I Shut Down Again… and He Shut Down Too!
What happens when both partners go quiet—not out of apathy, but out of overwhelm?
In this vulnerable episode, Blaze shares a quiet but powerful story about mutual shutdown in ND love. You’ll hear what it really means when both people retreat, and how moments of reconnection can start with just a breath, a hand, or a whispered truth.
This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt the ache of emotional silence—and wondered if connection was still possible.
