What if the biggest reason your relationship feels hard... is because of what you thought it should look like?
In this episode of Relationship Reset: Reignite, Reconnect, Rebuild, I’m diving deep into the five biggest misconceptions that quietly sabotage long-term relationships—especially for high-achieving couples.
We’ve been fed a romanticized version of love through movies, books, social media, and even our own families. But the truth? A thriving, lasting relationship doesn’t just happen. It’s built—with awareness, intention, humility, and a whole lot of self-reflection.
You’ll hear:
- Why “compatibility” doesn’t mean “conflict-free”
- The truth about regression (spoiler: it’s not failure)
- Why it’s supposed to take work—and what kind
- The danger of “it would be easier with someone else” thinking
- How your career success doesn’t translate to emotional fluency
- What it really means to make lasting progress in your relationship
Plus, I’ll challenge you with three powerful reflection questions to bring this episode into real-life conversations with your partner.
Whether you’ve been together 10 years or 25, this is a loving reality check that will help you shift your mindset and start building the kind of connection you actually want.
