You want to be more affectionate.
You want to initiate connection.
You want to soften, speak kindly, reach out…
But when the moment comes—you freeze, shut down, or hold back.
And afterward, you wonder: Why didn’t I just do the thing I actually wanted to do?
In this episode, we’re exploring the emotional tug-of-war that so many of us face in marriage—the dissonance between how we want to show up and how we actually do. You’ll learn why this dynamic is so common, how fear and self-protection subtly take over, and what you can do to begin choosing love without losing yourself.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated by your own behavior or stuck in a pattern of emotional standoff, this conversation will bring clarity, compassion, and a new way forward.
You don’t have to stay caught in that in-between place.
Let’s talk about how to break through the blocks and start showing up as the partner you truly want to be.
🎧 Tune in now and take one small, bold step toward the love you’re craving.
