We’re back from multiple vacations, we’ve battled bad internet, shady bank activity, and a child-filled Uber—and now we’re hitting you with one of the most essential (but least sexy) parts of a Female-Led Relationship: communication.

This week, I dive into a PsychCentral article about Nine Steps to Better Communication—and, surprise!—I have a lot to say about it.


This episode is raw, real, rambling, and right from the gut. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, unheard, or just flat-out confused in your FLR, you’re not alone.


What You’ll Hear Me Rant (lovingly) About:

  • Real-life chaos: Vacations, broken internet, kids, and compromised bank accounts
  • Surfacy convo vs. real emotional communication—how to spot the difference
  • Why “just listening” is harder than it sounds (and yes, I’m guilty)
  • Blended families, arguments, and learning to not hyper-focus on the wrong thing
  • Tech vs. touch: Is texting about feelings better or worse than saying them out loud?
  • Self-awareness, emotional dicklexia, and why I talk with my arms crossed and no eye contact
  • The reality that communication isn’t one-size-fits-all—and that’s okay

Krystine’s Take:

Episode Vibe:

Listener Reflection Questions:

  • Do you feel emotionally safe enough to tell your partner everything?
  • Have you mistaken casual check-ins for actual connection?
  • Are you more open through texting, voice, or face-to-face conversations?
  • How often do you validate your partner’s feelings (or ask for validation yourself)?
  • Are you guilty of bringing up old stuff during current argumen
