Imani directs us back to childhood as the starting point, teaches us the core issues anxious attachers struggle with, and the antidote to shame.
She redefines love for us, and invites us to stretch into the acceptance that someone can deeply love you and hurt you in moments, but the repair needs to have more bandwidth than that hurt.

In this episode: Vanessa and I explore what happens when you disconnect from your truth in an effort to solve for safety.
How being told you’re too sensitive, while simultaneously being praised for your strength at a young age, shapes a prescribed life, a lonely life.
We explore how shame gets buried underneath perfectionism, and how the reclamation of needs, particularly rest and play, open a door to liberation.
We expand on what it means to hold space for another, and how it begins with holding space for all of our parts. In the space of curiosity and self inquiry, you learn who you really are.
Vanessa shares that to discover your truth, is to connect with Source and return to love. Instead of solving for safety, learn how to solve for truth.

“Avoidant people don't believe that they can find love. Or they're unsure, so what they do is they run away from it. But anxious people take on the battle. They keep trying. When they find someone they think they are the one, they often become quite obsessed because they are afraid to be alone.” - David Chambers
"Intimacy is about closeness. It's being seen at really deep levels. It's allowing someone to really see the deepest parts of your soul and who you are beyond the garbage, beyond the body.”
