Relationship anxiety doesn’t just make you overthink — it takes things from you.

Your confidence.

Your peace.

Your ability to enjoy your relationship.

And for so many people, the anxiety becomes so overwhelming that ending the relationship feels like the only way to get relief.

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the real cost of anxiety and how it silently impacts your relationship even when nothing is actually wrong. We’re talking about:

✨ How anxiety steals your confidence

✨ Why it’s so hard to feel peace around someone you love

✨ How fear becomes the lens you see your partner through

✨ Why so many people consider breaking up just to feel “normal” again

✨ And most importantly… how to silence the internal noise so you can finally breathe

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why can’t I just feel secure?” or “Why does my mind always spiral?”, this episode will make you feel deeply understood — and give you hope for a calmer, more grounded relationship.

You’re not broken.

You’re not alone.

And there is a path back to peace.

Our course Silence the Noise is officially out now!

What happens when two best friends start to fall for each other… but one of them is battling intense relationship anxiety?

In today’s episode, we sit down with Pedro & Aliah, a married couple who went from friends to lovers — and had to navigate fear, doubt, and anxiety to get there.

One partner struggled deeply with relationship anxiety and eventually joined our Relationship Anxiety Group Coaching Program, where they did the inner work, gained clarity, and learned how to move toward connection instead of fear. Their persistence, vulnerability, and commitment to growth led them to choosing each other — fully, confidently, and wholeheartedly.

Now they’ve been happily married for over a year, and they’re sharing their story with you.

In this conversation, we explore:

✨ How their friendship turned into something more

✨ What relationship anxiety looked like behind the scenes

✨ How faith, community, and support made all the difference

✨ The turning points that helped them move toward marriage

✨ Encouragement for couples navigating similar fears

If you or your partner have ever felt scared to choose the relationship — or feared choosing “wrong” — this episode will give you so much hope.

What’s it really like to marry someone who’s been married before… and already has kids?

In this week’s Imperfect Love Stories, we’re talking with Tiph and Andrew — a couple who’ve built something beautiful out of life’s second chances. We talk about the fears, assumptions, and growth that come with blending lives (and families), and what it looks like to let go of “perfect” love so you can embrace real love.

Are you Team Conrad or Team Jeremiah? In this episode, we break down The Summer I Turned Pretty love triangle from the perspective of a marriage and family therapist and relationship anxiety coach.

Joy walks Mathieu (who has never seen the show!) through Belly’s relationships with Conrad and Jeremiah — from first love butterflies to Jeremiah’s cheating to Conrad’s emotional growth and big confession. Together, they explore what real love looks like, why we sometimes sabotage healthy relationships out of fear, and what it takes to build a secure relationship in real life.

Whether you’re a TSITP fan or just trying to figure out your own love life, this episode will help you think differently about chemistry, compatibility, and choosing love even when you feel anxious.

“Does God really take away something you love because He has something better?”

This idea has shaped so much of modern Christian dating culture — but it often creates more fear than freedom. In this episode of When You Don’t Know, we explore the roots of this message, how it fuels relationship anxiety, and what it really means to trust God in love and commitment.

You got married and thought the anxiety would go away—but the doubts are still here.

“What if I made a mistake?”

“What if this wasn’t God’s will?”

In this episode, we talk about why anxiety can show up after marriage, how ROCD and spiritual fears play a role, and why it doesn’t mean you’re in the wrong relationship.

We also share what to do if you’re stuck in anxious spirals—and how to avoid falling into the relationship anxiety trap.

You’re not broken. You’re not alone. And you didn’t ruin your life.

Hope you enjoy!

In this episode, we’re opening up about some of the heavy things we’ve walked through over the past month. Honestly, we almost didn’t share this—but it didn’t feel right to move forward without acknowledging what’s been going on behind the scenes.

Trigger Warning: We talk about loss in this episode. If that feels too tender for you right now, please feel free to skip this one and take care of your heart.

Have you ever heard someone say the person you’re dating might be a counterfeit — someone sent by the enemy to distract you from “God’s best”? 😳

Whether it’s:

    •    A non-Christian labeled a trap 🎯

    •    A “fake Christian” in disguise 😈

    •    Or even a good person who just isn’t your “divine match” 💔…

This teaching has caused so many people to second-guess themselves, spiral in fear, and walk away from good relationships out of anxiety.

In this episode, we’re breaking down where the counterfeit spouse idea comes from, why it’s so harmful, and what a more freeing, peace-filled perspective looks like. If you’ve ever felt stuck in fear that you’ll choose wrong — this one’s for you.

💬 Let’s stop spiritualizing fear and start trusting the God who walks with us in every choice.

In this episode, we explore how idealized expectations around love, faith, and life can lead to anxiety and doubt in your relationship. If your current relationship feels “off” because it doesn’t match what you always imagined, you’re not alone.

We talk about:

• The origin of unrealistic expectations

• How unmet hopes can fuel anxiety and confusion

• Spiritual pressure around “the one” and leadership

• What to do when your dream and your reality don’t align

Unmet expectations don’t always mean something’s wrong—they might just be pointing you toward a more grounded, authentic love.
