This episode is brought to you by Timeline and WHOOP.

Today we sit down with licensed therapist and attachment expert Thais Gibson to break down how your attachment style, subconscious programming, and core wounds shape your relationships, performance, and daily behavior. We explore the four attachment styles (anxious, avoidant, fearful, secure), how childhood conditioning drives adult patterns, and—most importantly—how to rewire your subconscious mind using practical neuroscience-backed tools. If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, emotional disconnection, or repeating toxic relationship patterns, this conversation offers actionable strategies to build secure attachment, emotional resilience, and high performance from the inside out.
