Defensiveness isn’t proof your partner doesn’t care. It’s a sign they don’t feel safe.

In this episode we reveal the truth about defensiveness:
Why defensiveness is really about protection, not rejection
How shame, fear, and not feeling enough fuel the walls in your relationship
The exact steps we used to break the cycle and finally open up honest conversations

“Defensiveness isn’t the problem. Disconnection is. When you meet the defense with compassion instead of fighting it, everything changes.”

If you’ve ever thought:
He just won’t open up
Every conversation feels like hitting a wall
We can’t talk without it turning into an argument

This episode will shift how you see defensiveness and show you how to create safety, honesty, and connection.

Save this for when you feel shut out.

Send it to a friend who’s tired of hitting the same walls.

“Resentment isn’t about your partner at all”

In this episode we reveal the truth about resentment:

• Why resentment is really grief, sadness, and unmet needs
• How unspoken needs become premeditated resentment
• The exact steps to shift from resentment into appreciation
  
  

“Resentment isn’t an excuse. It’s the reason. And when you feel it instead of fighting it, you can finally be free.”

If you have ever thought:

• I’m doing everything on my own
• My partner should just know what I need
• Things will get better if they just change
  
  

This episode will challenge those beliefs and show you how to reclaim your power and reconnect.

Save this for when you feel stuck in blame.
Send it to a friend who’s tired of carrying silent resentment.

In this episode we open up about:

The sessions that left us more frustrated
The missing piece no one told us about
The shift that finally brought us back together

If you have ever felt like therapy did not work for you… this episode is for you.

Save this for when you feel stuck.
Share it with someone who needs to know there is another way.
