Do you ever feel like sharing your feelings with your spouse only leads to defensiveness, frustration, or being completely misunderstood? Like you’re trying to express something real and vulnerable, but instead you end up managing their reaction or feeling more alone than before? You're not broken (and neither is your marriage) but this episode explains exactly what’s getting in the way of the emotional safety and connection you crave.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through one of the most common (and least talked about) dynamics that makes emotional validation feel impossible in marriage, and how you can change it.

Tune in to discover:

  • What the “I failed” filter is, and how it sabotages connection
  • Why your spouse may not be validating you, even if they think they are
  • A realistic mindset shift around what validation actually looks like
  • The biggest validation trap couples fall into (and how to get out of it)
  • Scripts to use when you want to feel heard, and when your partner needs to feel cared for
