This episode introduces the foundations of a healthy relationship through four key pillars. Colter, Cayla, and Lauren use relatable examples, such as navigating differing preferences in dance lessons or understanding the dynamic between pursuers and withdrawers, to illustrate these concepts. They emphasize the importance of shared language, emotional safety, and empathy in building deeper connections. Rather than prescribing rigid rules, the episode advocates for learning and practicing relational skills through therapy and real-life experiences.
In this episode we discuss relationship advice topics that include:
Emotional Regulation / Window of Tolerance
Recognizing/Breaking Negative Cycles
Vulnerability
Emotional Connection
Roles of Boundaries
Building Skills Through Practice

Key Points Include:
Understanding Protective Moves
Examples and Intentions
Origins and Patterns
Moving Through Conflict
Building Resources
The hosts emphasized that while protective moves are natural, fostering awareness and understanding can transform them from barriers to bridges in relationships. They closed by advocating for patience, self-compassion, and communication to navigate these dynamics effectively.
