    How to Know When to Talk: Timing Conversations in Your Relationship

    · Love Conscious Relationship

    In this episode of Breaking the Cycle, couples therapist Jessica Myers-Adams unpacks one of the most common reasons conversations turn into conflict: bad timing. If you're trying to talk to your partner about something important and it keeps ending in a fight, shutdown, or stonewalling, the issue may not be what you’re saying—it’s when you’re saying it.

    Bringing up hard conversations at the wrong time can create distance instead of connection. Whether your goal is to stop the same argument from repeating, avoid triggering defensiveness, or finally feel heard, this episode will give you practical tools to communicate with your partner more effectively—and in the right moment.

    This is for anyone who’s tired of their partner getting defensive, walking away mid-conversation, or avoiding important topics. Learn how to recognize when your partner is most likely to listen, how to approach serious topics without causing tension, and how to create emotional safety before bringing up a concern.

    What you’ll walk away with:

    How to avoid fights by picking the right time to talk

    What causes communication breakdowns even with good intentions

    How to stop your partner from shutting down during hard conversations

    A simple strategy to make your partner feel more open and engaged

    · Love Conscious Relationship

    Ever find yourself in a conversation where your partner says something that’s just
 wrong? Maybe they misremember what you said or twist the facts—and you’re thinking, “I can’t let that slide.”

    In this episode, we’re digging into that moment—the one that either leads to resolution or kicks off a recycled fight. I’ll walk you through why correcting your partner (even when they’re wrong) often backfires, and what to do instead to actually resolve issues without triggering defensiveness or disconnection.

    I’m also sharing a personal story from my own relationship (yes, I had to admit I was wrong 😅), a powerful takeaway from Jim Jamm’s TED Talk, and my go-to exercise I use in the therapy room to help couples get clear on what really matters in a disagreement.

    What you’ll learn in this episode:

    Why telling your partner they’re wrong doesn’t usually help—and what works better

    How defensiveness gets in the way of connection and what it’s really protecting

    Why curiosity is more powerful than correction when it comes to resolving conflict

    The 6-step framework I use with clients to move out of gridlock and into meaningful conversation

    The one exception when correcting your partner might actually be helpful 😉

    Bottom line?You don’t need to win the fight. You need to figure out what matters most, understand what’s really going on beneath the argument, and decide who you want to be in the middle of it.

    📝 In this Episode:

    Let’s be real — it’s exhausting when it feels like you’re the one carrying the emotional weight in the relationship. You’re trying. You’re learning. You’re showing up. And yet
 your partner? Still doing the same things that drive you crazy.

    In this episode, I’m talking directly to the person who feels like, “If they would just change, everything would be fine.” You might even feel like you’re right — and truthfully, you probably are about a lot. But here’s the twist: being right doesn’t fix the relationship.

    So what do you do when you want your partner to change, but they won’t? How do you move forward when you’re stuck waiting for them to finally get it?

    I’ll walk you through a totally different way to approach this — one that doesn’t involve begging, repeating yourself, or giving up. If you’re ready to stop spinning and start seeing real progress, this episode is your wake-up call.

    Does your partner grumble, dismiss you, or seem unsupportive when you try to connect? It’s frustrating—like you’re stuck in the same recycled fights, hoping for change but getting nowhere. It can feel exhausting, like you're talking to a wall, and over time, that disconnect can lead to resentment and an even wider gap between you.

    In this episode, I’m diving into the common ways we try (and fail) to get our partner to be more responsive.

If you listen until the end, I’ll also walk you through an action plan you can use right away to start seeing immediate change.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    5 Steps to Get Your Partner to Help More

    Recognize OverfunctioningOverfunctioning happens when you take on too much—whether it’s tasks, emotions, or decisions—because you feel it’s easier than letting go. But this can unintentionally signal to your partner that their help isn’t needed, which keeps the dynamic stuck.Pause Before Taking OverInstead of jumping in to handle everything, pause and ask yourself: Do I really need to take this on, or can I let my partner handle it? Creating space allows your partner to step in.Communicate What You NeedPartners often don’t help because they don’t know exactly what you want. Say things like, “I’m feeling overwhelmed and could use your help with [specific task],” rather than, “You never help.” Clear communication avoids blame and fosters collaboration.Let Go of PerfectionIf you expect your partner to do things exactly the way you would, you might unintentionally discourage them from helping. Focus on their effort rather than how perfectly they do something.Reinforce and Acknowledge Their HelpWhen your partner steps up, let them know you appreciate it. Positive reinforcement builds their confidence and encourages them to contribute more consistently.

    Key Quotes from the Episode

    Episode 34: Why Miscommunication Happens in Relationships (and How to Fix It)

    · Love Conscious Relationship

    Do you feel like your partner never understands you?Are arguments starting out of nowhere?Or maybe your partner shuts down the moment you try to talk?

    Miscommunication can make even small conversations feel impossible. It’s like you’re speaking two different languages, and no matter how hard you try, the message gets lost in translation. But here’s the thing: communication problems aren’t always about what’s being said—it’s about what’s being heard and understood.

    In this episode, Jessica breaks down the 3 biggest reasons miscommunication happens in relationships and how you can learn to translate what you’re saying—and what your partner is trying to say—so you can truly connect.

    Jessica will guide you through:

    Assumptions & Mindreading – Why thinking “they should just know” leads to frustration and conflict.Nonverbal Interpretations – How we often misread tone, body language, or facial expressions and jump to conclusions.Lack of Clarity in Messages – The danger of vague complaints and hidden expectations that leave your partner guessing.

    If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why can’t they understand me?” or “Why do we fight for no reason?” this episode will help you untangle the confusion and improve your communication.

    Learn simple tools to reduce miscommunication, understand your partner better, and start speaking the same language—literally and emotionally.

    Tune in now to transform the way you communicate in your relationship!
