In childhood, we can develop insecure attachments based on the difficult relationships we have with our caregivers and family members. Once we develop those insecure attachments, we carry them with us into adulthood, often making our adult lives and relationships harder. This can be frustrating and exhausting. Is there any hope? Can we grow? Can we heal? Can we ever experience safe, good and secure relationships with ourselves and others? Trauma research says yes. Earned Secure Attachments are new, safe, kind, compassionate, repairable relationships that help us heal from past relational damage. These relationships are a big deal and it's worth it for us to learn how to be one for others as well as to show our appreciation for those in our life who are healing us more than they know.

In this episode I have a special, funny, and meaningful conversation with one of the best friends I've ever had, Tracy Gantz. We talk about meeting as adults, how we met, how we keep our friendship going despite ever changing life and family schedules, and the beauty, goodness and depth our friendship has added to our lives. Together, through years of intentional work, we're setting new standards for the kinds of relationships we want to welcome in the future, ones built on mutuality, respect, delight, clear communication, non competitiveness, laughter, depth, safety, trust, and ultimately healing.

One of the goals I had for myself in 2026 was to learn how to have a guest on the podcast. Well, guess what? I did it! I met with three friends who let me know their tips and tricks and kindly guided me toward making this goal a reality. While my first official guest episode comes out soon, my 14 year old daughter Maddie agreed to let me practice with her. I want you to hear this short practice episode, because I want you to be a part of my whole journey, the raw beginning, the ups and downs, and the many successes and failures that are ahead. I'm considering this a success.
