This week’s episode dives into some raw and relatable relationship struggles that many of us grapple with behind closed doors. We’ll listen to Liz’s story of battling guilt and shame after feeling responsible for her boyfriend’s eviction from his friend group’s apartment, and we’ll hear from Otillia, who is facing the painful aftermath of discovering that the person she’d been dating was hiding a pregnant girlfriend. These listener stories open the door to real, unfiltered discussions on navigating the tough moments that can make or break our self-worth and trust in others.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• How to rebuild confidence after hurtful feedback and regain a sense of self
• Practical ways to cope with feelings of guilt and shame without losing yourself in them
• Managing social anxiety and finding ease when meeting new people in your partner’s life
• Approaches to building authentic relationships with a partner’s friends without overextending
• Moving forward after experiencing betrayal and the shock of infidelity

Through these stories, we’ll reflect on ways to strengthen our emotional resilience and deepen our understanding of ourselves in love and relationships. Whether you’re navigating guilt, trust, or the challenge of building new connections, this episode offers insights and support for the journey.
