Avoidant But Achieving: Why High-Functioning Women Keep Intimacy at Arm’s Length

So, you're the strong one. The capable one. The “I’m fine, don’t worry about me” one.

But here’s the truth no one told you: Avoidant attachment doesn’t mean you don’t want love. It means love feels like it might cost you your freedom.

In this juicy, note-folding, heart-spilling solo episode, Courtney unpacks what avoidant attachment actually looks like for high-achieving women who are thriving in business… but shutting down at home.

We dive into:

• The high-functioning habits masking your intimacy struggles (hello, overworking + emotional distance)
• Why “I’m fine” is your favourite lie
• The real reason your nervous system craves independence over intimacy
• How avoidant attachment shows up in the bedroom (and why it’s not about low libido)
• Courtney’s proven method for building connection without feeling engulfed
• Why Afterglow™ is the container for unlearning performance-based love without losing your edge

If you’ve ever ghosted mid-conflict (emotionally or literally), felt guilty for needing space, or hate being vulnerable unless it’s on your terms—this one is for you.

✨ Bonus Nugget: Healing avoidant attachment isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about learning to stay—present, soft, powerful—even when it gets uncomfortable.
