In this episode, I address advice like âa relationship should feel mostly positive / easy / joyful in order to be worth itâ, and âif the balance swings negative or if the association is that the relationship is difficult or complex then itâs a red flag.â
If youâve ever wondered âshouldnât this be easier?â â this episode is for you!

There is so much to learn from the Gottman Method of therapy, which is based on 40+ years of relationship research thanks to the work of John and Julie Gottman.

âHealingâ and growth are usually looked at as good things. But what happens when it becomes something weâre doing to try and be perfect and fix all the âbad stuffâ?
If you feel like you âshouldâ be on a healing journey and growing, or else youâre doing something wrong and not going to live up to your âpotentialâ â this episode is for you. Itâs a set of reminders that I come back to often, especially when my inner perfectionist tells me Iâm not âhealedâ enough.

Perfectionism has been a big theme on the podcast, but itâs sooooo needed! I truly think perfectionism is one of the biggest impacts on how we show up in our life and relationship, so this episode is for all my high achievers who put the bar so high for themselves and others around them.
I sit down with Kayla Licari, a physician associate turned coach that helps perfectionists conquer overwhelm in love and life. After realizing she was burning out from overachieving, perfectionist loops that were ruining her marriage, she knew she had to find a way through and now helps others do the same.
We talk about 5 signs of perfectionism in your relationships and life; control, fear, judgment, resentment, and prioritizing your needs last.

Our partners and relationships are constantly reflecting things back to us, and if weâre willing to âlook in the mirrorâ we can learn so much. One way we can learn from our relationship is to notice when weâre projecting; âwhen we see the self in the other.â
In this episode, I normalize projecting (youâre not doing something âbadâ or âwrongâ), give examples of projections in my relationship so you can notice them more in your own, and share steps to shift out of projection into more self-awareness (including 6 journal prompts to help you reflect).

Do you feel like youâre constantly comparing your relationship to others around you? Maybe you see a couple break up then worry youâre doomed to break up too. Or you see another couple doing something âbetterâ than you and feel like your relationship isnât good enough.

She shares the 3 Râs of self-trust and how to shift your perspective around relationship comparisons.

A lot of times in our relationships, itâs easy to look at our partner and notice all the things they could be doing better. âItâs you, not me.â
Whatâs not-so-easy is taking the time to understand how our own beliefs, patterns, and past experiences contribute to the dynamic. âItâs not you, itâs me.â
In this episode, I sat down with a past private coaching client of mine who used to hyper-focus on all the ways her partner could be better.
Sheâs not 100% âfixedâ (and that no longer is her goal), but sheâs made big shifts in how she relates to her partner (and herself). I canât wait for you to hear her story, and know you will learn a lot!

If our sex life doesnât match the steamy scenes from the movies, it can bring up a lot of anxiety: âam I with the right partner sexually?â âare we having enough sex?â âis our sex passionate enough?â etc.
And the ironic part is that all the pressure we place on ourselves and our sex life to be amazing can create the opposite outcomeâfeeling distracted and disconnected.
In this episode what I wish I learned about sex earlier (so Iâd have lower sex-pectations) and how to show up intentionally when it comes to sex so it causes less anxiety.

In this episode, I talk with Kimberley Quinlan, LMFT, about 5 relationship rules that changed her life. Sheâs been married for 20 years and has so much wisdom to share.
Hereâs a sneak peek at the 5 life-changing relationship rules:
1. It is not your job or my job to manage our familyâs emotions.
2. It is not your job to please the people you are in a relationship with.
3. They are allowed to have their feelings about our choices.
4. It is okay if they struggle to understand us.
5. You get to (and they get to) change their mind or change, period.
This conversation is jam-packed with helpful reminders about how to navigate the challenges that can come from relationships.

âDo I stay or go?â âHow do I know if a relationship is worth saving?â These are not-so-simple questions to answer, and can cause a lot of discomfort because of the uncertainty they drum up.
In this episode, I explore three ways to reflect on these questions (not to get 100% certainty, but to get curious about how you think and feel); Are you looking for permission to stay or go? Are you willing to accept the consequences that come from the decision? What parts of you are looking to stay, and what parts of you are looking to go? (And what is the motivation of these parts?)

Long distance relationships can be very challenging, especially if youâre getting pressure from external sources. âWhen are you going to be living together?â âAre you sure youâre not wasting your time?â âYou should only do long distance if you have an end-date in sightâ
In this conversation I talk to Hannah Frewin of @healingwithhan__ about the ups and downs of long distance and how she went from being anxious and doubtful about her relationship and partner to feeling fulfilled within herself and then her relationship.
Hannah shares how her own healing journey completely transformed the way she thinks about long distance, and has so much wisdom to share!

Does it make you feel like your relationship isnât up to par?

Do you ever worry that other people will discover that your relationship isnât as shiny and perfect as they think it is? Or that youâll somehow be exposed for experiencing relationship anxiety?
In this episode Iâm responding to a You Love and You Learn community submission where someone shared they have a fear that âeven though I am confident and content with my partner and relationship, someone else may see through it and call us out on our âbluffâ - that we are incompatible, not right, etc. No one has ever said this to us but the fear is thereâ
This episode talks more about that fear, how it contributes to relationship impostor syndrome, and 6 ways to manage relationship impostor syndrome.
