In this episode of Lucky in Love, I'm breaking down the sneaky, often-missed signs your partner is unhappy in your relationship—even if you feel fine.

I explain how mismatched expectations, unresolved resentment, and outside stress can quietly widen the gap between you, showing up as pulling away from rituals, more solo time, short answers, less affection, and a fading sex life.

You’ll learn what to watch for and how to start a calm, honest conversation before you end up blindsided by a breakup or divorce.

When your significant other says, “I’m unhappy,” it can feel like a gut punch. In this episode, I break down exactly how to respond—without panicking, dismissing, or scrambling. Learn the three-step framework: take it seriously, get curious and listen, then create a real plan of action together.

What You’ll Learn

• Why “panic or brush-off” responses make things worse
• The mindset shift: unhappy ≠ out; unhappy = asking for change
• How to listen without defending, explaining, or justifying
• Three curiosity questions that open the conversation
• How to move from promises to a concrete, shared plan
• Why “if nothing changes, nothing changes” is the real bottom line

I’m sure you’ve heard it: “You two just need more date nights.” It’s well-intentioned advice, but when a marriage or relationship is struggling, it can actually make things worse.

In this episode of Lucky in Love, I’m breaking down why more dinners out and weekend getaways won’t fix what’s really going on underneath—and what to do instead. Because the truth is, the problem usually isn’t how much time you spend together; it’s how you’re showing up when you’re together.

I explain three ways date nights can backfire when a relationship is on shaky ground and walk you through what can actually help you start turning things around.

Whether you’re in a rough season yourself or want to support a friend who is, this episode offers a compassionate reminder: you can’t pour romance over unresolved conflict and expect it to stick. But with small, intentional changes, you can start rebuilding the connection that makes those date nights meaningful again.

Have you ever been stuck in gridlock with your partner or spouse? Unable to find a solution you can both agree on?

Instead of getting stuck in right-vs-wrong battles, I teach you how a simple mindset shift allows you to hold two truths at the same time — creating space for connection, collaboration, and creative solutions.

We will talk about how either/or thinking fuels defensiveness, resentment, and stonewalling, while both/and thinking softens conversations, helps both partners feel heard, and opens the door to solutions that work for everyone.

I give you real-life scenarios — from dividing chores to handling money stress to parenting differences — showing how this simple shift can completely change the feel of a relationship.

In this episode of Lucky in Love, I'm counting down the 7 little phrases that can blow up your arguments—and what to say instead.

These may seem small in the moment, but they either escalate conflict or chip away at your connection in ways that stick long after the fight is over. I’m sharing why each phrase is so damaging, the deeper emotions that often drive them, and—most importantly—simple alternatives you can use to keep your conversations from blowing up.

If you’ve ever walked away from a fight thinking, “That didn't go well,” this episode is for you.
