Why Asking for Romance Feels So Hard (And How to Fix It)

Have you ever felt lonely in your own relationship... longing for romance but afraid to ask for it?

You’re not alone.

So many of us crave connection, but the fear of rejection, disappointment, or even feeling like a burden keeps us silent.

In this episode, Dr. Tracy and her husband Greg dive deep into the emotional weight of longing for more while holding back our true desires. They unpack why asking for romance can feel so vulnerable, how past experiences shape our fears, and the subtle ways resentment builds when needs go unmet.

Dr. Tracy and Greg discuss the steps you can take to break free from this cycle.

This episode offers simple, actionable shifts to express your needs without guilt or fear.

Because you deserve love, effort, and connection in your relationship.
