Episode 4: Silent Sabotage, Self-Growth & a Spicy Paloma Spritz

from Therapy for the Pour · host Felicia Howell

In this episode of Therapy for the Pour, we sip on a Spicy Paloma Spritz and unpack a Reddit AITA story about self-growth, passive resistance, and the quiet ways support can turn into sabotage. When one partner’s attempt to get back into the gym repeatedly turns into conflict, it becomes clear the issue isn’t fitness — it’s insecurity, control, and fear of change.This episode dives into the difference between reasons and excuses, how minimizing a partner’s experience creates resentment, and why wanting to better yourself doesn’t make you the villain. Because sometimes unpacking chaos takes therapy — and sometimes, a drink is a hell of a lot cheaper.
