EP304: Relationship Q&A The Struggles We Don’t Talk About Enough

In this week’s episode, I answer some of the most common questions I’ve heard as both a therapist and coach. From knowing when you’re settling, to why we ignore red flags, to what to do when boundaries aren’t respected, these struggles show up for almost everyone at some point in their relationships.

Through plain-spoken answers and real-life examples, you’ll learn what these dynamics look like in everyday life and why they’re so hard to recognize. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re giving too much, staying quiet to keep the peace, or struggling to show up authentically, this episode is for you.

 

 Three Takeaways

1.  The questions we ask about relationships often reveal where we’re struggling with boundaries and self-trust.

2.  Patterns from childhood can make unhealthy behavior feel familiar—and easy to excuse.

3.  Building healthier connections starts with noticing what feels off and having the courage to honor it.

 

Settling isn’t always about things

being terrible—it’s about

silencing yourself so it feels fine.
