ep 08 – Relationship Anxiety, The Cool Girl, and The Affair with Georgie Collinson

 
 

You can love someone and still betray them. You can be strong, independent, the cool girl… and still find yourself in an affair.

In this conversation with Australia’s leading anxiety therapist, Georgie Collinson, we go deep into the ways anxiety and self-betrayal shape our relationships:

  • How high-functioning anxiety becomes the mask of the cool girl

  • Why silence and “I don’t need you” energy always lead to disconnection

  • The hidden link between childhood wounds, yearning, and affairs

  • Georgie’s first public share of her own affair story — and what it taught her about love

  • Why consistency and availability in a partner regulate the nervous system more than chemistry ever will

  • How to stop abandoning yourself and start asking for what you really need

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m fine, I don’t need anything,” but secretly felt starving for connection — this episode will crack something open.
