S1 EP42 The Irregularity of Growth


Listen Later

Can two people really grow together at the same rate? And what happens when they don't?

This week, Dr. Teresa Reyes Castillo and Silvana Deigan tackle one of the hardest truths about relationships: people change at different speeds, in different directions, and sometimes that means growing apart.

They explore what it actually means to "outgrow" someone. When does growth require compromise? When does it require leaving? And how do you know the difference?

Silvana opens up about the slow emotional distance that crept into her marriage - the moment she realized they were good friends who didn't need to be married anymore. Teresa shares her wake-up call about staying in a relationship she never even considered changing.

You'll also hear:

  • The infamous Valentine's Day dinner where Silvana's lack of filter changed everything
  • Why the garage became a breaking point (spoiler: it wasn't about parking)
  • The cultural programming that keeps us stuck in "forever" thinking
  • How to tell if you're growing together or just growing comfortable


This episode gets real about the messy middle of relationships. The space between "we can work on this" and "it's time to let go."

Give yourself permission to grow at your own pace - even if that means growing in a different direction.
