Part 3: Beyond People Pleasing – Building a Conscious Relationship That Heals and Grows
with Shane & Wendy Adamson

💬 Episode Summary:
In the final installment of our 3-part People Pleasing Recovery Series, we welcome back Shane and Wendy Adamson — a couple who nearly walked away from their marriage, but chose healing, growth, and conscious love instead.

Wendy, a former people pleaser and daughter of a narcissist, and Shane, a seasoned therapist with over 30 years of experience, open up about the real work behind a thriving relationship. From boundary-setting and self-advocacy to the little daily rituals that build emotional intimacy (hello, Two-Minute Miracle 💞), they share the tools that helped transform their connection from codependent to interdependent.

We talk about:

• How trauma and ADHD impact relationships — and how to navigate them with compassion
• What it really takes to support your partner’s empowerment (even when it feels scary)
• How to respond when guilt and emotional manipulation show up
• The drama triangle — and how to step into maturity and healing love
• Why evolving as individuals strengthens the team, not weakens it
• Creating safe space to grow separately and together

If you've ever felt lost in a relationship or afraid that growing into your authentic self would threaten your connection… this conversation is your reminder:
 ✨ Love can grow deeper as you become more of yourself.
