Ever felt like you can’t tell if you’re ready to leave or just desperate for something to change?
In this raw and revealing conversation, I sit down with Dr. Becky Whetstone, also known as the “Marriage Crisis Manager,” to talk about what really happens when a relationship hits the point of "I think I want out." Whether you're in the middle of a marriage meltdown or quietly questioning everything, this episode is packed with insight, validation, and surprising hope. We talk about the nervous system’s role in emotional shutdown, why a separation doesn’t have to mean the end, and how responsiveness in a partner can make or break a relationship. Dr. Becky also shares her own story of starting over at 42 and why it’s never too late to grow emotionally and reclaim your sense of self.

You might want to listen if:

  • You feel emotionally neglected and aren't sure how much more you can take
  • You're thinking about separation but don’t know what that actually means
  • You’ve been told you’re too emotional or too much in your marriage
  • You’re the only one doing the work and it’s making you question everything
  • You’ve wondered if your marriage is worth saving but don’t know where to start
