What do you get when you mix a paddleboard, high expectations, and two humans with emotions?
Definitely not the relaxing date we envisioned. But maybe... a deeper kind of win?

This was not our best date… but maybe it was one of our best recoveries.

We went on a paddleboard date thinking it’d be relaxing and fun—but being stuck on the same board triggered us both in different ways. 

Instead of letting the day spiral, we each practiced managing our own emotions without blaming the other. 

It wasn’t a romantic home run, but it was a huge sign of growth. In this episode, we talk about how emotional flooding can happen even in fun moments—and how the real win is learning to stay connected while dysregulated. 

Because the goal isn’t to never get triggered—it’s to grow in how you show up when you are.
