Deep Dives & Real Talk

In this episode, I unpack the myth of the perfect partner - and why chasing perfection in love often leads to disconnection. With some warmth, insight, and a little reality TV wisdom, I explore what we get wrong about compatibility, why discomfort doesn’t mean you’re with the wrong person, and how difference isn’t the problem - it’s the invitation.

Join me as I explores the subtle but powerful difference between emotional and physical intimacy, why both matter, and how a lack in one can silently unravel connection. I invite you to reflect on your own patterns, ask meaningful questions, and start noticing the quiet ways disconnection shows up - like nitpicking, silence, or pulling away.

Ever wonder why you react the way you do in relationships? Why do some people crave closeness while others pull away? It all comes down to attachment styles - the unconscious patterns that shape how we connect, love, and handle conflict.

Do you and your partner feel like you’re on opposing teams instead of the same one? Power struggles can turn love into competition, leaving both partners feeling unseen.​
