When your partner asks for space, what are they really stepping away from, and how long should you wait before reaching out?

If you’ve been stuck in limbo, quietly wondering if silence means it’s really over… this one’s for you. In this deeply-requested rebroadcast, we’re breaking down one of the most agonizing questions in modern relationships:

“How do I restart the conversation without pushing them further away?”

You’ll learn the surprising real reason people ask for space (hint: it’s not usually about you), how to know when it’s time to reach out, and what to actually say when you do. We’ll also unpack why most advice on this topic misses the mark, and how to avoid sabotaging your shot at reconnection.

This episode isn’t about playing games or waiting around. It’s about honoring space with purpose, regaining your emotional footing, and communicating in a way that’s grounded, respectful, and real.

Whether it’s your first time hearing this conversation or your third, there’s wisdom here you’re ready to hear differently now.
