Summary

I’m joined by Sharon Pope, Certified Master Life Coach and Relationship Expert, and we’re getting into why women often leave relationships emotionally way before they physically do, how to rebuild self-trust, and what it takes to get clarity when you’re stuck in the “should I stay or go?” spiral. We even discuss the topic of infidelity, and what it actually looks like to repair after betrayal. Sharon works with people who are stuck in the “What the hell do I do with this relationship?” phase. Whether that means healing it, improving it, or walking away from it. Whether you're married, dating, single, or “it's complicated,” this conversation is one you’re going to want to hear. You’ll hear us talk about: Why women often leave relationships mentally years before they leave physically (what Sharon calls “the quiet quit”) (6:12) Self-trust: what it is, how to build it, and why it matters (11:16) How to have hard conversations with more ease—where do you even begin? (27:46) Finding clarity around whether to stay or go in a marriage (33:58) What happens when someone cheats? Can the relationship be salvaged? (Hint: Sharon says, “You have to be willing to do the work…”) (37:07) Resources: Rythmia Retreat Andrea on Instagram @heyandreaowen My Ketamine Therapy Journey secret podcast series Episode 671: Life Lesson 10 on Growth Isn’t Linear, And That’s the Whole Damn Point Episode 432: CASTMWUP: Andrea and Amy on profound humiliation and its impact Sharon’s website Sharon’s free video course: Calming Your Constant Marriage Indecision Book recommendations: I love a good personal development book, and you do too, right?
