Published On: Mon Nov 24 2025
Description: In today's episode, I'm talking about what happens when love gets tangled with ego — how even our most caring relationships can stir up fear when we're not chosen or needed in the way we expect. When Molly's best friend decides to hire a babysitter instead of asking her to stay with the kids, she's hit with a wave of hurt — and a surprising lesson about what love looks like when we stop gripping and start trusting. We'll explore how to tell the difference between attachment and love, and how softening our hold can actually deepen our connections and bring more peace to our relationships. Question to carry into your day: Where in your life might you be mistaking attachment for love — and what would it look like to open your hands, even just a little?
