Show Notes:

Have you ever felt lonely inside your relationship? Like you're doing all the emotional heavy lifting—asking, explaining, softening, fixing—while your partner stays distant, quiet, or shut down?

Imagine if you could stop chasing connection… and still feel close. Imagine setting boundaries without blowing up your relationship. Imagine finally understanding that you're not "too much"—you're just asking for what every human needs: safety, connection, and truth.

In this episode, we're talking about emotionally shut down (or emotionally avoidant) partners—where it comes from, why it hurts so much, and how to stop abandoning yourself in the process of trying to keep the peace.

This conversation is especially for the women who learned to be "the good girl," the fixer, the one who doesn't need much—but secretly feels exhausted, resentful, and alone.

Inside this episode, you'll learn:

✔️ Why emotionally shut down partners aren't cold or heartless—they're protecting themselves ✔️ How childhood roles (hero child, fixer, self-sufficient one) shape adult relationships ✔️ The difference between attunement and codependency—and why monitoring your partner's emotions is costing you ✔️ What doesn't work with emotionally avoidant partners (and why chasing creates more distance) ✔️ How asserting yourself clearly actually creates more safety, not less ✔️ Why boundaries are required for real intimacy—and how to stop seeing them as "mean"

If you've been editing yourself, lowering your needs, or telling yourself you're asking for too much… this episode will meet you right there—and help you shift the pattern without losing yourself.
