You’ve stayed calm. You’ve picked your battles. You’ve tried to be patient, understanding, forgiving. Maybe you’ve even convinced yourself that if you just hold on a little longer, things will get better.

But deep down, you’re exhausted — and wondering why it still feels like you’re the only one trying.

In today’s episode, we’re unpacking a powerful — and often overlooked — truth about relationships: 👉 Real empathy creates connection. 👉 People-pleasing creates quiet resentment.

If you think doing "everything right" means keeping your partner happy at your own expense, this conversation is for you. We’ll break down:

• Why people-pleasing kills intimacy (even with the best intentions)

• How empathy is about understanding, not self-erasure

• The secret to being a strong partner without abandoning yourself

• What real connection actually requires — even when it's uncomfortable

If you're ready to stop carrying the relationship on your back and start building something real, hit play.

🎧 Let’s talk about why your effort deserves better results — and how to get there.
