Ever catch yourself saying "just so you know, I know what you COULD be doing" to your partner... even when you're pretty sure they're innocent? In this episode, Shanenn's calling you out when she gets into why we sometimes choose accusation over acceptance, even when our rational brain is screaming the obvious.

THE HEART OF IT

• The moment your logical brain offers the truth (and why we often ignore it)
• Why we feel the need to prove we're "not stupid" in relationships
• The protective pattern of "just so you know I know" statements
• How choosing trust over proof can completely change your relationship

Have you ever noticed that quiet moment before you launch into relationship detective mode? That split second where your mind offers up a perfectly reasonable explanation, yet something pushes you to prove you're not easily fooled? Shanenn breaks down this fascinating pattern and reveals why our need to appear "aware" might actually be working against us.

Through real-life examples, she shows us how these small moments of choice can shift our entire relationship dynamic. Learn why phrases like "just so you know, I know" might be hurting your relationship.  Other topics covered in this episode are:

• The split second when your rational brain offers the logical explanation
• Why proving you're "aware" actually creates more anxiety
• The freedom in choosing not to voice every suspicion
• How tiny choices to trust can lead to massive relationship shifts

TRUTH BOMBS "Your life will be so much calmer, so much happier, and with less anxiety if you make the choice of saying, 'You know what, I'm going to go with this logical explanation.'"
