Covert contracts are the unspoken expectations we place on others and they are one of the fastest ways to create resentment, disappointment, and emotional disconnection. In this episode, we break down what covert contracts are, why people create them, and how they quietly damage relationships.

We’ll explore how covert contracts show up in dating and friendships, why avoidance often feels safer than vulnerability, and what clean communication actually looks like. If you’ve ever felt like you’re giving more than you’re receiving or waiting for someone to “just get it,” this episode will bring clarity.

Journal Prompts:

• Where am I hoping someone will change without me asking?
• What am I giving that I secretly expect something back for?
• What need am I afraid to name because I fear the answer?
• If this pattern continued exactly as it is… how would I feel six months from now?
