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways our past can get in the way of building safe, fulfilling connections.

    We’ll talk about:

    The hidden patterns that often go unnoticed Why your nervous system reacts the way it does in relationships Common signs your past might be running the show How to begin breaking free from protective behaviours that no longer serve you

    This is a reflective, gentle, and honest conversation that invites you to look inward with compassion—not criticism. Whether you’re single, dating, in a relationship, or navigating healing after a breakup, this episode offers insight and hope.

    🗝 Key Takeaways:

    Our earliest relationships shape how we relate, connect, and protect ourselves Emotional triggers in relationships often point to old wounds—not just current problems People-pleasing, avoidance, or hyper-independence are often protective responses Healing is possible through awareness, self-compassion, and safer relationships

    💬 Journal Prompts or Reflection Questions:

    What relationship patterns do I keep repeating? When do I feel most emotionally reactive in love—and what might that be connected to? What would it look like to show up as my authentic self in a relationship?

  • What happens when the life you planned doesn't unfold the way you imagined? Maybe you're not where you thought you'd be by now. Maybe a breakup, job change, or unexpected twist has thrown your story off track.

    In this episode, we explore the pressure of sticking to life "scripts"—the timelines and plans we think we should follow—and what happens when reality doesn’t match the plan. I share a personal story about how letting go of a rigid idea opened the door to something even better. You'll also hear why clinging to old plans can keep you stuck, and how making space for change can actually lead to more alignment, freedom, and joy.

    Whether you're grieving a path that didn’t unfold or you're feeling stuck because your life looks different than you imagined, this episode is here to remind you that your worth isn’t tied to a timeline—and that sometimes, the best stories come from the plot twists we never saw coming.

    In this episode, we cover:

    Why we cling to life plans—and how that can hold us back What to do when your path changes unexpectedly The importance of checking in with old dreams and seeing if they still fit A reframe for those moments when you feel like you're "behind" How the “wrong” turn can lead you exactly where you need to be

  • In this episode of Breakup to Blessing, Sylvia dives deep into the patterns behind how we make decisions in our relationships — whether it’s choosing who to date, who to commit to, or even why we stay in relationships longer than we should. Are we being led by logic, or are our emotions quietly in control? Sylvia explains how we often create logical stories to justify emotional decisions, and she helps listeners uncover the hidden patterns that may be guiding them.

    Key Topics Covered:

    Logical Stories vs. Emotional Truths: How we convince ourselves our choices are logical when they’re actually driven by fear, insecurity, or unmet needs.

    Identifying Hidden Patterns: Understanding why you may be drawn to similar types of partners, even when they seem different on the surface.

    Attachment and Early Influences: How the emotional patterns formed in childhood with caregivers can impact your relationship choices in adulthood, as explained by Andrew Huberman.

    Recognising Your Own Patterns: A reflective exercise to help you identify your decision-making triggers — is it logic, emotion, or fear?

    Real-Life Example: The story of a woman who thought she was dating different types of men but realized they all had one thing in common — an inability to provide emotional connection.

    Making Healthier Decisions: How to challenge the stories you tell yourself and start making relationship choices that are genuinely aligned with your goals and values.

  • In this episode, we’re talking about how to grieve your heartbreak in a way that actually helps you heal—not keeps you stuck.

    So many of us unknowingly make heartbreak harder by spiraling into painful thoughts and self-blame. We wonder if our ex still thinks about us, obsess over what went wrong, and tell ourselves stories that deepen our pain. But healing doesn't happen in the “what ifs” and “if onlys”—it happens when we come back to us.

    We’ll explore:

    Why your brain becomes addicted to the emotional intensity of heartbreak The sneaky ways your thoughts keep you stuck in suffering How to interrupt negative thought loops and rewire your brain for peace Why choosing yourself—again and again—is the most powerful decision you can make Practical steps to let go with self-respect and intention How to create a healing container for your own growth and self-love

    And if you’re ready for deeper guidance, my Breakup to Blessing program takes you step-by-step through this process with tools, support, and heart-centered coaching to help you move from heartbreak to healing—and into a life you love again.

  • In today’s episode, we’re diving deeper into a question I shared with you in last week’s episode: “What parts of me are asking to be healed?”
    If you’ve ever found yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships—over-giving, avoiding conflict, falling too fast, trying to fix others, or keeping people at a distance—this episode is for you. I’ll walk you through five common ways our unhealed parts can show up in love, and I’ll invite you to reflect with some powerful questions to help you get closer to the root of these behaviours.

    This one’s tender, honest, and deeply validating. It’s not about blame—it’s about self-understanding, self-compassion, and slowly rewriting the stories that no longer serve us.

    💬 In This Episode We Explore:

    The Over-Giver: Why you might feel like you always have to earn love The Conflict Avoider: How silence became your way of staying safe The One Who Falls Fast: The deeper need underneath the intensity The Fixer: When love becomes entangled with responsibility The Distant One: How emotional self-protection can quietly sabotage intimacy Reflective questions to help you meet these parts of yourself with curiosity, not judgment What healing looks like in each of these patterns

    📝 Reflective Journal Prompts:

    What role do I most identify with in relationships—and why? What part of me is trying to feel seen, safe, or worthy through this role? What would it look like to offer myself the love I’m trying to earn from others?

This episode explores how to make sense of this news and how to handle the aftermath.

    Why this news often feels like it came out of nowhere. The key questions to ask yourself to heal, grow, and let go—without falling into the trap of self-blame or spiraling into negativity. How to reflect on the reality of your relationship beyond your idealized version of it. Why it’s important to look at patterns in your relationships and how you show up in them.

    Last week, we talked about second chances in relationships—what it takes to make things work the second time around. But what if getting back together isn’t an option or isn’t what you want? That’s exactly what we’re diving into today.

    This episode is all about the inner work you can do now, while you're single, to grow into the person you want to be in your future relationships. Because even if there’s no hope for a second chance with your ex, the work you do on yourself today is what sets the foundation for a healthier, more fulfilling relationship down the road.

    We'll cover:
    How to reflect on past mistakes without getting stuck in regret
    Why insight alone isnt enoughand what real growth requires
    How to practice new relationship skills before you're in a relationship
    The power of letting go of your past identity so you can create a better future

    If you’ve ever felt frustrated that you’re repeating old patterns despite all the growth you’ve done, this episode is for you. True change happens when you integrate what you've learned into your everyday life—not just in theory, but in practice.

  • In this episode of Breakup to Blessing, we dive deep into the topic of second chances in relationships. Whether you’re the one asking for a second chance or you're on the receiving end, there’s an important truth to remember: a second chance only works if something actually changes.

    Insight alone won’t change behavior. Real change happens when you become someone who can show up differently, especially when it comes to handling conflict and emotional regulation.

    We explore how emotional reactivity can escalate situations and why learning to pause, regulate, and communicate effectively can transform your relationships. You’ll also hear about the importance of self-awareness, choosing your battles wisely, and understanding when an argument is about connection vs. control.

    If you’re hoping for a second chance or thinking about giving one, this episode is full of tools and insights to help you make sure it leads to real transformation, not just repeating old patterns.

    Key Takeaways:

    Why insight alone isn't enough to create change in a relationship. How emotional regulation and self-awareness play a key role in avoiding conflicts. The importance of pausing and reflecting before reacting in moments of tension. Choosing your battles wisely: how to assess whether an argument is worth having. The essential relationship skills of self-regulation, accountability, and emotional intelligence.

  • In today’s episode of Breakup to Blessing, I’m addressing a question submitted by someone who recently ended a 3-year relationship and is feeling lost and lonely. I also want to extend this conversation to anyone currently in a relationship and feeling disconnected from themselves. It’s common to prioritise others—partners, families, children—and forget what makes us come alive. If that resonates with you, this episode is for you.

    We’ll explore how to reconnect with yourself after a breakup or in the midst of a relationship where you’ve lost touch with your individual needs and desires. This episode will help you rediscover what makes you feel truly alive, so that you can reestablish a strong connection with yourself and start living authentically again.

    In this episode, we dive into:

    Reframing the question from “finding yourself” to “reconnecting with yourself.” Why it's important to revisit your past to rediscover what brought you joy before the relationship. How to identify the things that made you feel most connected to yourself, and how to bring those feelings back into your life today. Practical examples of how to reconnect with activities and passions that made you feel alive. Overcoming the challenge of putting yourself first when you’ve spent years prioritizing others.

    If you’re navigating a breakup or simply realising it’s time to focus on yourself again, this episode will offer insights and actionable steps to help you on your journey. You don’t need permission to prioritise your own happiness—you’re worthy of it!

  • Hey everyone! Welcome back to Breakup to Blessing. In this episode, I dive into a powerful idea: "You are one decision away from a completely different life."

    I share two defining moments that shifted my perspective after my divorce and how I realized that I had the power to shape my future. We often live on autopilot, following the path we think we're supposed to take—until something disrupts it. But what if, instead of seeking comfort in the familiar, we embraced the unknown and created a future we actually want?

    In this episode, we explore:
    ✨ How to stop living on autopilot
    ✨ The trap of seeking comfort instead of growth
    ✨ The power of a single decision to reshape your life
    ✨ A thought-provoking question that changed my entire outlook

    I'd love to hear from you! What’s the one decision you're making today? DM me on Instagram @sylviasuwan or email me [email protected]
