Welcome to the podcast! Sara’s wrapped up in jumpers, Anna’s still basking in the Greek sun, and between autumn showers and Mediterranean peaches, we’re diving into the realities of love, life, and expectations.

Love Desk:

Three signs your relationship might have lost its spark (from Psychology Today).

We discuss:

  • When imagining life without your partner feels like relief rather than heartbreak
  • Why exhaustion might not just be about busyness, it could be emotional burnout
  • The quiet loop of “should I stay or should I go?” and what it’s really telling you

Sara and Anna reflect on how love can shift from lightness to heaviness, and how to tell the difference between needing rest and needing change.

Hot Topic: Are we expecting too much from our partners compared to past generations?

We explore:

  • How relationships have evolved from practical partnerships to emotional everything
  • The impossible modern pressure to find “one person who meets every need”
  • Why community and friendships used to carry some of the emotional load
  • How to simplify what really matters, defining your top three non-negotiables instead of chasing a perfect checklist

Listener Question:

“I overheard my husband arguing with our child, and my child was actually in the right. What should I do?”

We unpack how to approach disagreements between your partner and your children, including:

  • Why timing matters, addressing it later, not in the moment
  • How to lead with curiosity, not correction
  • Seeing context before assuming who’s right or wrong
  • Remembering you’re on the same team, even when emotions run high

Takeaway:

Every relationship goes through transitions. The spark doesn’t have to fade if you stay curious, communicate openly, and remember you’re on the same side.
