Summary
If your ex's words say one thing but their actions say another and you keep replaying every text, conversation, and mixed signal trying to "figure it out", this episode is for you. In this episode, I break down why confusion isn't a sign of love or depth, it's a defense against a harder emotion your brain doesn't want to feel yet and how it quietly drains your agency, momentum, and self-trust. If you're tired of overanalyzing your ex instead of moving your life forward and you want clarity you can actually act on, this episode will help you drop the confusion and take your power back.

| 0:55.9 | obsessed. What happened though is we actually have Braveheart submit questions ahead of time |
| 1:03.9 | and we do that to make sure to get all of their answers to them, all the questions answered. |
| 1:10.4 | And what I have noticed is a theme |
| 1:13.9 | and many of the questions being asked. And I wanted to talk about it here on the podcast. So the |
| 1:19.7 | theme or the pattern at play that I'm seeing is that overall, like this happened in so many |
| 1:25.7 | scenarios that were shared this week, my ex is saying |
| 1:29.3 | one thing. |
| 1:30.5 | And then my ex does something very different than the words being spoken about. |
| 1:36.3 | And therefore, I'm confused on what action I should take next. |
| 1:43.1 | And there were so many flavors of it. |
| 1:46.9 | It was like, oh, my ex said, you know, that they still wanted to be with me, but then |
| 1:53.2 | their actions say that they don't. |
| 1:55.9 | Or my ex says that they don't want to be with me. |
| 1:59.8 | And then their actions kind of look the opposite |
