At the center of the book is a grounding realization:
Healing begins with awareness, and change begins with you.
AUTHOR INTERVIEW
What inspired you to write Avoidant or Anxiously Attached?
“I wrote this book because I was tired of breaking my own heart by choosing emotionally unavailable men. For years, my attachment issues and anxiety shaped not only my relationships, but every part of my life even how I showed up for my children.”
Was there a specific moment in your life that pushed you toward healing your attachment style?
“My last breakup became the catalyst that pushed me to dig deep, understand my attachment style, and start the real work of healing. This book is my way of sharing that journey, the lessons I’ve learned, and the tools that helped me.”
What message do you most want readers to take away from your book?
“My attachment issues once shaped my relationships, my life, and even my parenting. This book shares the tools and insights I used to heal—so others can break free from toxic patterns and finally feel safe in love.”
Who do you feel this book will help the most?
“It is for people who keep finding themselves drawn to emotionally unavailable partners and wondering why the same patterns keep repeating in different forms.”
What was the most challenging part of your personal healing journey?
“Looking in the mirror and realizing that I was the cause of most of my problems due to unhealed trauma.”
What does “secure love” mean to you personally?
“Secure love means feeling safe and loved unconditionally. It means being treated with respect and care.”
What advice would you give to someone struggling with anxious or avoidant attachment?
“You can break the cycle and unhealthy patterns. It takes awareness, humility, and a willingness to do the hard work of changing your beliefs about yourself. My life changed when I decided to be my own best friend and give myself the love I had been giving away to everyone else.”
What do you hope readers feel after finishing your book?
“I hope they feel heard and empowered. I hope they feel motivated to dig deeper inside themselves and heal what has hindered them for their whole life.”
What is next for you as an author?
“I’m busy promoting the books that I already have published, including my children’s book series. I am planning on publishing another healing book, but I haven’t honed in on exactly what the book will be about yet.”
