Description

When your partner gives you advice on how to love or live, it can sometimes feel like an invitation to grow.

But it can also mask manipulation.

One listener shares how her spiritually focused husband tells her she doesn’t know how to love and is not living in her true self.

I explain how these comments often reflect his own projections, not her reality.

I talk about how we can learn to trust our inner wisdom instead of being swayed by criticism, and how to create healthier conversations in our relationships.

The key takeaway: separate your ego from the truth and learn to listen to your body for guidance.

Struggling to decide whether to stay or go in your marriage and you’re serious about finding that answer?

Book a Truth & Clarity Session with a member of my team. We’ll discuss where you are in your marriage and explore if there’s a fit for you and I to work together so you can make - and execute - the RIGHT decision for YOU and your marriage.
