Are You Emotionally Available?
Emotional availability is the foundation of secure connection. If you're wondering whether you're truly showing up for your partner, here are five ways to deepen emotional presence and intimacy.

Both avoidant and anxious partners block emotional intimacy in unique but equally intense ways. By understanding these dynamics, couples can begin to break the negative cycle and build a more secure, emotionally connected relationship.
How Do Attachment Wounds Get in the Way of Closeness?
Attachment wounds, caused by breaches of trust and ongoing harmful behaviors, can block vulnerability and connection. Discover how to recognize and heal these wounds to strengthen your relationship.
In this session, Julie explores the often unspoken question: Am I carrying too much of the emotional weight in my relationship? She breaks down what emotional work really means—offering support, creating space for connection, showing vulnerability—and helps you identify when it starts to feel one-sided or unsustainable.
Julie guides you through why these patterns develop, what they might be protecting, and how to begin shifting out of them. Whether you tend to over-function or struggle to engage emotionally, this conversation offers a clear, grounded path toward more balance, clarity, and connection.
