Episode 61
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Do you or your partner hold back emotions out of fear of getting hurt or feeling drained? This episode unpacks emotional hoarding—when love is rationed like a limited resource, creating distance instead of connection.
Learn how fear of scarcity and loss fuels emotional avoidance, why anxious and avoidant partners get stuck in a push-pull cycle, and how to shift from emotional scarcity to abundance.
Listen now to break free from fear and build deeper, more secure love!
