Just Between Us with Ryan Keys is about the things that don’t sit right — and won’t let you move on. Love, dating, sex, yes — but also clarity, closure, and the patterns you keep repeating even when you know better. This isn’t advice or motivation. It’s language for what you’ve been feeling and a way to finally see it clearly. No performance. No pretending. Just between us.

    Why Dating Them Made You Feel Crazy - Just Between Us Podcast - S 1 Ep 10

    You asked for consistency. They called you needy. You asked for honesty. They called you insecure. This episode is about dating someone who slowly makes you doubt your own reality — until you start apologizing for having needs. We break down why this happens in relationships, how gaslighting actually works in dating, and why feeling “crazy” is often a signal — not a flaw. I also share the first chapter of my book What I Meant to Say — free — where I name this pattern honestly and give language to what you couldn’t explain while you were inside it. 👉 Read the free chapter here. https://ryankeys.com/truth-what-i-meant-to-say-i-am-sorry/

    Why They Come Back After Ghosting - Just Between Us - S1 Ep 8

    People don’t come back because they changed. They come back to see if you did. They disappeared. No explanation. No apology. Then one day they’re back — “Hey, how have you been?” Like nothing happened This episode breaks down why people come back after ghosting — and why it’s usually not because they realized your worth. I also share the first chapter of my book What I Meant to Say — free — where I’m honest about why I came back after disappearing, what I was actually looking for, and why I thought I could return without accountability. 👉 Read it free — here.

    Daytime Silence, Nighttime Attention - Just Between Us Podcast - S1 Ep 7

    They don’t text you all day. But after 10pm? Suddenly they’re available. This episode breaks down what it really means when someone only reaches out at night — why it isn’t about being busy, and why it keeps you stuck feeling like an option instead of a priority. If you only exist to them after dark, this will help you see the pattern clearly. I also share the first chapter of my book What I Meant to Say — free — where I’m honest about why I only texted some people at night and what I was actually avoiding. 👉 Read it here free.

    Why They Go Hot and Cold in Dating - Just Between Us Podcast - S1 Ep 6

    Hot and cold dating isn’t confusion. It’s a cycle. If you’ve been dating someone who goes hot, then cold, and you keep wondering what you did wrong — Not from your side. From the side of the person who pulled away. If you want to know what’s really happening when someone pulls you close and then disappears, I wrote about it honestly in the first chapter of What I Meant to Say. It’s free.  The link is here.

    They’re Pulling Away - the Slow Fade - Just Between Us Podcast S 1 Ep 5

    They’re pulling away. Shorter texts. Less effort. No conversation. No ending. This episode breaks down the slow fade — when someone doesn’t want to stay, but won’t be honest enough to leave. If you’re wondering whether they’re fading, that is the answer. I also share the first chapter of my book What I Meant to Say — free — where I explain why people pull away instead of speaking up. 👉 Read it here.

    Breadcrumbing - Why They Keep Coming Back but Never Stay - Just Between Us - S 1 Ep 4

    They don’t disappear because they don’t care. They disappear because they don’t want to stay. And then they come back. A text. A like. A “miss you.” Just enough to make you pause your healing. Not because they’re choosing you. Because they’re checking access. This episode is about the pattern people don’t want to name: Why someone keeps re-entering your lie without ever committing to it. If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of hope → contact → silence → confusion this will hit close to home. f this pattern feels familiar, the first chapter of What I Meant to Say will make it click. It’s where I explain this behavior from the other side — why people keep coming back, why they don’t stay, and why it was never about your worth. Read it Free here.

  8. 'I’m Not Ready to get serious’ Is the Answer - Just Between Us S 1 Ep 3

    'I’m Not Ready to get serious’ Is the Answer - Just Between Us S 1 Ep 3

    “I’m not ready for a relationship.” Most people hear that and  translate it as not yet. But when someone says they’re not ready and still keeps texting you, leaning on you, and acting like your partner — this episode explains what that actually means. Because “not ready” isn’t about timing. It’s about willingness. Some people are ready for the attention, the intimacy, the comfort — just not the responsibility. And staying after someone tells you they’re not ready doesn’t make them more willing. It just teaches them they don’t have to choose you clearly. I talk about this honestly in the first chapter of my book, What I Meant to Say — free — including all the times  I said “I’m not ready” when what I really meant was “I don’t want to do the work.” This isn’t advice. It’s perspective. The link is here.
