We’ve all heard those familiar phrases when it comes to starting a new relationship: ‘when you know you know’, but what if you start a new relationship or you’re already in a partnership and you don’t instantly know that this person is ‘the one’?

For some reason, we’ve been tricked into believing that once we meet someone and get into a relationship, that we will live ‘happily ever after’ and things will just nicely slot into place. Add to this the fact we are bombarded with an array of different opinions on relationships such as ‘when you know you know’, it’s no wonder that when people start to have any doubts or questions in their relationship, they don’t know where to turn.

In this week’s guest episode, I have invited life coach Sarah Yudkin on to talk about a topic that I don’t think gets nearly enough airtime: relationship anxiety.

We dive into so many interesting topics, including:

how to know if it’s anxiety or incompatibility?

what to do (and what not to do) if you experience doubts in your relationship

how relationship anxiety shows up and how it can affect you

whether age affects anxious feelings in a relationship

the topic of settling and what it means to ‘settle’ in a relationship

‘the grass is greener’ syndrome that we can experience when we are single or in a partnership

Sarah is such a source of wisdom on this topic, based on her own personal journey of feeling anxious, doubtful, and uncertain in her own relationship to feeling a deeper sense of commitment, fulfillment, and optimism than she dreamed was possible.

Since then, she has helped over 750 people from 35 countries through online coaching, courses, and webinars.The You Love and You Learn online community consists of over 220,000 people on a journey to show up more intentionally in their relationships.
