In this passionate conversation, I dive into two big themes that show up in almost every relationship struggle: respect and expectations. The truth is, respect isn’t something to demand or wait around for. It starts with how you show up for yourself. And expectations? They’re often just setups for frustration and disappointment.

Instead, I invite you to shift toward what I call “respectations”, a mindset where mutual respect replaces the pressure to control outcomes. When everyone’s focused on the common desired outcome and honors their own process to get there, things flow better. It’s not about doing things the same way , it’s about getting to the same place with respect leading the way.
