Are you asking for support or hoping your partner will read your mind?
In this episode, Emilia and Alan break down why many couples feel unsupported even when they think they are communicating clearly. Through a real-life coaching story, they show how small misunderstandings can slowly turn into frustration, resentment, and emotional distance. You will learn how to clearly ask for what you need, set healthy boundaries, and create simple feedback loops that help both partners grow.
Whether you are in a relationship or single and preparing for one, this episode teaches you how to build trust, respect, and teamwork from the inside out. Listen now and start building stronger, healthier connections today.
