In this episode of The Life Lived Better Podcast, Joseph and Paula dive into the fascinating world of attachment styles and explore how the patterns we learned early in life shape the way we connect, communicate, and build relationships today. Join us as we break down the four major attachment styles—secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized—and discuss what each one looks like in adulthood.

The co-hosts will talk through how these styles develop, the common traits associated with each, and the subtle ways they show up in modern relationships. You’ll also learn how to identify your own attachment style, the physical and emotional cues to look for, and practical steps you can take to move toward a more secure, grounded way of relating.

Whether you’re curious about your patterns, navigating a relationship dynamic, or simply exploring personal growth, this episode offers insight, clarity, and empowering tools. Tune in to deepen your understanding of yourself and the people you love.
