Welcome back to the 52 Weeks Podcast. This week, Steph is joined again by Rachael Curfew, an experienced anxiety and relationship coach. In her previous episode, Rachael shared ways to calm anxiety alarms. In this follow-up conversation, the focus shifts to how anxiety often stems from relationship dynamics and what we can do about it.
In this episode, we cover:
How unresolved relationships from childhood often shape adult anxiety
What a relationship "blueprint" is and how to update yours
What to do when someone is stonewalling you in a conversation
Why some women struggle to share their opinions and how to reclaim your voice
How to stop people-pleasing and start setting healthy boundaries
Navigating hard conversations with adult children, in-laws, or a spouse
How to love someone even when they make choices that go against your values
Listener Challenge:
Make a list of things you know to be true about yourself. Then choose one of those things to confidently share with someone this week. It’s a small but powerful way to strengthen your voice and self-awareness.
Key takeaway from Rachael:
Every person needs someone who sees them, supports them, and truly listens. Knowing who you are is the first step to building those kinds of relationships.
