Welcome back to the podcast! In today’s episode, we dive deep into the psychological roots of social anxiety and the journey toward connection and identity transformation.

Whether you’re feeling isolated in a crowd or navigating the quiet ache of loneliness, this conversation offers empathy, insight, and practical ways to begin shifting your inner narrative—one small step at a time.

Guest Spotlight:

Miranda Campbell

We’re joined by our therapist-in-residence for the month, Miranda Campbell. Miranda is a licensed trauma therapist, speaker, and co-author of the best-selling workbook Attachment Style Makeover.

Her clinical work centers around attachment-based therapy for high-functioning adults navigating burnout, boundary-setting, and identity shifts—especially those breaking generational cycles and caring for others. Miranda blends soulful strategy with deep clinical insight to help people build emotional safety and redefine connection on their own terms.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

• What social anxiety really feels like, from an attachment-based lens
• How our earliest relational wounds can shape adult fears of connection
• The power of mini-experiments in building confidence
• Why internal safety—not the absence of fear—is the foundation for change
• How the lingering fear can actually be a signal that you care
• Navigating loneliness in today’s world, from pandemic fallout to performative social media
• Responding to a powerful Reddit question from someone battling deep isolation

Key Takeaways:

• Social anxiety often begins with emotional wounds that made socializing feel unsafe.
• Real change starts small—think low-stakes, doable steps that gently challenge avoidance.
• Fear isn’t always the enemy; it can mean you care about doing something well.
• Proximity isn't the same as connection—you need spaces where you feel seen and heard.
• Your old coping tools may have kept you safe once, but healing asks for new ones.
