This episode centers on two powerful listener emails — one from a man afraid his insecurity is destroying a healthy relationship, and another from a woman untangling herself from a four-year situationship filled with hidden children, heartbreak, miscarriages, and blurred co-parenting lines.
We talk honestly about trust, emotional safety, soul-ties, red flags, and why some relationships can’t be prayed into health.
Around the emails, we also share a hilarious family moment involving an accidental birds-and-bees talk at dinner, and a quick update on the book tour and Patreon goals.
This one is vulnerable, grounded, and full of clarity for anyone trying to love better and choose wiser.
