About this listen
Are you doing all the work in your relationship — and still feeling like it’s not enough?
This episode is for the high-functioning, overthinking, emotionally responsible partners who are constantly trying harder... and quietly burning out in the process.
In this honest conversation, we break down:
🔹 Why “trying harder” can actually push connection further away
🔹 How nervous system imbalance fuels resentment and emotional disconnection
🔹 The hidden cost of self-abandonment and over-functioning in relationships
🔹 What to do instead — especially if you’re the one always holding it all together
You don’t need to fix everything to create real connection — but you do need to break the loop you’re stuck in.
