This week, Ashley digs into the #1 holiday mistake lesbians make in relationships: expecting your partner to magically know what you need without ever saying it. Silent agreements, childhood patterns, love languages, and holiday pressure all collide this time of year — and it’s easy to project your needs instead of communicating them.

We talk about why mind-reading expectations create resentment, how to actually choose partners aligned with your energy, and what to let go of as we wrap up the final days of 2025’s Year of the Snake.

Short, sharp, and holiday-ready — this episode is your reminder to communicate clearly, give people grace, and stop expecting psychic abilities from your girlfriend.

This week on Your Southern Lesbian, host Ashley Hydrick dives deep into one of the biggest myths in breakup recovery: the idea that “time heals all wounds.”

If you’ve been replaying your breakup, obsessing over your ex, or waiting for time to magically do the work… this episode is your turning point.

Ashley breaks down:

• What healing actually is — a shift in perspective, not a countdown

• The truth about your shadow side and how it shapes your relationships

• How to stop attracting wound mates and start attracting alignment

• Why chaos can feel like chemistry (and how to tell the difference)

• How your nervous system signals the truth before your mind does

• Why you can’t manifest new love with yesterday’s energy

• How to understand your patterns, triggers, and inner-child wounds

• And the steps to finally evolve beyond your past relationships

Whether you’re a lesbian healing from a breakup, exploring shadow work, navigating queer dating, or rebuilding your self-worth after a painful relationship — this episode gives you tools, perspective, and the community support you didn’t know you needed.
