25. Trust Your Gut When Something Isn't Quite Right

Have you ever stayed in a relationship you knew wasn't right, simply because leaving felt more terrifying than staying? That's exactly the journey I'm unpacking in this raw, honest conversation about self-forgiveness and the courage to walk away.Drawing from my personal experience with a relationship that spanned from 2006 to 2009, I share how I ignored my intuition early on, convincing myself that this person was "my soulmate" despite glaring warning signs. We connected through music, shared experiences, and genuine moments of intimacy – but underneath it all, something was fundamentally missing. What made this decision so agonizing wasn't just leaving the relationship itself, but confronting how much precious time I'd invested in something that wasn't serving me. I lacked clear understanding of what love should look like. This relationship represented the "best" I had experienced, even with its obvious flaws.The real transformation came not just in leaving, but in learning to forgive myself for staying too long. If you're holding onto something that's "almost right but not quite," I hope this episode gives you permission to trust your gut and make the change your heart is calling for.Send us Fan MailIf you want the deeper lessons behind strength training, join my newsletter called Between Reps: Building the Unbreakable Woman.
