How Emotional Availability Can Change Your Life and Deepen Every Relationship, Part 4 of 6
Are you showing up for everyone else but forgetting yourself in the process?
Nina Garcia explores emotional availability, the fourth profile in the Emotional Security Spectrum, in this week’s episode. Using Captain America as a powerful metaphor, she breaks down what it really means to be present, not just physically, but emotionally. This is an invitation to pause, connect, and start leading your life from the inside out. Emotional availability isn't about perfection or oversharing; it’s about responsibility, boundaries, and choosing presence even when it’s hard. If you've ever felt disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in "doing" mode, this will feel like a deep breath of clarity.
