ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Today’s episode is a pretty real conversation about what happens to your relationship when life gets really full.
We’ve both been in a season where work, training, life and everything in between have taken up a lot of our capacity and we’ve noticed what that can bring up between us - feeling disconnected, resentment and sometimes unmet expectations.
We talk about what’s actually underneath those moments, how easy it is to make your partner the problem when you’re both just trying to get through a lot, and what changes when you actually communicate what you’re feeling and needing rather than letting it build.
We Dive Into:
What busy seasons can bring up in a relationship
Resentment and the expectations we don’t always realise we’re carrying
Feeling unseen while also knowing your partner is trying
How to communicate what you actually need without it coming out as criticism
Why sometimes the practical thing you’re arguing about isn’t actually the real issue
Learning to appreciate your partner’s effort while still being honest about what you need
Creating connection when you don’t feel like you have much capacity left
The bigger conversation around work, achievement, pressure and what we’re actually creating our lives around
