Every long-term relationship has its silent struggles—those big, painful conversations that get buried instead of resolved.

In this deeply honest episode, Steph & Craig open up about the emotional weight of those unspoken issues, how they’ve finally found the courage to face them, and what it really takes to heal long-standing relationship wounds.

Through raw storytelling and real-time reflection, they explore:
✔️ Why some topics feel too dangerous to talk about
✔️ How dissociation and the “shadow” protect us when we’re not ready
✔️ What it looks like to practice emotional regulation in high-stakes conversations
✔️ The power of listening without needing to fix
✔️ Why validation—not solutions—is often the key to healing

Whether you're in a committed partnership, working through past baggage, or exploring how to communicate better, this episode offers a vulnerable look into what relationship healing actually requires—and how much love is possible when you finally feel safe.
