It really does. 🩶

When you compromise yourself in relationships, it’s almost always driven by fear: fear of losing the other person, fear of conflict, fear of being unlovable or alone.

That fear can lead you to silence your voice, or abandon your wants and needs, and give your power away. Over time, you may not feel like yourself or recognize yourself, and you may even be unsure of what you want anymore!

Resentment is often the clue. It’s your inner voice saying, “I’ve given up too much of myself.” If left unchecked, it can erode your self-trust, confidence, and self-esteem.

It’s important to find ways to maintain your individuality within togetherness. In healthy relationships, there is mutual sharing and compromise. There is give and take and there are trade-offs, but in ways that feel collaborative (not one-sided!). Your voice, your needs, and your desires matter.

Where do you notice yourself compromising too much in relationships?

Too often, we think disharmony spells the end of a relationship.

But love takes work.

I always say intimacy isn't something you have, it's something you do.

And there will be times when your partner triggers you. That's where repair comes in. That's where you utilize the relational skills I teach in my books and courses. Repair is the road back to connection.

It’s one of the hardest truths to sit with:
Yes, they were hurting.
Yes, they had trauma of their own.

But that doesn’t make what they did okay.

Your empathy doesn’t erase your pain.
Their brokenness doesn’t cancel out the harm.

You’re allowed to grieve what happened.
You’re allowed to hold both truths:
They were struggling, AND they hurt you.

And you didn’t deserve that.

You don’t have to explain yourself to everyone. You don’t have to heal every misunderstanding. And you don’t have to prove your worth to people who refuse to see it.

Protect your energy. Protect your peace. Not everyone will understand your heart—and that’s okay. The right people always will.

Release the need to be everything for everyone. Be at peace with being fully yourself.
