What happens when rules replace real connection?
In this episode, we explore how rigid, transactional thinking can quietly unravel the emotional fabric of our relationships and communities, especially in neurodivergent partnerships.
Together, we’ll look at the lived experience behind rule-based logic and why it often leads to misunderstanding, frustration, and emotional disconnection.
If you’ve ever felt unseen in a relationship or unsure how to bridge the emotional divide, this conversation is for you. Let’s untangle the patterns and find our way back to true connection.
