Summary

This week in a special episode I wanted to discuss some really challenging and common questions I receive. To make the “right” decisions in love is challenging. There are so many layers of conditioning which not only shape our fears, but also limit what we think we’re capable of. First, we look at whether we should leave when the passion dies, and why is it that passion often fades in long term relationships?! Next, we dive further into the subject of emotional unavailability. We explore the deeper levels of “friends with benefits”, as well as the fear of asking about our relationship status. And finally, we chat about inconsistent texting and what a lack of someone replying can mean. These are some of the most important questions that so many of us struggle with, join me!

Oh, sorry, that was my phone falling. I don't know what it is. Let's get up on this, right? It's fun to go live, isn't it? So the first question, to stay or go. How do you know when breaking up is the answer? I love my boyfriend deeply.

He says he wants to make it work, but there's never any effort from either of us.
