We discuss the importance of having a ride-or-die partner and someone who is willing to “shoot with you in the gym.” We unpack the struggles that can come in a relationship from issues with trust and vulnerability. We go on to highlight his process of learning how to love someone and creating an infrastructure for vulnerability. We spend time expressing our thoughts on therapy as a preventative measure and pathway for growth and healing.

We discuss how you have to move differently in a committed relationship or marriage.

    Terrence Part 1: Trying to protect you from me

    In this episode (Trying to protect you from me), I begin my conversation with Terrence as we discuss him playing the gray prior to marriage and what changed for him in his  journey to marriage. We talk about how proposing and getting engaged can feel heavier than actually getting married. We discuss why he waited until he proposed to say “I love you” for the first time. We highlight the importance of providing reassurance to your partner. We unpack the effects and impact on him from not growing up in a traditional environment or seeing healthy relationships. We spend time exploring why he tried to let go of a relationship that he was not ready for.
