In this episode of BUILT DIFFERENT, Erin Sykes sits down with psychotherapist and bestselling author Jessica Baum for a conversation that connects relationships, business, and the patterns most people don’t realize are driving both.

Jessica, author of Anxiously Attached and Safe, breaks down how attachment styles show up far beyond dating. The way you handle pressure, make decisions, navigate clients, and respond to money is often rooted in the same patterns developed early on.

Because Erin has worked with Jessica personally, the conversation moves past theory and into real application. They talk through how these dynamics show up in negotiations, client relationships, and moments where emotions quietly influence outcomes.

The discussion also shifts into what it actually takes to change those patterns. Not just awareness, but real work. Jessica explains why healing is not something you can do in isolation and why the right relationships play a critical role in that process.

This episode gives you a clearer lens on your own behavior and challenges the idea that independence alone is the goal.

Listen if you’re:

  • Noticing patterns in your relationships or business decisions that you can’t quite explain
  • Someone who overthinks, people-pleases, or struggles to trust
  • Highly independent but finds it hard to ask for help or let go of control
  • Navigating client relationships where emotions and money collide
  • Interested in doing deeper work beyond surface-level self-help

BUILT DIFFERENT with Erin Sykes examines the often-unseen frameworks that dictate our daily decisions and long-term trajectories. This isn't just a business podcast about balance sheets; it's a deep dive into the architecture of our choices. Erin Sykes guides conversations that connect tangible domains like real estate and investment strategy with the more intimate forces at play-the psychology behind a sale, the habits embedded in our shopping, and the dynamics within our personal relationships. Every episode is built on the premise that these areas are not separate silos but interconnected systems. Listeners will find a blend of sharp market analysis, discussions on money mindset, and candid personal stories that reveal how principles of value creation apply universally. The throughline is a sophisticated yet accessible curiosity about how we assemble a life of meaning and substance, piece by piece. Tune in for a podcast that consistently challenges conventional wisdom, offering not just answers but better questions about the foundations we choose to build upon.
