In this episode of the HerStory Podcast, host Kylie King welcomes April Summers, a relationship coach dedicated to helping successful women bridge the gap between professional achievement and personal fulfillment. April shares her deeply personal journey of living with generalised anxiety for 15 years and how “masking” her pain led to repetitive patterns in her relationships. Now a single mother co-parenting in the Hills District, April uses her experience to help women identify the subconscious wounds and attachment styles that keep them in the “fire” of relationship frustration.

April provides a refreshing perspective on modern dating and partnership, focusing on the transition from entertainment-based social media to raw, transformative coaching. She discusses the heavy toll of generational trauma and the “exhaustion” many women face when they carry the emotional labor of their households. This conversation is a call to move beyond intellectualizing our problems and start the real work of integration, presence, and authentic connection.
