The truth about compromise

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 13:01:00 +0000

Love will tempt you to compromise, make adjustments, and change a few things, but it should never change who you are.

In this episode, we explore how long-term relationships can lead to self-resentment and how said resentment can be prevented and cured. We touch on individuality and how real intimacy asks you to bring it, not to change it. Finally, we talk sexuality and finding self-confidence in how it is expressed.
