  • #188: When Your Relationship Feels Stuck (& What to Do About It)
    May 17 2025

    Feeling stuck in your relationship? Like things are off, disconnected, or just… heavy? You're not alone. Relationship ruts are common — and they're often more about what's bleeding into the relationship (stress, burnout, life overload) than about the relationship itself.

    For those in anxious-avoidant dynamics, these ruts can feel especially charged. The anxious partner often wants to fix it, while the avoidant may feel overwhelmed or pressured — leading to even more distance.

    In this episode, I share 3 powerful shifts to help you move out of a rut and back into connection:

    • Shift your focus to what is working — Appreciation and warmth go further than criticism.
    • Reconnect through something light — Play, fun, and novelty can do what words sometimes can’t.
    • Tend to your own world — Reclaim your centre so the relationship doesn’t carry the full weight of your wellbeing.

  • #187: Is It Better to Heal While Single or in a Relationship?
    May 10 2025

    Whether you’re single or partnered, you might find yourself wondering: Am I in the right place to do this work? There’s often an unspoken belief that there’s a “best” time to heal — and that if we’re not doing it in the ideal conditions, we’re doing it wrong.

    In this episode, I’ll explore:

    • The advantages and limitations of healing while single
    • Why being in a relationship can accelerate your growth (but only under the right conditions)
    • How emotional safety plays a key role in healing
    • Why the question itself might be coming from a place of fear, shame, or comparison
    • How to work with whatever season you're in and meet yourself there

    Whether you're currently dating, in a relationship, or consciously taking space from romantic connection — this conversation will help you better understand the unique opportunities (and challenges) each path offers.

  • #186: When Life Hasn't Gone to Plan
    Apr 30 2025

    We all have visions for how we thought life would unfold — timelines we hoped to follow, milestones we expected to reach. So what happens when life doesn't go to plan?

    In today’s episode, I’m speaking to those moments of disappointment, grief, and disorientation that come when our reality looks nothing like we’d imagined. Whether it’s relationships, career, family, or a more intangible sense of where you “should” be by now — it’s easy to spiral into self-blame, shame, or despair when life veers off course.

    We’ll explore:

    • Why unmet timelines can stir such deep emotion and shame
    • The hidden comparison traps that make us feel like we’re falling behind
    • How to hold space for grief without collapsing into hopelessness
    • The difference between giving up and gently letting go
    • What it looks like to reimagine your path from a place of self-trust and compassion

    If you’re navigating a chapter that looks wildly different from what you’d hoped or planned — I hope this conversation helps you feel a little less alone.

Mind opening and interesting - growth mindset

Love this podcast, helped me navigate all relationships in my life and have a better understanding of myself and why I do certain things (when I have no idea why and don't want to do those things in the first place ). Wish I round this earlier.

this podcast has changed my life!

As a guy who is newly single in my mid 30s this podcast has changed my life already to understand people in my life better. I wish I listened to this podcast about 9 months ago so I could have navigated my anxious-avoidant relationship much better.

But even listening this to now has given me so much clarity around my most recent ex and I know this will make a massive difference to my next relationship. So thank you Stephanie and I hope you know that the work you do is priceless and life changing for so many people.
