[GET THE INTIMACY in 5 MINUTE GUIDE!]
Ever said something totally harmless and watched your partner’s face fall like you just insulted their soul?
You’re not alone.
This episode dives into the invisible gap between what we say and what our partner hears, especially when we’re tired, touched out, and trying to survive modern parenthood.
Because good intentions don’t always translate into connection.
Sometimes, they land as daggers.
Join me as I unpack why even loving words can trigger pain and disconnection.
Drawing from real client stories and practical psychology, we’ll explore why tone, timing, and unspoken emotional baggage matter so much more than we realize.
This isn’t about walking on eggshells.
It’s about building awareness, so your words become bridges instead of battlegrounds.
🎧 Today we explore:
- Why parenting stress amplifies emotional triggers
- How miscommunication happens even with the best intentions
- The 3 invisible factors behind disconnection (tone, timing, trauma)
- How to start responding from empathy instead of defense
- You’ll also walk away with my 3P tool to help you shift from reacting to reconnecting.
Whether you’re the one feeling misunderstood or you’re trying to understand your partner better, this episode is a must-listen for anyone craving closeness after kids.
