    Cardi B & Offset: What They Teach Us About Cheating & Modern Relationships

    I’m not here to talk celebrity gossip — I’m here to talk principles. In this episode, I use Cardi B and Offset as a case study for real-life relationship patterns: cheating, accountability, influence, and responsibility. Their story reveals what too many couples go through privately — how we hurt each other, react, and try to rebuild trust in the aftermath. We’ll explore three key interviews: 1️⃣ Offset on Joe Budden — how he avoids the drama but misses key accountability. 2️⃣ Offset on Keke Palmer — where he finally owns his selfishness and the impact of cheating. 3️⃣ Cardi B on Jay Shetty — her reflections on depression, accountability, and faith after betrayal. Along the way, I connect this to principles I’ve shared before in my episode “A Vital Conversation About Responsibility and Accountability.” We’ll talk about how both people influence the dynamic, why accountability matters more than blame, and what it really means to operate with emotional maturity in love. This is for people who really care about handling the complexities of relationships.

    How the Perception–Reality Gap Destroys Connection (and More on the SER Framework)

    I’m sharing one of the most important models in self and relational development — the Perception–Reality Model — and connecting it back to the SER Framework. The P-R concept is a simple, powerful, and a major key to understanding why conversations turn into conflict and how to avoid it. Bottom line is... Perception is not reality. What you see, feel, and believe is shaped by your vantage point. That matters — but it’s not the same as truth. When your perception and reality are out of balance, chaos shows up in your interactions. Learning to check your perspective and expand it creates space for clarity, understanding, and healthier connection. Then we zoom out to the SER Framework — Self-Esteem, Energy, and Responsibility — the foundation for becoming an attractive match and increasing your quality of life as an individual. 👉 Previous Episode --  Models for Self & Relational Development -- Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/boundaries-grace-with-taylor-chandler/id1540127181?i=1000729702954 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2kjxKHyBXLgqsWdaM8wohP?si=6b464a06105d4f8d 👉 Download the model library here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IHPp0mPhKisLmyHdqNtEHufxEdiTyVWvgmAQ08pXm28/edit?usp=sharing 👉 Share the episode and support the channel if this work has helped you!

    8 Models to Evaluate Yourself and Relationships

    In this episode I walk through 8 practical models I use as a licensed marriage and family therapist and personal development coach. These frameworks are designed to help you evaluate yourself and your relationships, make better decisions, and get real results. Each model gives you a simple way to understand patterns, improve communication, and take action. If you’ve been stuck repeating the same problems in your life or relationships, these models will help you see the issues clearly and know what to do next. What you’ll learn: -Ability–Willingness Model: How to identify the real barrier to change -Energy Matrix: Managing your energy so you don’t burn out or overreact -Passive–Aggressive Communication Model: Where your communication style lands and how to adjust it -Chicken–Egg Dynamic: Breaking cycles of blame in relationships -CCC Model: Diagnosing the root of a problem (Character, Contingent, Circumstantial) -Authentic Self vs. Image Gap: Why the gap between who you are and what you project causes stress -Masculine–Feminine Polarity Model: How energy dynamics shape attraction and conflict -Time–Cost Model: Why delaying conversations makes problems more expensive to fix These are not abstract theories. They’re practical frameworks I use with clients to improve their personal growth and relationship health. 👉 Download the free guide with all 8 models here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IHPp0mPhKisLmyHdqNtEHufxEdiTyVWvgmAQ08pXm28/edit?usp=sharing Thank you for your support!

    The Cost of Delay: A Case for Preventative Maintenance

    The longer you wait to address problems in your relationship, the higher the cost to solve them. Just like ignoring the “check engine” light on your car, avoiding issues in your marriage or dating life only leads to bigger breakdowns later. I explain how preventative maintenance can save your relationship before it’s too late. By paying attention to early warning signs and being proactive, you not only protect your relationship — you actually increase your peace, energy, trust, intimacy, and long-term satisfaction. We’ll cover 3 key areas every couple needs to maintain to avoid unnecessary conflict and future regret: How We Communicate – Avoidant, anxious, or aggressive styles that escalate conflict instead of resolving it. Where We’re Going – Aligning goals, values, and vision for long-term compatibility, not just short-term chemistry. How We Got Here – Accountability and taking responsibility for your impact on the relationship. If you want to build a healthy, lasting relationship, this episode will give you tools to recognize problems early and address them with honesty and maturity. Whether you’re dating, engaged, or married, preventative maintenance is the key. 💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why small problems compound like debt if ignoredHow communication patterns impact long-term intimacyThe difference between chemistry and compatibilityWhy accountability is non-negotiable for marriage successPractical steps for maintaining trust, peace, and emotional connection 📌 Want to work with me as a couple? https://mkd8uhsug6i.typeform.com/to/DcaoHcan 🌐 More resources: https://linktr.ee/iamtaylorchandler Gottman 4 Horsemen: https://www.gottman.com/blog/the-four-horsemen-recognizing-criticism-contempt-defensiveness-and-stonewalling/ Thank you for your support!
