Vulnerability sounds simple, but in real life it’s layered, tender, and requires more than just one person being willing to open up. In this episode, we explore what actually creates the conditions for people to feel safe enough to be seen and why trust is something that’s built in small, quiet moments, not forced breakthroughs.

We talk about the ways defensiveness, ego, and lack of presence can get in the way, and what it really looks like to hold space for someone you love. A grounded, honest conversation about the courage it takes to soften and the safety that makes connection possible.

This episode is a rapid-fire Q&A sharing an honest snapshot of where we’re at right now, both individually and in our relationship. We talk about what’s been activating us, patterns we’re noticing, beliefs we’re outgrowing, and what feels tender, easier, or still requires intention in this season.

We also keep it light with some fun questions: the habits we’re low-key judging, things we definitely overthought, simple joys bringing unexpected happiness, and yes…even ways that we annoy each other. It’s not about having it all figured out, just being honest about what feels true right now.

Our limiting beliefs and insecurities don’t come out of nowhere—they’re learned, often in moments where we were trying to protect ourselves.

In this episode, Dave and Shiv explore how these patterns form and why they can feel so hard to break. Dave shares how his beliefs around working out kept him from going to the gym for years, while Shiv opens up about how past trauma led her to suppress her feelings and avoid vulnerability.

We talk about how these thoughts once helped us feel safe, but can quietly limit our relationships, growth, and self-trust as adults. This conversation is about understanding your patterns with compassion—and learning how to move beyond them without shame.
