In this episode of the Relationship Series, we’re talking about the conversations you avoid, the needs you don’t express, and the stories you create about how things will go before they even happen.

Resentment doesn’t usually explode overnight. It builds quietly in the moments you felt hurt but said nothing, the boundary you didn’t set, the need you hoped they would "just know.”

We explore how suppressed truth creates distance, why pre-written stories aren’t reality, and how radical honesty with yourself is the first step toward deeper connection - in partnerships, friendships, and every relationship in your life.

✨ Reflection Questions✨
• What need have I been expecting someone to meet without clearly expressing it?
• What story have I created about how they would respond?
• Where might I be choosing comfort over honesty?
• What would it feel like to express my truth without trying to control the outcome?

You don’t have to fix everything today. But you can always pause check in with yourself and the story before it turns into resentment.

Valentine’s Day can feel romantic… or heavy. Joyful… or lonely.

In this impromptu episode, I offer a grounded pause around love - not as a holiday performance, but as a daily practice.

What if love isn’t proven on specific days?
What if it starts with how you speak to yourself, hold boundaries, and honor your needs?

This isn’t a relationship “fix.” It’s an invitation to shift from outsourcing love to embodying it - whether you’re single, partnered, or somewhere in between.

✨Reflection Questions✨
• Where in my life do I equate love with validation instead of connection?
• What is one small way I can practice love toward myself this week - not because it’s Valentine’s Day, but because I matter?

Have you ever found yourself thinking, “This is just how relationships are” - and secretly wondering if there could be more?

In this episode of the Relationship Series, we explore the belief that often settles into long-term relationships and life without us even noticing: it is what it is. Not from a place of blame or fixing, but from curiosity, honesty, and self-connection.

We talk about how disconnection often begins internally before it shows up in our relationships, why many of us stop expressing our needs, and how choosing comfort over truth can slowly dim intimacy and aliveness. This episode is an invitation to question old stories, reconnect with yourself, and open space for something different - without needing immediate answers or outcomes.

This conversation includes reflection questions and a Magic of What If card pull to support awareness, curiosity, and gentle self-inquiry.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• “This is just how it is” is often a protective belief - not a truth
• Disconnection frequently starts within before it shows up relationally
• Reigniting connection begins with reconnecting to yourself
• Curiosity creates possibility; avoidance keeps patterns in place
• Willingness on both sides matters - and lack of it is important information
• Awareness alone can begin to shift long-standing dynamics
• You are allowed to question the stories that keep you small or stuck

✨REFLECTION QUESTIONS✨

• Where in my relationship or life have I quietly accepted, “this is just how it is”?
• Where might I be abandoning myself to keep things predictable or comfortable?
• What would curiosity look like here - without needing an immediate outcome?
