Life lately: Attachment Theory, EMDR & A Qualified Life Coach with Janelle Corlass-Brown

Life Academy

Show Notes

It's a big one today besties! 💜 We kick things off with the usual chaos – Alicia survived a 44-degree night with no power (thank god for Makita fans), Dena wandered around the city for 40 MINUTES looking for her car, and we're getting so excited for the AACTA Awards on the Gold Coast!!!

Then, we're joined by our beautiful friend Janelle Corlass-Brown! She's a clinical psychologist who we've known since our dance school days, and honestly Janelle is the warmest, most nurturing human 🥹🥹. She breaks down attachment theory in a way that finally makes sense, explains what actually happens in EMDR therapy (yes, she brought the buzzy things!), and asks us questions that had us both in tears 😭😭.

This episode is full of lightbulb moments and like always, we LOVE you guys! 💕
