Clear Points From the Episode:

Anxious men overshare because sharing feels like safety.
Avoidant wives pull back because emotional pressure feels unsafe.
Oversharing asks her to regulate your worth, which overwhelms her.
You must learn to hold your progress without handing it to her for approval.
Real growth is lived quietly, not reported loudly.
Your nervous system must learn self-trust before the marriage can heal.

Simple Actions You Can Start Today:

Pause before you share. Ask, “Am I sharing to connect or to feel validated?”
Let your actions speak for you.
Give her space without collapsing inside.
Let God, truth, and identity anchor you instead of her approval.
Soothe your inner child before you reach outward.
Share less. Embody more.
Trust that real change doesn’t need an audience.
