Romantic Relationships & The Illusion of Being Chosen: From Performance & Projection to Authentic Connection | The Attachment & Identity Series
Ep. 38
In this episode, we’re pulling back the veil on romantic relationships — not just as sources of connection, but as mirrors, teachers, and catalysts for growth.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re chasing love by performing, striving, or molding yourself into what you think someone wants — this one’s for you.
I share stories, insights, and powerful questions to help you return to inner alignment—so you can create conscious, spiritually grounded connection with yourself and others.
✨ Topics Include:
How early attachment wounds shape adult relationships
The myth of romantic rescue
How unmet childhood needs shape adult partnership patterns
Codependency, self-betrayal, and the magnetic pull of trauma bonds
Self-attunement, spiritual individuation, and healing projection
Relationship as sacred mirror and opportunity
Reclaiming identity through self-attunement, presence & spiritual connection
💭 Journal Prompts:
Where have I outsourced my identity to another?
Where am I seeking validation instead of truth?
What is one small way I can support myself in love today?
You were never meant to perform for love.
This is your invitation to come home to yourself — and create relationships that reflect that truth.
