If you don't already know, your attachment style, which is basically how you relate to others in your close relationships, falls into one of four categories: secure, anxious, avoidant (sometimes known as dismissive-avoidant), and disorganized (also known as fearful-avoidant).

Today, we’ll focus on romantic relationships with someone with an avoidant attachment style — a discomfort with emotional closeness, a deep need for independence, and a reluctance to rely on others. Having a relationship with someone with this attachment style has some unique challenges.

Thank you, Jim Healey, for being so honest and open!

Happy Dating!

We're back and better than ever- after our one year breakup, that is!

Today's episode features my all-time favorite guest, Jim Healey, my best friend and partner for the last eight years.

We will delve into our entire story, including what's beyond the pages of my book, Midlife Priceless, and leave no topic untouched. In this episode, we're plunging into a subject many of you have been asking about navigating the path of rekindling a relationship with your ex the right way!

It's been some time since I last recorded an episode, and Jim and I haven't spoken on my show in over a year. Our discussion was nerve-wracking and emotional as we shared our personal lives. But, we recognize that our conversation may help those experiencing relationship struggles. We're excited to share this with you!

This episode generated a lot of buzz among my listeners back in January, so why not re-air it?

Today on Doing Relationships Right, Jim Healey is back, and we're talking about "Living Apart Together" - an old trend that's getting more popular. It's something we've been doing since we met in 2017! It's been good for us, but could it work for you? Listen to our chat to hear the upsides and downsides. It's important to do what's right for your relationship. Scientific evidence suggests that living apart could really strengthen a long-term relationship.

Are you great partners but terrible roommates?

You two make a great team, but do you have different ideas about what success means?

Is it essential to you NOT to blend families?

A successful connection means different things to different people, as gender roles, parenthood, and cultural background all play a role in relationships. What was once a deal breaker may now be an opportunity to adapt to modern society. We are here to destigmatize the negativity of going against the "norm."

Have any questions for us? Please feel free to DM me- remember, it's okay to try different ways of doing things! Read more about The Unblended Family, Nesting, and Living Apart Together in my books- One Happy Divorce, Woulda. Coulda. Shoulda and Midlife Priceless. You don't know what you don't know!

Happy Relationships!
