Baya Voce opens up about the hidden cost of living in a world that promises everything without friction while our relationships demand the exact opposite. She shares the counterintuitive truth that bending over backwards in relationships isn't love, it's self-abandonment, and explains why most couples fail not because they fight, but because they never learned to repair properly. Through raw personal stories and research-backed frameworks, Baya breaks down the difference between accepting someone's limitations and enabling their dysfunction. This conversation will shift how you think about conflict forever, giving you practical tools to turn your messiest relationship moments into opportunities for genuine intimacy and growth.
In this episode you will:
- Discover why your nervous system needs friction to build resilience and how avoiding small conflicts actually creates bigger ones later
- Transform your relationship arguments using the repair framework that stops the blame cycle before it spirals
- Learn the critical difference between change and effort in partnerships and why confusing them keeps you stuck in resentment
- Break free from the cultural myth that bending over backwards equals love and start setting boundaries without guilt
- Master the art of staying present during emotional reactions instead of running away or people-pleasing your way through conflict

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
