Lena: You know, Miles, I was thinking about how some women are absolute powerhouses in their careers—assertive, high-drive, just total leaders—but then they get into a relationship and this intense wave of anxiety hits. It’s like this internal tug-of-war between being a "queen" who knows her value and suddenly feeling like you need to check your phone every five minutes for a text.
Miles: Exactly, and it’s so important to realize that's not a flaw.

Lena: Right, it’s that "hyper-active" style where you reach toward a partner for safety. Let's explore how to turn that high-energy drive into a secure base.
