We look for safety and security at the beginning of our relationships… so why do we end up resenting these same things in our marriages? Let’s get curious about this 180° turnaround with a real-life example from one of my clients.
Vicki built her life around feeling secure, but then she started to feel restless and even oppressed by the predictability of her marriage. She started wondering -
“Who’s to blame when we get what we want… but we’re unhappy? What happens when we feel buried by the stability of the lives we’ve created? What if we feel utterly lost after the kids leave home… and we’re not sure where to put our energy and focus?”
In this episode, I answer these questions with an explanation of The Relationship Pyramid. Tune in for a deep dive into the purpose of safety, security, and predictability in our most intimate relationships.

In this episode of The Loving Truth, I dive deep into the dynamics of blame in relationships. I pose the question: why do we so readily reach for blame, and how does it impact our marriages?

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the blame game—whether it’s blaming your partner or being blamed—this episode offers insightful guidance to break free and create healthier dynamics.

In this episode, I explore the powerful and often misunderstood role of guilt in relationships, especially when considering a major decision like ending a marriage. I discuss how guilt, while sometimes a healthy indicator of empathy and self-awareness, can cross into codependency. I explain how taking responsibility for others' emotions often leads to self-abandonment and living a life that’s not truly authentic. I share insights to help listeners find balance between empathy and self-respect, even when facing tough choices.

In this episode of The Loving Truth podcast, I dive into the complexities of love and safety in relationships. I discuss how, despite our desire for security, love inherently involves risk. I share personal insights about how seeking "safe" partners can sometimes lead to boredom in long-term relationships and I explore why people choose predictable love for comfort, yet crave excitement and change later on. I encourage listeners to embrace the uncertainties of love, reflecting on how love, though never truly safe, is ultimately worth the risk for the deeper human experience it offers.

In this episode of The Loving Truth, I tackle a topic I never expected to cover: navigating political differences within a marriage. I explore how political disagreements can add strain to an already complex relationship and share practical tools to maintain respect and connection, even when you and your partner don’t see eye to eye on politics. I emphasize the importance of curiosity, critical thinking, and respectful communication, offering advice on how to stay grounded and avoid conflict during emotionally charged discussions. I also discuss the significance of free will and encourage listeners to take charge of their own emotions rather than expecting their partner to change.

In today’s episode of The Loving Truth, I address the complex and often painful decision of leaving a good man. Many women find themselves in a situation where they are married to someone who is genuinely kind, caring, and stable—yet they feel unfulfilled or disconnected. I share my personal experience and explore the challenges of holding two truths at once: loving and caring for a good person while also recognizing they may not be the right partner for your most intimate relationship.
In this episode, I encourage listeners to explore whether a "good man" is the right partner for them and empower them to make decisions that honor their needs, while still maintaining respect and care for their partner.

“Will my partner ever change? Because I really want him to.” What a great question - and it’s one I hear all the time.
Let me start with this: Yes, people can change. And I can say this with deep humility… the person I was in my first marriage is NOT the person I am now.

what we really have control over (and what we don’t) what is actually our personal responsibility (and what belongs to our partners) and the greatest teacher of my life (and probably yours!)MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE

So… what exactly happens to intimacy the longer we stay in committed partnerships? In this episode, I’ll explain why desire wanes the longer we’re married and what to do to prioritize YOUR pleasure.
