What if the way you lead is rooted in how you were loved? In this conversation, Dr. Carron Silva joins Anna Saucier to explore how your early attachment patterns may be shaping the way you show up in leadership today, and how greater self-awareness can transform the way you lead.
Do you sometimes wonder why you swing between overperforming and shutting down in your work or leadership? Are you tired of constantly second-guessing your decisions or avoiding conflict altogether?
If you've struggled with inconsistency, burnout, or emotional reactivity in your leadership journey, you're likely operating from old attachment patterns that were never designed to support the weight of your current responsibilities.
This episode is for anyone looking for deep insight into the connection between emotional safety and leadership effectiveness.
You'll learn:
✅ What is attachment theory, and why it matters in leadership
✅ How trauma and childhood experiences shape adult attachment patterns
✅ Signs of each attachment style in leadership and business settings
✅ How to increase emotional safety, self-awareness, and resilience
✅ Why understanding your own attachment style is a game-changer for growth
✅ Tools and mindsets for healing and shifting into secure leadership
Be prepared to walk away with a greater understanding of how your nervous system, early relationships, and patterns of emotional safety influence how you lead, and how to begin shifting toward secure, embodied leadership.
