In this raw and honest episode, I open up about what happens when personal growth creates distance in a marriage. I share my own journey of evolving while my partner stayed the same, and the painful realization that sometimes love isn't enough when you're no longer moving in the same direction.
**In This Episode:**
- The moment I realized we were on different paths
- Why personal growth can feel like betrayal to your partner
- The guilt of wanting more than what your marriage offers
- Signs you've outgrown your relationship
- Can a marriage survive when only one person is doing the work?
- How to navigate the hard conversations about compatibility
- When staying becomes more painful than leaving
This episode is for anyone who's ever felt stuck between honoring their growth and honoring their vows. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is let go.
