Welcome back to The Happy Wife Mentor Podcast!   In this episode, Jenny dives deep into a common struggle for many wives — hyper independence — and how it silently creates distance in marriage. You’ll discover why that “I’ll just do it myself” mindset feels safe but actually blocks connection, disrupts polarity, and keeps your husband from stepping into his masculine role. Jenny shares her personal journey of realizing how independence rooted in self-protection can unintentionally build walls instead of bridges — and how she learned to soften without losing her strength. You’ll walk away with practical steps to practice feminine receptivity, express vulnerability in healthy ways, and make space for your husband to lead.   What you’ll learn: What hyper independence looks like in marriage (and where it comes from) How it disrupts masculine and feminine polarity Why being “strong” all the time can lead to emotional distance How to soften without feeling weak or losing your power Simple ways to express needs and desires vulnerably How practicing feminine receptivity restores balance and connection If you’ve been feeling exhausted, carrying too much, or like your husband has checked out — this episode is for you.    Chapters: 00:43 Episode Introduction 01:37 What Hyper Independence Looks Like 03:53 Why Hyper Independence Disrupts Polarity 05:27 How to Soften Without Losing Your Strength 07:56 Practice Feminine Receptivity 08:53 Reflection & Recap   📩 Connect with Jenny.
