Do you keep ending up with the same type of partner—different face, same red flags?

Are your relationships lopsided—with one of you craving emotional intimacy, and the other can’t (or won’t) go there?

Do you find yourself thinking, “Why does this keep happening to me?”


If so, this episode is for you.


At some point, we all have to stop pointing fingers and ask the harder question: What’s my role in this?

Not to take all the blame. Not to spiral into shame.

But because real change in your love life starts with the one thing you can control—you.


This week, Ashtyn’s back—and I’m the one in the hot seat, answering the questions.

If you’re brave enough to look in the mirror, I promise to be right there with you, making it okay (and even a little bit funny).


In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The most common reason people fail to see their part in relationship patterns.
  • The key questions to ask yourself when your relationships feel like déjà vu.
  • What to do when you realize you are contributing to the problem.

This episode is packed with humor, honesty, and our own stories—so you don’t have to feel alone while doing the work. You can be the hero in your own love story.
