Welcome to Episode 3 of Fuck the Rules of Love! 💫

This week, we’re unpacking Rule #3: I shouldn’t have to ask - that unspoken expectation that your partner should just know what you need, when you need it. Spoiler: he can’t read your mind, and expecting him to will only leave you frustrated.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
✨ Why comparing real life to romance novels, fairy tales, and movies sets unrealistic expectations for love
✨ How unspoken expectations can create resentment and disconnect in your relationships
✨ Why learning to ask, communicate, and receive is actually a sign of strength, not weakness
✨ How self-protective mechanisms can sneak in and make you feel undeserving of attention, care, or love

This episode is raw, real, and perfectly imperfect - no sugarcoating, just honest reflection to help you step into your power, communicate clearly, and reclaim control over your relationship.
