Let’s Talk Love- A Real Love Ready Podcast
Julie Menanno- Secure Love
What does it take to create secure, lasting love?
In this episode of Let’s Talk Love, Robin sits down with therapist, author, and attachment expert Julie Menanno to explore how we can create relationships that feel safe, connected, and enduring. Rather than focusing on the idea of a “healthy relationship,” Julie invites us to consider what it means to build a secure partnership—one rooted in emotional safety, empathy, and mutual understanding.
Drawing from her powerful book Secure Love, Julie shares how recognizing our own and our partner’s core emotional needs and attachment styles can transform the way we communicate, navigate conflict, and repair ruptures. Her approach reminds us that love thrives not in perfection, but in the consistent willingness to see, hear, and respond to one another with care.
Through her platform The Secure Relationship, Julie’s work reaches millions, helping people understand that love and connection are not luxuries—they are essential human needs. This conversation offers practical wisdom and heartfelt insight for anyone seeking to deepen intimacy, build trust, and experience the grounded joy of secure love.
