This week we sit down with Miriam Adler- a relationship therapist, facilitator, and founder of La Luna. Through her work, she guides people back into deeper connection with themselves, their bodies, their emotions, and their relationships.
In this episode we talk about love, attachment styles, communication and what it actually takes to create healthy relationships. We talk about why so many of us keep repeating the same patterns in love, how childhood experiences shape the way we connect with others, and why relationships often trigger our deepest wounds.
Together we explore anxious and avoidant attachment styles, nervous system regulation, boundaries, polarity, feminine and masculine dynamics, and how to communicate what we need without blame, resentment or shutting down. We also dive into what safety really means in relationships, why so many people struggle to receive love, and how couples can move from defensiveness and misunderstanding into genuine connection and intimacy.
This is one of those conversations that will likely have you reflecting on your past relationships, your current relationship, and the ways you show up in love.
If you've ever found yourself wondering:
