We’ve all been there—your partner is right beside you, saying all the right things, but somehow… you can’t feel them.
In this deep and tender episode, Mike and Courtney explore why it’s hard to receive love, even when it’s right in front of us. They reveal the hidden forces—like our negativity bias and survival wiring—that keep us stuck in complaint, disconnection, and old stories, and share how to move back into felt connection.
