You crave deep love, but when it shows up, your body goes into lockdown.

Your partner is loving, consistent, devoted—yet something inside you tightens. You forget how much they care. You pick fights. You feel safer in chaos than in peace. Sound familiar? This isn't self-sabotage—it's your nervous system protecting you from a love your childhood didn't prepare you to receive.

In this raw and intimate conversation, Raj and Natalie share how they've navigated this exact edge in their relationship—and the practice of surrender that's transformed grip into grace.

Here's what you'll discover:

→ Why relationship "ruptures" might actually be signs of expansion (not collapse)

→ The surprising reason unconditional love feels confronting (and what it's illuminating in you)

→ How to practice surrender without losing your discernment or safety

→ What it means to "pull up a chair" for your fear instead of fixing it

→ Why frozen nervous systems block love—and the daily practice that thaws them

→ The difference between surrendering and fawning (and how to tell which you're doing)

→ How to build self-trust so opening doesn't feel dangerous

→ Why "letting it be this good" requires more courage than staying in familiar pain

The truth? You can't receive a gift with clenched fists—and you can't create magic while bracing for impact.

If you've ever wondered why love feels scarier than loneliness, or why you resist the very thing you're praying for, this episode will crack you open. Raj and Natalie aren't offering theory—they're sharing the lived transmission of two people learning to trust love in real time.
