Emotional Safety Explained: People Pleasing, Codependency, Childhood Trauma, Emotional Triggers [HEALING SERIES]
Do you find yourself tiptoeing around conflict, hiding your true feelings, or feeling anxious about how others will react?
In this episode of The Love Your Life Show, I sit down with Tarah Kerwin, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and co-founder of Relationship Renovation, to explore emotional safety. If you’ve never considered emotional safety before, you’re not alone—and it might be the missing piece to feeling truly secure and connected in your relationships. With your husband, with your teens or adult children, with your friends, etc.
We dive into:
What emotional safety really means and why it’s crucial for healthy, loving relationships
Signs that you don’t feel emotionally safe (and why that might be causing anxiety and resentment)
How unresolved childhood wounds can make emotional safety feel impossible
Simple, actionable steps to create emotional safety—even if your partner isn’t on board yet
Why people-pleasing and codependency keep you stuck in unsafe dynamics—and how to break free
If you’ve ever felt like you’re losing yourself in relationships, or if you’re exhausted from constantly trying to keep the peace, this episode is for you. Join us as we uncover how emotional safety can help you feel secure, authentic, and truly connected.
Listen now and take the first step toward feeling calmer (and emotionally safe!)

How to Avoid a Panic Attack [ANXIETY SERIES]
Anxiety is at an all time high – whether it’s our polarizing political climate, our actual climate 🔥, our teen’s anxiety, or any number of other factors in your life, we’re feeling it!
And while anxiety itself isn’t a signal that something is wrong with your or your teen, when it turns more into panic, it gets unmanageable.
Well, I’ve been there. I’ve had my share of panic attacks and helped teens with theirs. Today I offer help for when we are feeling panicky, either on the verge of our own panic attack or we’re freaking out because our teen or young adult is anxious or having panic attacks.
In this week’s Love Your Life Show, I’m sharing three simple, powerful steps to help you manage anxiety before it spirals into a panic attack. These tools aren’t just for emergencies—they’re skills you can use every day to feel more grounded, calm, and in control.
I really hope you’ll listen in. As I said, I’ve been there so know how life-changing these steps can be.

Teens, Self-Talk, and Confidence: Parenting Tips for Moms
Hey Warriors! In this episode of the Love Your Life Show, I’m diving into something so many of us struggle with: how to truly support the anxious people in our lives—whether it’s your teen, young adult, or even your partner.
It’s easy to fall into habits of fixing, dismissing, or saying things we think are helpful but actually fuel their inner critic or inner rebel. I’m sharing how we can instead strengthen their inner coach, the voice that builds resilience and confidence, while staying calm and grounded ourselves.
If you’ve ever wondered how to help someone you love without taking on their anxiety, this episode is for you.

Midlife Sexuality: You’re Not Broken
This week on the Love Your Life Show, Midlife Intimacy Expert Dr. Jenn and I answer your questions on sexuality and desire. Questions like:
“What do we do if we haven’t had sex in weeks, months, or even years?”
“How can I share my sexual needs with my partner without causing hurt feelings?”
We also explore how the messages we got about our own sexuality may still be affecting us (they’re affecting me!!!)
Messages like:
→ Be desirable but don’t desire;
→ Be attractive and sexy but not openly so;
→ Be open and accommodating but not “loose” or “overly flirty”.
We also talk about:
🔥 Why desire dips and how to reignite that spark!
🔥 Navigating those “oh-so-fun” hormonal shifts (hot flashes, anyone? 😅)
🔥 Rekindling intimacy even if it’s been a while…
This episode is packed with actionable tips and honest conversations to help you feel more confident and connected in your body and your relationship. ❤️
