Are you in a relationship where someone is technically present, but emotionally checked out? In this powerful and honest episode, Alison is joined by her husband Aaron to unpack the truth about low effort relationships and how they quietly drain your energy, self-worth, and sense of connection.

Together, they explore what low effort really looks like in marriages, friendships, family dynamics, and even your relationship with yourself. From surface-level conversations and emotional disengagement to people-pleasing, over-giving, and unmet needs, this episode helps you identify the patterns that keep you stuck and shows you what high effort, high value relationships actually feel like.

You'll learn:

• How to spot the signs of a low effort relationship
• Why childhood patterns shape what you tolerate as an adult
• The difference between physical presence and emotional attunement
• How resentment, exhaustion, and "keeping score" signal deeper issues
• What small, intentional effort looks like in healthy relationships
• How self-worth determines the relationships you attract and keep

If you've ever left an interaction feeling unseen, unfulfilled, or emotionally flat or you're wondering whether you might be the one holding back, this conversation will give you clarity, language, and a powerful perspective shift.

This episode is for anyone craving deeper connection, emotional safety, and relationships that actually feel nourishing instead of draining.
