Jim Bacarro and Saab Magalona started one of the first local podcasts back in 2018. From debates about trashy reality shows to talking about the importance of voter registration, they have cultivated quite an engaged community who have dubbed them their /podparents/. Jim and Saab may be the ones doing the talking but they definitely make their listeners feel heard.

#239: Stop Choosing Silence: Skills that Save Relationships Under Pressure
Manage episode 504928209 series 2926563
Content provided by Staci Bartley, Relationship Expert, Staci Bartley, and Relationship Expert. All podcast content including episodes, graphics, and podcast descriptions are uploaded and provided directly by Staci Bartley, Relationship Expert, Staci Bartley, and Relationship Expert or their podcast platform partner. If you believe someone is using your copyrighted work without your permission, you can follow the process outlined here https://podcastplayer.com/legal.
When a partner says they need space, most of us freeze, wait, and hope, until reality lands like a punch in the gut. In this episode, Staci, Tom, and Brooke unpack the “default option”: the unconscious choices (shutting down, chasing, over-explaining, policing “boundaries”) that slowly erode connection. You’ll learn why love isn’t the problem, missing skills are, and how simple, repeatable practices (regulating your body, translating feelings into words, reaching for repair) interrupt panic and create safety. We walk through a real couple’s story (Mark & Maggie) to show the shift from defensiveness to steady reconnection, and we introduce Action-Reward Pricing for the 30-Day Roadmap, built to get you out of limbo now, not “someday.” Plus: a playful “Default Flip Interrupt” you can try today, and the Song of the Week to get you moving when anxiety pins you down.
Key Takeaways
- The “default option” = waiting, pretending, spiraling, and silent drift. It chooses you when you don’t choose skills.
- Love isn’t broken; the missing pieces are conflict skills, emotional regulation, repair, and agreements.
- Regulation first, words second: calm your body before you speak (or you’ll weaponize your words).
- Consistency builds trust; wobbling between calm and chaos erodes it.
- Tiny, repeatable moves, nervous system resets, clear asks, humble repair, change the day-to-day.
