MATTHEW HUSSEY
About this episode

Are you stuck in a cycle of tolerating disrespect or avoiding tough conversations? 

In this episode of Love Life, Matthew, Audrey, and Stephen dive into why so many of us stay in challenging relationships—whether romantic, familial, or platonic—for far too long, and how to reclaim your power by setting boundaries and addressing the issues. You’ll learn how to stop obsessing over someone else’s actions and start focusing on why you’re allowing it, plus practical tools for having those difficult conversations you’ve been avoiding. 

🎯 Topics include:

  • Why we ignore our needs in the early stages of relationships.

  • How to have tough conversations about what matters to you.

  • The power of teaching others how to treat you—and when to walk away.

  • Why people-pleasing tendencies can leave you feeling invisible in your own relationships.

  • How to break free from unhealthy dynamics and create space for mutual respect.

If you’ve ever struggled to stand up for yourself or felt stuck in a one-sided dynamic, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to take action.
