Do you ever find yourself biting your tongue, avoiding conflict, or just pushing your own needs aside to “keep the peace” in your marriage? It might feel like the easier route in the moment, but over time, those unspoken needs can build up—and trust me, they don’t just disappear. They create a hidden cost in your relationship, a cost that slowly erodes connection and leaves you feeling more disconnected than ever.

That’s why I’m beyond excited to share this podcast episode: The Hidden Cost of Avoiding Your Needs in Marriage.

In this episode, I dive into why avoiding those important conversations doesn’t actually keep the peace in your relationship—it just postpones the inevitable. More importantly, I’ll share actionable steps to start expressing your needs in a way that invites deeper connection and understanding with your partner.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, unheard, or just plain tired of the same old patterns, this episode is for you.

Here is a sneak peek of what I cover in this episode:

- How avoiding your needs creates hidden resentment (and how it builds up over time)
- Why unspoken needs eventually lead to emotional disconnect and conflict
- The first step you can take today to express your needs in a healthy, connected way
- Practical tools for starting these conversations with curiosity, compassion, and confidence

Your marriage deserves more than surface-level peace. Let’s dive into the deeper work of building a relationship where you feel heard, valued, and deeply connected.

I’d love to hear your thoughts after you listen, and I can't wait to see how you bring more authenticity into your marriage.
