概要
How do you change a long-standing pattern in your marriage without just giving in to keep the peace? How do you stay true to yourself and stay connected, especially when conflict is high?
Last week, I shared why setting clear expectations often backfires and creates more resentment than resolution. This week, Brent joins me to bring that concept to life with a real, raw story from our own marriage.
We unpack a big fight over a red light, and how it became a hinge point for shifting out of old dynamics. You’ll hear what it looked like when expectations weren’t met, the frustration that followed, and how we moved toward something more honest, self-authored, and connected.
We talk about:
- The difference between yielding to pressure vs. making aligned choices
- Why emotional regulation (not anger or withdrawal) builds real trust
- What it actually takes to interrupt long-standing patterns, without losing yourself
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of pursuing, distancing, people-pleasing, or silent resentment, this conversation will show you a new way through.
