Episode Description
Ever found yourself tiptoeing around someone else's emotions just to keep things calm? In this episode, I share a story where a grumpy mood from my husband set off a full-blown nervous system response, and how I stopped making it about him and started noticing MYSELF. We talk about how I realized I wasn't a powerless little girl anymore, broke the pattern of emotional caretaking I learned as a child, which childhood survival patterns sneak into your marriage, and why speaking up without exploding gave my whole family a new model for communication.
