Subscribe To The Podcast

Let’s talk romantic relationships. Most importantly – how to have a healthy and connected relationship that support your growth and healing.

You can be doing all the inner work – healing your relationship with food, building self-trust, trying to feel more grounded in your body…

But if your relationship feels disconnected, heavy, or misaligned? It can quietly stall your healing in ways you might not even notice.

In today’s powerful convo, I’m joined by Libby Finlayson, a master mindset and relationship coach who goes deep on the emotional patterns that quietly unravel our health, self-worth, and connection.

We talk about the things that aren’t always easy to say out loud: the resentment that builds up, the moments you find yourself “mothering” your partner, the fear of outgrowing someone you once loved deeply.

Inside, we chat about:

Why your relationship absolutely plays a role in your food and body healing
The health cost of staying in disconnection (aka the “silent divorce”)
How resentment builds (and what to do about it)
Why “over-managing” your partner creates more harm than good
How to feel empowered even if your partner isn’t growing with you
Navigating divorce, shame, and coming back home to yourself
What to say when you don’t know how to say it

This one’s a must-listen for anyone craving more connection, ease, and emotional safety in their relationships.
