Feeling stuck in your relationship? Like things are off, disconnected, or just… heavy? You're not alone. Relationship ruts are common — and they're often more about what's bleeding into the relationship (stress, burnout, life overload) than about the relationship itself.

For those in anxious-avoidant dynamics, these ruts can feel especially charged. The anxious partner often wants to fix it, while the avoidant may feel overwhelmed or pressured — leading to even more distance.

In this episode, I share 3 powerful shifts to help you move out of a rut and back into connection:

  • Shift your focus to what is working — Appreciation and warmth go further than criticism.
  • Reconnect through something light — Play, fun, and novelty can do what words sometimes can’t.
  • Tend to your own world — Reclaim your centre so the relationship doesn’t carry the full weight of your wellbeing.
