Tonight on Conversations with Coach LA, psychotherapist, Lakisha Renee Austin takes listeners on a powerful and deeply reflective journey into the emotional roots of attachment styles, relationship patterns, mother wounds, grief, and healing.

From anxious attachment and people-pleasing to emotional shutdown and fear of vulnerability, Coach LA breaks down the psychology behind our relational behaviors through both clinical insight and real-life reflection.
