The Real Scoop

In this episode of The Real Scoop, Erin Taylor is joined by Michelle known on instagram as "Mend with Mesh" for an honest and open conversation about relationships, self-worth, attachment styles, and how they impact on your nervous system regulation.Together, they explore why so many women find themselves stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns, not because they’re doing something wrong, but because of unmet needs, unregulated nervous systems, and deeply ingrained societal pressures around what we are "taught about" love, success, and worthiness.This episode is especially powerful if you’re navigating dating, healing from past relationships, or noticing how stress and emotional overwhelm show up in your body when it comes to connection. Erin and Michelle unpack how understanding your attachment style, values, and boundaries can help you feel safer, more secure, and more grounded in relationships, without losing yourself.They also discuss the impact of comparison culture and social media on women’s confidence, why recognising red flags early matters, and how true independence and self-trust create healthier dynamics. At the heart of this conversation is the reminder that regulating your nervous system is not separate from your relationship choices, it’s foundational to them.This conversation is truly supportive for the women who knows she needs to break cycles, move on and also for the friend who is looking for new ways to support a friend they know in an unhealthy relationship.This is for the woman who is ready to build relationships from a place of clarity rather than survival or fear.You can find Michelle @mendwithmeshErin will also be speaking at Michelle’s event Volve After Dark in February 2026 a powerful space focused on growth, healing, and deeper self-connection.
