Dear Dr. Tracy

Resentment and the Micro Moments: The Mug Left Beside the Counter


Listen Later

In this episode, Dr. Tracy shares a personal story about a mug left beside the sink—and how something so small can symbolize something much bigger in a relationship. Sitting with her husband, Greg, they explore how resentment builds in everyday moments, especially during busy seasons like summer when couples often shift into "roommate mode."

They talk about:

  • How micro-moments can quietly erode connection

  • Why summer often intensifies disconnection

  • The importance of naming resentment before it explodes

  • How to feel more like a team

    This episode is for anyone feeling unseen, emotionally overloaded, or stuck in the day-to-day.
