🎙️ In this revealing episode of "I Wish You Knew," Adam Lane Smith, the attachment specialist, and Andrey Korikov, a high-achieving CEO and co-founder of Veritas Creative Media, dive deep into the hidden struggles of avoidant attachment, guilt, and self-worth among high performers.

Adam guides Andrey through the deep, uncomfortable realities of living with avoidant attachment as a leader and the hidden emotional costs that come with high achievement. Andrey bravely opens up about the relentless guilt and inability to feel proud of his accomplishments, a common struggle among avoidant high-achievers.

This episode isn’t just a coaching session; it’s a powerful look at the sacrifices high-achieving avoidants make and an invitation for anyone seeking genuine connection to step out of avoidance and into a more fulfilling way of life.

✨ Key Highlights You Can’t Miss ✨:

👉 How dissociating to stay strong can backfire, leading to burnout, detachment, and early death.

👉 The unexpected impact of emotional vulnerability and secure attachment in business, and why it matters in the workplace.
