In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, Katie tackles a question that many long-term couples eventually face but few feel safe admitting: “Should I stay, or should I go?”

Whether you’ve whispered it in your mind or said it out loud during a fight, this question often arises not because your relationship is doomed—but because you’re evolving. Katie invites listeners to look beyond the surface of dissatisfaction and ask deeper, more personal questions about happiness, identity, and the cost of compromise.

You’ll learn:

  • Why this question doesn’t always mean you need to leave your partner
  • The hidden reasons we feel discontent—even when life looks “fine”
  • How overwhelm, control, and people-pleasing create silent resentment
  • What you might really be asking yourself beneath “Should I stay?”
  • How to tell the difference between growth-pain and deal-breakers

Through raw personal stories and powerful client reflections, Katie shines a light on how easily we lose ourselves in long-term relationships, especially when life is full of caregiving, stress, and endless responsibilities. This episode is a compassionate wake-up call and a guide for anyone standing at an emotional crossroads.

In This Episode, Katie Shares:

A mindset shift around the “stay or go” question
Why avoidance of reflection leads to deeper relational divides
How unspoken compromises can breed quiet resentment
Why it's easier to blame your partner than sit with your own evolution
Journal prompts to help you explore what you’ve lost, what you miss, and what you want to reclaim

Listener Homework:
📝 Ask yourself:

  • What parts of me have I lost in this relationship?
  • What do I miss about myself?
  • Where have I over-compromised or stayed silent?
  • What do I truly want for the next decade of my life?
