Steve and I talk about something we both know all too well: that awkward, subtle distance that can build up in a relationship when you’re not saying what you’re really feeling.

We recently found ourselves in a place of disconnection, nothing dramatic, no big argument, just a series of micro misunderstandings, missed cues, and moments where we assumed instead of asked. Steve played the, 'everything is fine' card. I kept going into the, 'ah, no it's not'. 

We talk about:

  • The quiet buildup that leads to emotional distance
  • How easy it is to misread or misinterpret each other when we’re not fully present
  • Why the “I’m fine” act only works for so long before resentment starts to settle in
  • And what it took to finally come back into honest connection

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt a disconnect but didn’t quite know how to name it. For anyone who’s ever gone through the motions while something unspoken sits between you.
