TRANSCRIPT Title: Understanding Loneliness in Marriage: Navigating Emotional Unavailability Introduction: In today's episode of the Emotional Healing for Women podcast, I unpacked a profound yet often unspoken struggle—feeling lonely within a marriage. Many women find themselves married but emotionally isolated, especially when their spouses are emotionally unavailable. In this episode, we’ll explore this issue, drawing insights from the podcast to provide understanding and actionable steps for those grappling with this painful experience. Main Content: Section 1: The Reality of Emotional Loneliness The podcast opens with a powerful statement: "You can be married and lonely." This resonates with many who experience emotional disconnection in their marriages. Mav emphasizes that emotional loneliness is not merely physical solitude but a deep sense of being unseen and unheard by one’s partner. This feeling can lead to confusion and self-doubt, particularly when one spouse feels neglected or invalidated by the other. Section 2: The Impact of Enmeshment A significant factor contributing to emotional unavailability is enmeshment within family dynamics. Mav explains that individuals from enmeshed families often struggle with blurred boundaries, making it hard to separate their emotional needs from those of their family members. This can lead to a spouse being emotionally occupied by unresolved family issues, resulting in their inability to connect with their partner. For example, first-born children often take on caregiving roles, which can diminish their ability to recognize and articulate their own emotional needs. Section 3: The Cycle of Emotional Avoidance The podcast highlights how emotionally unavailable husbands may not even recognize their avoidance. Mav points out that many individuals learn to navigate relationships without true emotional intimacy, leading to patterns of invalidation. This can leave the lonely spouse feeling dismissed, as one listener recounted, "My husband would just say, no, that’s all in your head." This dismissal can create a cycle where the wife feels increasingly isolated and confused. Section 4: The Consequences of Emotional Neglect Mav discusses the toll that emotional neglect can take on a woman's mental and physical health. Chronic stress from feeling invalidated can lead to various health issues, including fatigue and anxiety. Furthermore, many women may find that past emotional wounds resurface in their current relationships, especially if they grew up with emotionally unavailable parent figures, which can lead to heightened feelings of abandonment and rejection. Section 5: Taking Action Towards Healing Despite the challenges, Mav encourages listeners to take control of ...

    EP. 40 | STOP BEING THE GO-TO: YOUR "SUPER RESPONSIBLE" VIBE LEADS TO HFP BURNOUT
    Nov 24 2025
    Are you the family's go-to person? If you're a highly functioning woman (HFP) struggling with anxiety, insomnia, and a crippling need to take care of everyone else, this episode is your intervention. I discussed with Licensed Therapist Ibiye Oyali to spill the tea on the super responsible identity, where people-pleasing is driven by cultural expectations and the "first-born girl" narrative. There is a difference between healthy excellence and paralyzing perfectionism, why you feel guilty for saying "no," and how to set luminous boundaries that protect your peace. Get the simple, strategic steps you need for HFP recovery—starting with the 80% rule. Welcome to Emotional Healing for Christian Women. Thank You! For listening/Watching. ⁠I’m Marvel C.

Today's show is going to be very exciting and I'm already pumped up to hear everything about the high functioning processing. And with me today on the show is Ibinye. Ibinye is back today. Ibinye, thank you so much for coming in again. Mav: Ibinye Oyali is a licensed marriage and family therapist, as well as a coach for highly sensitive women. As a coach, she helps women manage big emotions, stand up by themselves, by certain healthy boundaries, and finally stop people pleasing. And as a therapist, her practice focuses on anxiety, insomnia, and couples' relationships. Mav: She works with high achieving women who struggle with anxiety and the need to take care of everyone else. She helps couples learn how to communicate better, create a stronger connection and resolve conflicts faster. Finally, she helps people with insomnia quickly fall asleep and stay asleep without pills or drastically changing their lifestyle. I think that is really holistic. Mav: Welcome, Ibiya. Thank you so much for having me back, Marvel. So today we're going to discuss, as I introduced earlier, the highly functioning pressing. Ibiya, please tell me, in your own expertise and experience and clinical observations, who would you say is a highly functioning pressing? So in my practice, Mav: I like to call them the super responsible member of the family. That's how I like to describe them. So the one person that everybody can turn to, whether at work, even at home, because it bleeds from the home to the workplace to friendships. The one person everybody calls when they need help, the one person who organizes everything, she is like the center of everybody's world. Mav: She takes care of everyone even before taking care of her own self. So that is how I would describe the high functioning person. Interesting. The go-to person who seems to be able to focus on what other people's needs are and helping them meet it most likely would be prioritizing their needs last. Yes, exactly. Sometimes they don't even know that they have needs. Mav: dear, wow. So what I'm imagining the highly functioning person would be would probably be, is it when they have really just burnt off or shut down, then they are now forced to confront their own needs, emotional needs in particular? Yes. So they get to a point where they're feeling completely overwhelmed. Mav: The burden on ...

I’m Marvel, your Christian Coach, and today we are spilling the tea on a topic that is absolute gospel for your love life. I’ve been deep in the pages of one of my favourite books, and it unlocked a powerful truth we absolutely need to internalize before anyone walks down an aisle: Marriage does not complete you; it complements you. Say it with me: Complement, not complete. For too long, the narrative—especially for Christian women—has been that "I Do" is the finish line, the moment you finally become whole. But that vibe check is completely off. If you walk into a marriage with an incomplete self, you’re not looking for a partner; you're looking for a saviour. And that sets you up for a toxic relationship. Today, we’re doing the inner work. We’re identifying the 7 luminous requirements of character and emotional maturity you need to be rocking before you even think about accepting that ring. This is your definitive pre-marital advice checklist for building a healthy relationship. If you’re a young woman in your twenties, thirties, or forties, listen up. Your self-love journey starts right now. THE RESCUER TRAP: WHEN INCOMPLETENESS INVITES CONTROL We all know this scenario, and maybe—just maybe—you’ve lived it. When you haven't done the deep inner self-work—when you still struggle with low self-image or a pervasive lack of assertiveness—you enter the dating pool with massive emotional needs. You might still be desperately seeking the validation of your parents, even though you are a grown woman with a grown-up life. This unmet need makes you a magnet for a specific type of partner: the rescuer. He steps in and seems to fill every void. He tells you what to wear, handles all the decisions, and at first, that structure feels safe. He seems like the savior you didn't have growing up, maybe the structure you missed from your father. You think, "Wow, he’s so decisive and protective!" But fast-forward a year into marriage, and that "savior" quickly pivots. He's not rescuing you; he is controlling you. He takes advantage of your low self-image and your lack of boundaries. What started as "protection" becomes isolation. What felt like "decisiveness" turns into domineering behavior. If you don't deal with the root issues of low self-worth and unexpressed opinion now, you risk marrying a controlling husband. To build a truly luminous relationship, you must first be a luminous individual. THE 7 LUMINOUS REQUIREMENTS: YOUR MATURITY CHECKLIST To be a healthy, complete adult ready for a thriving partnership, you must possess these seven ...

KEYWORDS: #HopeAhead, #FaithJourney, #RoutineMatters, #SpiritualGrowth, #HealingPath, #PrayerPower, #VisionRestored, #PositiveMindset, #EmbraceChange, #ReflectiveJournaling TRANSCRIPT “Their best days are not behind.” Hey — I want you to sit with that for a second. Say it out loud if you need to: Their best days are not behind. Now let me say it to you directly: Your best days are not behind you. Not even close. I’m Marvel Adeyemi. I’m a therapist and a Christian coach. I talk to women who’ve been disappointed, let down, or hurt — sometimes by people, sometimes by life itself. I also work with women who feel their dreams have stalled. Here’s the truth I want you to hear today: disappointment is real, but it is not the final chapter. There is a path forward. Proverbs 4:18 says, “The path of the righteous shines brighter and brighter until the full light of day.” That image matters — it’s gradual, steady, and it gets brighter. Your life can do the same. This is a short, practical message about keeping hope when things go wrong, and how routines, exercise, prayer and Scripture can help you return to the blueprint God gave you — your vision, your calling, your next season. Why hope feels fragile — and why it isn’t gone When disappointment lands — a relationship that failed, a job that collapsed, a door that slammed — your inner world shrinks. Things that once felt possible become heavy. That’s normal. The problem is not feeling hurt. The problem is staying stuck in the hurt. Hope is not denial. Hope is a posture. It’s a choice to open your hands to what God might still do. It’s also practical. You don’t wait for hope to appear like magic. You build conditions where hope grows. Routines are the scaffolding of hope Here’s the most practical thing: routine matters. When life breaks, your nervous system can feel chaotic. Routine is a small, reliable anchor. It re-teaches your body and brain that life can be predictable again. That predictability invites calm. Calm opens space for hope. Start tiny. I mean tiny. Pick two simple things and do them every day at roughly the same time: 5 minutes of breathwork or prayer first thing.10 minutes of journaling each evening — write one thing that went ok. That’s your minimum. Don’t skip it because you feel “too tired” or “not worthy.” Consistency beats intensity. A steady, tiny routine teaches your body that you can be safe again. Once those small habits stick, they give you the energy and clarity to reach for your bigger blueprint — that vision God gave you. How routines reconnect you to your life blueprint Remember the vision you had — the career idea, the family dream, the ministry stirring in your heart? Trauma and disappointment don’t erase vision. They bury it under survival behaviours. Routine is the shovel that uncovers it. A practical map: Morning: 10 minutes quiet time (Bible + prayer). Ask one question: What step today honours that vision?Midday: A short ...
