About this listen

Can two people truly heal together? Dan argues that the romanticized “grow together” narrative is mostly a fantasy. When one partner refuses to evolve, the relationship becomes a hostage situation, not a spiritual partnership. This episode empowers you to choose growth (even if it means walking alone) and shows why mutual growth requires individual commitment.

Episode highlights:

  • The sunk‑cost and attachment traps that keep you in fantasy.
  • Why walking alone is not selfish but self‑respect.
  • Practical ways to build structure and community while honoring your growth.
