In this episode, we explore what it means to find your ground in relationships that feel confusing, painful, or no longer workable.Through two real-life situations, we look at the difference between relationships that can grow and those that can’t, and the internal work required in both.We explore:how to recognize when a relationship isn’t a good fitwhy clarity can take time (and why that’s not a failure)how to stop over-functioning when repair isn’t mutualwhat it means to stay in a relationship while protecting yourselfand the grief that often comes with seeing things clearlyThis is an honest, grounded conversation about boundaries, self-trust, and learning to care for yourself in the face of relational limits.Read more on the blog.Want more direct access to me?
