  2. Why Good Women Stop Blooming in Love

    09/12/2025

    Why Good Women Stop Blooming in Love

    Some women never reach their full bloom in love—not because they aren’t worthy, but because of the choices, fears, and past hurts holding them back. In this episode of Finding Love, Jenni & Stephen Hendrix unpack the reasons why so many good women get stuck: climbing the corporate ladder without space for intimacy, staying in marriages where they’re no longer seen, or circling back to relationships that only bring comfort—not growth. From intimacy to independence, trauma to trust, this conversation gets real about what it means to bloom fully in love, and what’s required to prune, heal, and make space for the right relationship. In this episode, we cover • The 3 archetypes of women who stop blooming: the corporate climber, the stuck wife, and the comfort seeker • Why fear and trauma make women show up hardened on the dating scene • The difference between intimacy that nurtures and relationships that deplete • How support and safety unlock a woman’s potential to fully bloom • What statistics and shifting marriage trends reveal about modern love • The encouragement: pruning, healing, and staying open to love again Chapters & Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro: Why good women stop blooming 03:02 – The corporate climber who trades love for success 07:25 – The stuck wife: married but unseen 11:44 – The comfort seeker: why some women circle back to dead-end love 16:15 – Jenni: independence, business, and how support changes everything 20:04 – Stephen: fear, softness, and the “soft girl era” 24:18 – What intimacy really looks like vs. depletion 27:45 – Research & stats: marriage, money, and satisfaction 30:10 – Closing encouragement: prune, heal, and bloom again -- Follow Us On Social: Jenni's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jennilhendrix/ Stephen's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stephenhendrix1/ Finding Love's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamfindinglove/ Finding Love's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IamFindingLove Finding Love's Website: https://www.iamfindinglove.com Support the show

    Be Careful Who Speaks Into Your Marriage

    One careless comment, one viral post, one bitter voice—sometimes that’s all it takes to plant doubt in a marriage. In this episode of Finding Love, Jenni & Stephen Hendrix unpack how outside voices, social media, and even “friends” can influence the way we see our spouse and ourselves. From postpartum depletion to the seven-year itch, to the way marriage is talked about in today’s culture, the warning is clear: be careful who you let speak into your marriage.

    Are Men Being Misled? Social Media, Celebs & The Fear of Commitment

    In today’s culture, men are constantly told they’re “better off single.” From celebrity voices like Slim Thug, Shaq, and Shannon Sharpe to viral Shade Room clips, the message is clear: avoid marriage, avoid commitment, and stay free. But is that advice helping—or hurting—men? In this episode of Finding Love, Jenni & Stephen Hendrix break down how celebrity narratives and social media influence are shaping men’s mindset about relationships. They dive into why so many men now view marriage as a trap, how that thinking is spreading to everyday dating, and what women need to understand about the cultural pull men are facing.

    If you don’t know your value, you’ll settle for less than what you deserve.
