Conflict isn’t the problem. Staying small to avoid it is.
In this episode, I sit down again with my partner Steve to open the curtain on what actually happens when two recovering-people-pleasers clash, rupture, and then choose to repair.
If you’ve ever swallowed your anger just to keep the peace…
If you’ve ever numbed your needs to stay “lovable”…
If you’ve ever feared that being too much would make him walk away…
then this conversation is for you.
We talk about:
Why disharmony is not the enemy (and how avoiding it kills intimacy)
The messy reality of fighting when abandonment wounds get triggered
How we repair after rupture without bypassing the truth
Why expressing anger and wild emotions actually fuels more intimacy and more pleasure
What men can do to hold a woman’s full emotional range without collapsing or shutting down
It’s raw, unfiltered, and sometimes painfully human. And yet, what comes after the storm is always deeper intimacy, more freedom, and yes, wilder pleasure.
This isn’t a love story painted in pastel tones. It’s the truth about what it takes to love as adults who refuse to abandon themselves anymore.
For the Wide Woman, who feels all and numbs nothing.
