In this episode, Carrie sits down with relationship coach Drew Daniels to explore the anxious… avoidant dynamic and what’s really happening beneath avoidant behaviors. Drew shares his personal journey of recognizing his own fearful-avoidant patterns in marriage and the transformation that led him to help other couples understand and heal these cycles. Together, they unpack the fears, shame, and insecurity that often drive avoidance, and why these patterns can leave partners feeling confused, disconnected, and stuck.

Carrie and Drew also discuss how real healing happens when both partners develop greater awareness of their own patterns, learn to tolerate conflict, and practice vulnerability instead of protection. This conversation offers powerful insight for anyone navigating anxious-avoidant dynamics, reminding listeners that change is possible… but it happens slowly, through honesty, compassion, and the courage to show up differently.
