Summary
If you’ve ever thought, “I know something needs to change… but I don’t know how without making things worse,” this episode is for you.
In this conversation, Brent and I talk about why it feels so difficult to break patterns in your marriage, even when you can clearly see they’re not working.
I share what it actually looked like to start changing my own behavior without any guarantee that Brent would change his. That “free fall” phase? It’s real. And it’s where most people turn back.
We talk about:
- Why the “known hard” feels safer than the unknown
- How the ego keeps you stuck in control (and conflict)
- The difference between real growth and subtle manipulation
- Why trying to get your partner to change backfires
- What it actually means to “clean up your side of the street”
This episode will challenge the way you think about change in your relationship and give you a more grounded, honest path forward.
If you’re ready to stop managing your partner and start creating real change, this is the work.
