Summary

This is an episode for anyone who is at the cusp of counseling or is negotiating a power struggle in their relationship. I think for a lot of people it can be hard to know if you are happy or if you want to stay, or if you are actually ready to leave a relationship. It’s one of those things that requires a lot of talk and reflection, and it gets even more complicated because of how interwoven it is with everything in your life as an individual. Relationships are hard, and if you want them to work long-term they take a lot of maintenance, work and also introspection. A lot of the time keeping them healthy means voicing your issues and being strong enough to walk away if it requires that. This is an episode that is mostly tools. I wrote it for anyone who is in a difficult relationship situation. Maybe you are thinking of getting counseling or you are currently in a power struggle. And it’s tailored to codependents and those of us who get stuck in the swallowing our needs, feeling if we just try hard enough EVENTUALLY we will get the love and respect we crave.

0:30.2	Hi friends, it's Sarah May, and this is an episode.
0:45.6	I don't know what to call it quite yet, but it's all about relationships and for anyone

0:58.1	debating whether or not to get counseling or maybe you're in a power struggle in that
1:01.5	relationship and you're just not super happy but you're kind of ambivalent about what to do.
1:06.6	And I would say this is definitely targeted toward my fellow co-dependent out there or people
1:11.2	who get stuck in that role of kind of second-guessing your own needs, you know, or I guess if you have
