Why do we cling to relationships, jobs, and situations long after they’ve stopped serving us? In this episode, we break down the psychology of attachment and why we confuse familiarity with safety. You’ll learn how your brain tricks you into holding on, why your story keeps you stuck, and what it really costs you when you can’t let go. This isn’t just about romantic breakups; it’s about friendships, careers, identities, and anything you’ve outgrown.

One of the biggest fears we have, whether conscious or not, is that we are inadequate. it’s that we aren’t seen or liked, and for most of us, that either makes us severely depressed or makes us fight to be seen in places like people pleasing or needing to be wanted
