Have you ever caught yourself becoming a smaller version of yourself just to keep someone around?
We've been there.
This week, we sat down with relationship coach Emily Gough, featured on Forbes and ThriveGlobal, for a conversation that challenged the way we think about trust, boundaries, intuition, and the subtle ways we lose ourselves while trying to love other people.
We talk about the habits that seem harmless—being "easygoing," avoiding conflict, second-guessing your gut—but slowly chip away at your self-trust. And how learning to choose yourself isn't selfish... it's the foundation for every healthy relationship you'll ever have.
Emily shares her own journey through heartbreak, betrayal, and rebuilding, along with the lessons she wishes she'd learned sooner.
Inside the episode, we explore:
- How to tell the difference between intuition and fear
- Why boundaries actually create deeper connection
- The sneaky ways self-abandonment shows up in everyday life
- What it really looks like to build trust with yourself
Whether you're single, dating, married, healing, or simply becoming more yourself, this conversation is full of the kind of reminders we all need.
Emily is the host of the Room to Grow podcast and a relationship coach who brings honesty, warmth, and real-life wisdom to every conversation. This one felt like sitting down with a friend who tells you exactly what you need to hear—with a lot of laughs along the way.
