Feeling Disconnected: What We’re Learning About Ourselves and Each Other

Sometimes disconnection doesn’t come from conflict—it comes from the quiet buildup of life.

In this episode, we’re unpacking what it looks like to feel distant in a relationship, even when there’s still love, laughter, and good intentions. We’re talking through the emotional weight of parenting, partnership, and ambition—and how all of it can cloud your ability to really see each other.

This isn’t a dramatic breakdown or a picture-perfect breakthrough. It’s a slow, honest conversation about what happens when the connection fades a bit, and how we’re learning to advocate for our individual needs while protecting the “us” in the process.

We’re naming the guilt, the blame, the burnout, and the grace. We’re talking about what it means to want more—not because something is broken, but because we’re still growing.

This one’s real, reflective, and tender. If you’ve ever felt yourself drifting from the person you love most, we hope it helps you feel less alone.
