Episode notes
We all think we’ll “figure it out later”… until later turns into resentment, confusion, and realizing you ignored the conversations that actually mattered.
In this episode, we’re talking about the real, uncomfortable topics people avoid in relationships — money, control, and power. The stuff that doesn’t come up on date night, but somehow ends up being the reason everything falls apart.
We get into:
- Why money issues aren’t really about money
- The subtle ways control shows up (and why it’s easy to miss at first)
- Power dynamics that can shift a relationship without you even realizing it
- The conversations couples think they don’t need to have yet
- Red flags you probably explained away instead of addressing
- And how avoiding hard talks now can cost you everything later
