Dysfunctional

Mend or Move On? The Hardest Relationship Question, with Kate King


Listen Later

This week on Dysfunctional I’m joined by Kate King, author of Mend or Move On.


We talk about the question so many people live inside for years: should I stay and try to repair this relationship, or should I move on and finally choose myself?


In this episode we get into:


Why “mending” gets glorified and “moving on” gets shamed

The 3 signs a relationship is genuinely toxic (not just difficult)

Why leaving is rarely the “easy option” and what can escalate after you go

Nervous system truth: you can’t regulate in an unsafe environment

Needs vs “needy”, reciprocity, and reclaiming autonomy


Kate’s book Mend or Move On is out now -
