Caller Austin: is a former only child and grandchild who has experienced the pressure of performing for his family in order to receive love. He is now trying to find a balance between undersharing and oversharing with his fiancee in order to create trust, safety, and a healthy relationship.

"It's more important to be trusted than to be loved. And what that's really saying is that I can't really fully be loved unless I'm seen. And the way that I'm seen is by being honest and being transparent and being authentic with who I am."
