In Episode 90 of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey dive deep into reclaiming their "Vacation Gone Wrong" from last year. Kicking off with a powerful quote from Lauren's professor and colleague, Dené Logan, “We have been conditioned to believe that love means 'I keep people comfortable at all costs.' That is not love. That is attachment. A lot of times, what we are calling love is not actually loving people! It’s just us attempting to maintain attachments at all costs.” — they reflect on the difference between true love and the need to maintain comfort at all costs. Trey shares how he was stuck in this mindset before their anniversary trip last year, and they open up about how they plan to honor the places where pain occurred.

As they prepare to revisit the same vacation spot, Lauren reveals her practice of rest and their mutual intention to make this vacation their best yet—with a focus on play, pleasure, and resiliency check-ins. Lauren also shares her free worksheet at 16:25 to help listeners take responsibility for their feelings on vacation, while Trey reflects on how last year’s disaster led them to prioritize communication and comfort.

Don't miss the funny, heartfelt, and vulnerable moments, like when Trey talks about the vacation's tragic moments (minute 18:40) and their negotiation of vacation mornings for solo journaling and intimate time (minute 35:16).
