This is an episode I’ve been meaning to record for a while—because it’s close to home for so many of the women I work with. And maybe even for you.

 I have witnessed the heartbreak, the confusion, the deep self-questioning it leaves behind. And I wanted to put words to what often goes unnamed—because naming it is the beginning of healing.

If you’ve ever felt swept off your feet only to crash hard later—you are not alone. And it’s not your fault.

🧠 In This Episode, You'll Learn:

💔 What Love Bombing Really Is

  • The subtle yet powerful tactics used to create instant emotional attachment
  • How it differs from genuine, grounded love

🔍 Common Signs of Love Bombing

  • Fast-paced intensity, emotional flooding, and boundary-pushing
  • The shift from adoration to distance—and why it leaves you spinning

🧬 The Science Behind the Addiction

  • The brain chemistry that makes love bombing so intoxicating (and hard to walk away from)
  • Why withdrawal from love bombing feels like heartbreak on steroids

💡 Why We Fall For It

  • The deep emotional needs love bombing temporarily fulfills
  • How childhood wounds, abandonment, or low self-worth play a role

🛠️ How to Heal & Reclaim Your Power

  • Naming what happened without shame
  • Rebuilding self-trust and regulating your nervous system
  • Steps to move forward with gentleness, clarity, and self-worth

🧘‍♀️ Gentle Truths from This Episode:

✨ You didn’t fall for it because you were foolish. You fell for it because you’re human.
 ✨ The parts of you that longed for love—deserve love. Just not this kind.
✨ Real love feels safe, mutual, and unhurried.

I’m also thinking about creating a deeper resource or workshop on this—if that’s something you'd want, let me know. You are not alone in this.

🧡 Remember:

You are not too much. You are not broken.
 You are worthy of love that doesn’t confuse, rush, or harm.
 You are allowed to take up space—and time—in love.
