Decisions, Desire & Depletion episodes

  • I say yes when I mean no - the people-pleaser trap

    In this episode we dig into what really sits underneath people-pleasing in relationships you don't even want to be in — the fear of honesty, the reflex to outsource validation, and the way labels like 'people pleaser,' 'avoidant,' or 'narcissist' can flatten the real work instead of doing it. We talk about the gap between naming a pattern and actually changing it, why over-identifying with self-awareness can stall healing, and how community and online advice can quietly become another form of external validation. Then we get into what a grounded remedy actually looks like: coming back to your own inner voice, asking the more honest questions beneath the label, and making clearer decisions from there.

  • I love him but I don't want to have sex with him anymore
    In this episode we unpack what's really going on beneath 'compromise sex' — how rejection, pressure, and unspoken resentment lock couples into a destructive cycle, and why weekly obligation can preserve the routine while destroying safety and desire. We get honest about why so many couples wait until crisis to face sexual breakdown: the shame, the silence, and the social conditioning that keeps the conversation locked shut.
