Solo episode.

We just got back from Costa Rica sand, surrounded by jungle air and ocean breeze, where DP recently said "I do" to the woman who has stood beside him through uncertainty and joy alike. This transformative experience has sparked deeper reflections on what marriage truly means beyond the ceremony itself.

While most relationship advice centers on communication, I've discovered something more profound: the gap between saying and doing. How many relationships suffer because someone consistently makes promises they never fulfill? These empty words eventually become white noise—comfortable sounds that fill space but lack substance. If someone repeatedly tells you they'll change without following through, recognize this pattern as the red flag it truly is.

This doesn't mean abandoning your authentic self for someone else. There's a critical distinction between changing qualities that bring you joy and improving behaviors that help you show up better in relationships. When someone special highlights areas where growth would strengthen your connection, that's not about changing who you are—it's about becoming more conscious of how your actions affect those you love.
