Have you ever felt guilty for wanting alone time? Or wondered why you and your partner always seem to want different things at social events? In this honest conversation, we dive into one of the most overlooked tensions in relationships: the balance between connection and autonomy. It all started with a simple solution to a recurring fight - taking separate cars to family events - but it opened up a much deeper discussion about social batteries, alone time, and the pressure couples face to do everything together. If you've ever felt torn between wanting connection and craving autonomy, this conversation will help you see that you can have both - you just need to get creative about how.

This episode is for anyone sitting with big life questions, feeling impatient with the unknown, or struggling to trust life's timing. Sometimes the most profound wisdom comes not from having all the answers, but from learning to live beautifully within the questions themselves. Quote Mentioned: “Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” - Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet Want to Work Together?  Check out these current opportunities!  Stay Connected Instagram: @melaniewhitney_ LinkedIn: @melaniewhitney YouTube: @melaniewhitney
