If you've ever thought "I'm too much," felt shame around your jealousy, or struggled with feeling "needy" in relationships, this episode will be a relief and a revelation. Shanenn sits down with Trevor Hansen, coach and founder of The Art of Healing, to dismantle the shame loop of anxious attachment and show how it can be transformed into self-trust and secure connection.

Trevor shares his raw personal story—from toxic relationships and a broken jaw to leaving a high-powered career at Tesla—and the powerful tools he discovered to move from fear to security. This is a must-listen for anyone stuck in the cycle of over-functioning, people pleasing, or "proving" their worth in love.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:

Why awareness alone won't heal your insecure attachment
How childhood experiences can create a "love gap" that fuels jealousy
What emotional reprogramming looks like in practice
Why inner child work isn't woo-woo—it's essential
A powerful shift from controlling to compassionately curious in relationships

GOLDEN NUGGETS:

You’re not too much. It’s the behavior that needs support, not your worth.
Anxious attachment is just a part of you—not all of you.
You can turn your jealousy into a catalyst for deeper connection.
Emotional healing > intellectual awareness.
When you stop outsourcing your worth, you stop fearing abandonment.
