Round 7: Ep - 18 Psychologist/Author Dr. Janne Lomasky: To Stay or Not to Stay: Choosing Between Growth and Goodbye?

What does it really take to decide whether to stay or leave a relationship that no longer feels healthy—or safe? In this powerful conversation with clinical psychologist and author Dr. Janae Lomosky, we explore the emotional toll of staying too long, the real reason many people feel “stuck,” and how to begin rebuilding self-worth and mental clarity, even before the relationship ends. Whether you’re navigating divorce, toxic dynamics, or just feeling uncertain about your next step, this episode delivers deep insight and gentle encouragement grounded in clinical wisdom and personal experience.

From vulnerability as a superpower to the foundational role of emotional safety and friendship in long-term connection, this is one of those episodes you’ll want to return to again and again. Dr. Lomosky also shares her perspective on men’s mental health, the power of mindfulness through body-based healing, and how writing down dealbreakers might just be the first step to reclaiming your life. If you’re silently questioning your relationship—or know someone who is—this is a must-listen.
