Old hurts can stall even the strongest couples. In this replay, Julie guides us through naming, feeling, and releasing relationship grief—so negative cycles lose their power and secure connection can finally take root.
Julie Menanno pinpoints the hidden trio—unmet needs, fear, and negative cycles—that keep partners spinning in place, and shares the first tiny moves that push a relationship forward again.
Negative cycles quietly weave partners into the very conflict they want to escape. Learn to notice the pattern—and the soft first moves that loosen its grip.
In this session, we explore what it really means to “expect too much” in a relationship. Julie talks about how sometimes, without realizing it, we lean too heavily on our partner to manage emotions we haven’t yet learned to hold ourselves. This can show up as constant venting, needing endless reassurance, or expecting our partner to join us in unhealthy ways of coping.... like over controlling, avoiding, or shutting down.
In this session, Julie explores how emotional disgust—toward our own feelings or our partner’s—can silently block intimacy and emotional engagement. A powerful conversation with real-life examples and tools for healing.
