Every long-term relationship has its silent struggles—those big, painful conversations that get buried instead of resolved.

In this deeply honest episode, Steph & Craig open up about the emotional weight of those unspoken issues, how they've finally found the courage to face them, and what it really takes to heal long-standing relationship wounds.

Through raw storytelling and real-time reflection, they explore: ✔️ Why some topics feel too dangerous to talk about ✔️ How dissociation and the "shadow" protect us when we're not ready ✔️ What it looks like to practice emotional regulation in high-stakes conversations ✔️ The power of listening without needing to fix ✔️ Why validation—not solutions—is often the key to healing

Whether you're in a committed partnership, working through past baggage, or exploring how to communicate better, this episode offers a vulnerable look into what relationship healing actually requires—and how much love is possible when you finally feel safe.
