Psychological safety is essential in all relationships, but in marriage, it’s sacred. It’s more than love—it’s refuge. A space where masks come off, truth is safe, and even in conflict, your heart is held, not harmed. Without it, love becomes performance. With it, love becomes home.
In this episode with my biz bestie Dr. Maiysha Clairborne, we talk about what it means to feel safe in your relationship—emotionally, mentally, and psychologically. Dr. Maiysha explains the key signs of psychological safety, why it matters in intimate relationships, and how to trust what your body is telling you when something feels off. If you’ve ever wondered why you struggle to speak up or feel unseen in your relationship, this conversation is for you.
