Nuance Needed

99: How to Have Healthy Relationships with Nedra Tawwab

Listen Later

In this episode of Nuance Needed, host Amanda White is joined by therapist and bestselling author Nedra Tawwab. In conversation they discuss:

  • The gray areas of relationships — where boundaries, connection, and emotional maturity meet.
  • Why so many people are feeling lonelier despite having more “mental health language” than ever before. 
  • How rigid boundaries, misused therapy terms, and avoidance of hard conversations can quietly damage our relationships.
  • Friendship expectations, changing seasons of connection, trauma dumping vs. healthy sharing, and why learning to tolerate discomfort is key to deeper, more sustainable relationships.

    • Nedra Tawwab is a licensed therapist and New York Times bestselling author of Set Boundaries, Find Peace and her new book, The Balancing Act. You can find Nedra on social media @nedratawwab.
