Episode Synopsis

Send us a textEver felt that instant spark with someone, only to realize later your body knew better? In today’s episode, we talk about what real safety feels like in relationships and why so many of us confuse excitement for connection. Together, we break down the cues your nervous system has been trying to send, the childhood wiring that shapes your boundaries, and how to tell the difference between feeling seen and being stuck. This one’s equal parts truth, laughter, and gentle reality check. Hit play before your intuition rolls its eyes and says, “Told you so.”Episode Resource:Evolve Safe Relationship Assessment - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HBjn1a1QEFQWSYLtFmSdwNDHMb6ULYkf/view?usp=drive_linkHere are the related episodes, each one builds on today’s conversation:#438 | Understanding Trauma Responses You Mistake for Personality - https://apple.co/438qTIF #439 | How to Tell if You're in a "Situationship" That's Damaging You - https://apple.co/4qAJwyHEvolve Together Experiences:🤝 Out of the Mud (OOTM) - “Breaking Free From Social Pressures” - https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/IykObX8eR7ixJaQ-qqZogw#/registration📽️ Insightful films, meaningful growth.
