    Boundaries Change Everything | Breakups, Self-Respect, and the Honest Truth About Walking Away

    At some point, you realize that love without boundaries slowly teaches you to abandon yourself. Not all at once. Just enough that you start questioning what you need, what you deserve, and why you feel so tired all the time. In this episode of Love In The Wild, Katelyn Ansari is joined by Emily Bradbury for a grounded, honest conversation about boundary setting, breakups, and the understanding that comes when you finally stop explaining yourself to people who are committed to misunderstanding you. Katelyn talks about why boundaries bring up guilt, why walking away can be an act of deep self-respect, and why staying quiet for the sake of peace often costs more than leaving ever will. This episode is for the woman who has grown, learned, and is no longer interested in shrinking to be chosen. You are allowed to choose yourself. You are allowed to leave. And you are allowed to trust that the right kind of love will meet you there.

    When You Stop Speaking Up in a Relationship | Fear of Conflict, Self-Abandonment, and People-Pleasing

    In this episode we dive into the powerful new book The Cost of Quiet by licensed couples therapist Colette Jane Fehr. Colette explores why so many of us stay silent in love. We avoid the hard conversations, minimize our needs, and choose peace over authenticity. In her book that launches on Feburary 3, Colette shares how this chronic avoidance leads to emotional disconnection, self-abandonment, and fractured intimacy if left unchecked.  On Episode 14 of Love In The Wild, Katelyn Ansari and Collete Jane Fehr break down key themes from The Cost of Quiet, including how Katelyn's own fear of conflict and people-pleasing patterns erode trust and closeness in her relationships and explains why silence felt safer than honesty, and how she used practical therapist-informed tools for speaking up with courage, clarity, and vulnerability.  If you’ve ever felt stuck, afraid to voice what matters, or wondered how to move from conflict avoidance into deeper connection, this episode will help you understand what’s really at stake and how to reclaim your voice. Featuring insights into communication, self-trust, and building secure, lasting love that transforms the way you relate to yourself and your partner. Let's dive deep into the wild with Colette Jane Fehr! To purchase Colette's upcoming book that launches on February 3, 2026, follow this link. Trust me, this is one you won't want to put down.
