142. Why Your First Secure Relationship Is The Hardest

Welcome to the very first “official” episode of Confessions of a Lover Girl, a new series presented by The Mind-Full Method Podcast with Jiordana Saade. If you didn’t catch last week’s “unofficial” first episode, we highly recommend it — it might even bring more understanding to this week’s topic!

In this heartfelt debut, Jiordana explores why your first secure relationship might actually feel like the hardest—even when everything seems right. If you’ve ever found yourself questioning or even sabotaging something good, you’re not alone. Attachment wounds, especially from anxious attachment styles, can deeply affect how we receive love and stability.

In this episode, Jiordana shares personal stories and professional insight to help you understand:

  • Why secure relationships can trigger anxiety in the beginning
  • How anxious attachment can cause you to self-sabotage
  • What a truly secure relationship should feel like
  • Why the right person will always make space for your fears—even the ones that feel “crazy”
  • The role of divine timing and readiness when it comes to love

This is your permission slip to feel what you feel, and to embrace a love that’s safe, steady, and real.
