In this episode, we get real and sarcastic about social exhaustion and the struggle of simply existing around people. Why does small talk feel like a marathon?

Hit play, and let’s have a conversation about it (for as long as our batteries last). Enjoy!!
In this episode we dive into the evolving nature of relationships—romantic, platonic, and even the one we have with ourselves. We explore what it means to outgrow relationships and habits, the bittersweet reality of detachment, and how to offer genuine support without losing ourselves in the process. Growth often demands that we leave behind what no longer serves us, but how do we do so with grace, understanding, and self-awareness? Let’s unpack the complexities of love, letting go, and holding space in a way that nurtures both ourselves and those around us. Enjoy!!
We often hear about the five love languages [words of affirmation, acts of service, quality time, physical touch, and receiving gifts]. But what about the quiet, unspoken ways we express and receive love? In this episode, we explore the overlooked love languages: the comfort of shared silence, the power of intellectual stimulation, intentional thoughtfulness, appreciation for effort, emotional consistency, affectionate moments without pressure, and support without needing to fix things. These subtle gestures shape our relationships just as much as the traditional love languages—if not more. Tune in as we uncover the beauty of love beyond words.
