Attachment Styles Round Table | Healed Vs. Unhealed

As Katrina moves through her divorce, things are coming up for her as she steps into a role as a breadwinner.

How is she keeping a positive mindset with so much financial uncertainty moving forward?

What are her worries going from a stay-at-home mom with a side job to a full-on supporter of herself and the children?

How have Barry and Katrina adjusted their spending habits during months when money is a bit tight?

Please head over to Instagram @TheSiblingTrap and share your opinions. 
Are you a breadwinner? What are the worries you've had or obstacles you face in your scenario?

What is the best etiquette while navigating divorce with kids?
How should the dynamic with extended family or in-laws change?

Katrina shares her current struggle with this and gives insight into what she expects moving forward while helping others understand how a family could support moms through this hard chapter.

Sharing about this on the podcast is difficult, but we created this space to have the hard conversations to connect as a community and understand different perspectives.

Barry shares a bit about his recent breakup and what he's learned through that experience. 

What if you meet someone incredible and makes you feel so happy, but can't physically be in the same place as them because of distance?

Life is full of ups and downs, but we are thrilled to be on this ride together (and with you!).

We want to hear about your stance on these topics.
Head over to @TheSiblingTrap on Instagram and share your opinions.

What does it feel like when you're finally in a secure relationship?

Was there an invisible string tying you to each other all along?

It's so fascinating seeing how there were moments where things ALMOST happened that would have brought two people together earlier.

What if your soulmate is already in your life, but you've been all in on other relationships, preventing you from entertaining what could be possible with someone else.

We also touch on an activity that you can implement consistently as a couple to strengthen your relationship.

We'd love to hear your thoughts! Comment below or DM us on insta @TheSiblingTrap 

Will you know when you meet your soulmate?

Is it possible to move too fast when you DO meet them?

Do you feel it's more natural to go fast in relationships as an adult when you feel a once-in-a-lifetime connection?

It seems we never know what's around the corner for us or what the universe has in store for us.

If you're in the thick of it, please keep going.
Please keep holding onto hope.

We want to know your feedback! Head over to IG @TheSiblingTrap and share your thoughts with us. 

In today's episode, Katrina and Barry sit down and discuss the sacrifices men are making to have a successful career.

The pressure that society is under to have a well-paying job is costing us in a variety of ways.

What type of time, social, financial, and mental sacrifices are you willing to make in order to feel comfortable?

Would love to hear your takeaways!

This is part TWO of our guest session discussing the attachment styles.

You all loved when we touched on the attachment styles earlier this season, and we put out an open offer for anyone who had a secure attachment style to come and join us in a conversation.

How are we showing up in our relationships?
What patterns do we have that maybe aren't the healthiest?
How willing are we to be vulnerable with a partner?
Do we push people away when we are angry at them?

We go in DEEP today.
How does each of us answer the question?
We had some fun banter here that you're going to love.
BONUS points for anyone who watches the episode on YouTube.
The side eyes and faces of judgment were totally spot on.

We have our first guest on the podcast today!

Well, today is that day.
Today's episode is part one of TWO.
YES. We had such a juicy conversation that it was over 2 hours long!
So be sure to come back next week for the second part.

There's also been a big twist of events that none of us were expecting that will make this conversation even more entertaining.

And massive thanks to Elizabeth for joining us for the conversation.
It takes big courage to come on and share so vulnerably.
We are indebted to you.

Also, if you're interested in taking the quiz that we took to see which attachment style you are, you can find that linked below:

Have you ever wished your partner was more supportive of your personal growth?

Are they leading the standing ovation when you win, or watching you struggle from the sidelines?

Often times we dilute ourselves or become chameleons for the people we think we want in our romantic relationships, without ever looking at the qualities we seek in a companion. 

“You cannot mess up what’s meant for you, and you cannot fix what isn’t meant for you” is an empowering quote we all should learn to trust. 

In this episode, Katrina and Barry reflect on a few qualities they seek in a romantic partner and also share their experiences recognizing what is and isn’t meant to persist in their lives.

Barry ran his first marathon!
He shares a bit about his experience of running 26.2 miles with his best friend in Houston, Texas.

It's also the season of depression flare-ups, and we learn about post-marathon blues.

How can you nurture your mind, body, and soul in a dark time?
 What are tangible action steps you can implement daily when life feels impossible?
 
 Along with the things that we do to help care for ourselves, we also touch on what to avoid when you are feeling depressed.
 
 It's all about creating self-awareness so you can avoid falling back into old habits that didn’t serve you.

Dive in on this episode and enjoy our sibling conversation.

We'd love to hear how YOU care for yourself in dark days.
