Do you know what you really want in life or are you just reacting to whatever comes your way?

Do you do things because they actually strengthen you or because some guy on a podcast said you should do them?

And how can we get out of autopilot to begin the process of forging our own path?

Today we dig into a question that scares a lot of people: What do you want? So many of us are firefighting, reacting, or quietly living a “prescribed life” and then wondering why we feel chronically trapped, drained, isolated, or out of alignment. Is there another way? Can we find and follow a different compass heading without blowing up everything we care about? Let’s find out.

Do you care more about the relationship than your partner does?

Does it seem like something else is getting their attention?

And are your efforts to create time together actually pushing them away?

Today Alyson and I talk about what it means when one partner is always busy or distracted. We explore why pushing for more connection can actually drive them away and why choosing to be busy may sometimes mean they’re just not that into you.

Are you afraid of being trapped in a sexless marriage?

Does your partner treat sex like it’s just another chore?

And what are the ways you’re killing your sex life without even knowing it?

Today Alyson and I discuss sex — or the lack of sex — in long term relationships. We identify some of the ways we unconsciously kill attraction, what might truly be in the way, and why avoiding the issue just makes it worse.

Why does talking about money with your partner feel so loaded?

Why can financial conversations turn into full-blown fights?

And what if the real issue isn’t money at all?

In this episode, Alyson and I explore why finances are one of the biggest sources of stress — and even breakups — in relationships. We talk about how money has tested our own marriage, the hidden meanings we attach to it, and what shifts when we start to see what money truly represents for each of us.

Why do so many guys turn into neutered, “yes dear” pushovers?

And could all this talk about masculine and feminine energy be a big distraction?

Do you have someone in your life that, no matter what you do, it’s always your fault?

Do you often walk on eggshells, worried the next thing you say will set them off?

And at what point does “difficult” cross the line into a personality disorder?

Today, Alyson and I dive into one of the toughest, most confusing topics in relationships: personality disorders. Borderline, narcissistic, and other disorders can be hard to spot, until it’s too late. We’ll break down the red flags to watch for, the patterns that make these relationships so draining, and, most importantly, how to protect yourself when someone else’s behavior is dominating your life.
