What does a secure relationship look like?

Hi friends, hi,

I hope this week treated you gently and with care. And if it didn’t, well, then I am extra glad for us that it is the weekend.

I have SUCH A TREAT for us today. I got to chat with Julie Menanno of The Secure Relationship and it was exactly what I needed. Maybe you will too. I just think it’s such a hard time to be a human in relationships. Romantic or otherwise. Everyone is feeling a little extra something—hurt, wounded, tired, daunted—in their relationships right now because of the pandemic. It is just a hard time.

Julie helps us make sense of what a “secure” relationship even means, how to turn on our inner felt experience, and why secure attachment is so foundational. If you’re not familiar with her work, go check it out here. She has a book out now!!

Now, I hope you enjoy this juicy secret that somehow manages to include Las Vegas, Sir Mix-A-Lot, her mentor, and the joy of kids laughing. At the end, we attempt to rap together. You will love it. Or hate it. In any case, I hope you laugh at us.

Sending you lots of love,

Carissa
