324: What to Do When Your Partner Won't Change
Mar 17, 2025Tap to summarizeNothing is more frustrating than feeling stuck in a relationship where your partner refuses to change. Maybe you’ve had the same conversation a hundred times, but nothing ever shifts. Maybe they acknowledge the problem but don’t take action. Or worse—maybe they don’t even see an issue at all. In this episode, Justin and Abi dive into what to do when you’re hitting a wall with your partner. They unpack the emotional toll of waiting for change, the difference between healthy patience and self-abandonment, and how to navigate the tension between acceptance and advocating for your needs. They also explore what true relational growth looks like—and why sometimes, the most powerful change you can make starts with yourself. If you’ve ever felt exhausted from trying to get your partner to evolve, this conversation will give you clarity, empowerment, and a new perspective on what’s actually in your control.

Nov 28, 2022Tap to summarizePeople can often seem confusing and leave us feeling baffled at many of their decisions. We can find ourselves defensive and angry with behavior that feels radically illogical and painful. But what if every person actually makes sense? In this episode Abi and Justin help to restore compassion to the human condition as they explore why people do what they do. Being in the middle of the holiday season can be especially triggering as we find ourselves and others acting in ways that create messes and are a recipe for disaster. Putting an end to the madness doesn't necessarily begin with avoidance as much as it does understanding the madness. Getting connected to yours and others' stories just might be the light you need to illuminate the best way to relate to yourself and the world around you. If you're wanting to live a more connected lifestyle this holiday season, and in the year to come, this is a MUST listen to episode. Also Living Fully Alive 2023 enrollment is happening now!
