Episode 6: Why Ambitious Women Struggle in Love
Why Ambitious Women Struggle in Love (It's Not What You Think)
WE CHAT ABOUT:
- Why so many high-achieving women feel starved for intimacy
- How your nervous system may be keeping love at arm’s length
- The patterns that block us from the very connection we crave
- Why emotional unavailability feels “safer” than being truly seen
- How to stop waiting for someone else to unlock your heart
- The truth about attraction—and how to shift it to serve your growth
SUPER SOUL TAKEAWAYS:
- Intimacy doesn’t start in relationship—it starts in your own body
- We attract at the level of intimacy we’ve created with ourselves
- Nervous system work isn’t just breathing—it’s expanding your capacity to feel
- Your vulnerability is not a weakness—it’s your superpower
- When you stop outsourcing your enoughness, you become magnetic
SOUL WORK / REAL TALK:
- Notice where you’re withholding parts of yourself in relationships
- Ask: “What am I waiting for before I let myself be fully seen?”
- Reflect on the childhood stories you’ve carried into your adult love life
- Get honest about where you’re self-abandoning in order to feel “safe”
- Feel into what true self-honoring would look like in your love life
WE ALSO TOUCH ON:
- Why many high performers attract emotionally unavailable partners
- The Princess vs. Queen dynamic and how it plays out in love
- The sneaky ways we wait for others to give us permission to show up fully
- How trauma patterns create attraction templates—and how to rewire them
- The difference between understanding your patterns and embodying the shift
