In this episode of Top Self, Shanenn dives into one of the most exhausting relationship cycles—when you keep second-guessing your partner, breaking up, getting back together, and wondering if they’re “the one.”

The truth? Your confusion isn’t about your partner. It’s about your pattern.


If you’ve ever caught yourself analyzing every text, tone, or gesture, or if you’re tired of asking “should I stay or should I go?”, this episode will hit home. Shanenn unpacks how fear, self-doubt, and emotional hot potatoes (yep, you read that right) keep us in chaos—and what to do instead.


You’ll learn how to pause the decision, regulate your nervous system, and start building self-trust, so you can finally feel confident in your choices—no matter who you’re with.


💎 Golden Episode Nuggets:


  • You’re not confused about them—you’re disconnected from you.
  • Fear-based decisions aren’t decisions; they’re safety strategies in disguise.
  • If it’s hysterical, it’s historical.
  • You can’t heal what you keep outsourcing.
  • Until you trust yourself, you’ll doubt every relationship—even the right one.


💡 Key Moments:


  • 2:00 – Why your breakup reflex isn’t about your partner—it’s about escaping discomfort
  • 6:45 – The “emotional hot potato” that keeps you stuck in the same patterns
  • 10:25 – Why your feelings might be valid… but not about what’s happening right now
  • 13:20 – The difference between deciding and reacting
  • 17:00 – How to tell the difference between a red flag pattern and a personal trigger
  • 22:37 – Why you don’t have to decide today if your partner is “the one”
  • 30:00 – The 30-day pause: the simple reset that stabilizes your decision-making
  • 33:50 – How to soothe your own nervous system without outsourcing it to your partner
  • 38:00 – The question that changes everything: “What would I choose if I trusted myself to handle any outcome?”
