Ep.105/ How Avoidance Sabotaged My Dating Life and What I Did About It With Lexi Stout (Client Stories)
LISTEN HERE
Have you ever found yourself stuck in a loop of situationships—craving real connection, but feeling held back when it comes to being authentic and expressing what you truly feel and need?
You become so afraid of losing what you have, so instead, you “play it cool” and go with the flow…only to end up right back where you started, receiving half-hearted love that leaves you unfulfilled.
You are not alone!
And today’s episode might feel like a mirror.
This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Lexi Stout—a former coaching client who gets real about what it’s like to move from avoidant patterns into more secure, fulfilling relationships.
Lexi shares her personal journey of recognizing how her avoidant attachment style was quietly sabotaging her dating life and what she’s done to break free from those patterns.
We talk about:
-How avoidant attachment kept her stuck in unfulfilling situationships
-Learning how to open her heart and actually receive love
-Letting go of hyper-independence and learning to accept support
-Confronting her avoidance and becoming more assertive in communication
-Navigating her first mature, secure relationship with confidence and clarity
If you’ve ever felt disconnected, confused by your own reactions, or unsure how to move from self-protection to connection, this episode is for you.
