Description

Ever felt like you and your partner were just coexisting more like roommates than a couple? In this episode, we talk about how stress quietly chips away at connection, turning love into logistics. From burnout and emotional overload to petty arguments about dishes, we explore how the weight of daily life can create emotional distance and what we’re doing to come back to each other.

We share honest moments from our own relationship, including the dumbest fights we’ve had (yes, cabinet doors were involved) and what those small blowups really meant underneath. We also talk about the tools we’re learning to use when we feel disconnected because sometimes the problem isn’t each other, it’s the stress talking.

Whether you’re in a tough season or just feeling off with your partner, this one’s for you.
