370. When You Hit the Relational Wall

This week, we’re talking about hitting a relational wall—you know, when you love the people in your life but also kind of can’t stand being around them? Yep, that one. It’s one of the hardest walls to face because we’re only half of the equation, and it can feel messy, exhausting, and honestly, pretty lonely. In this episode, I open up about how I’ve navigated relational shutdown, what Proverbs says about gentle answers (and why gentleness isn’t weakness), and the tools I use to move toward connection without losing myself. I’ll show you how to write the message you won’t regret, ask better questions that invite instead of accuse, and set boundaries that protect without punishing.
