150 | “I Think I Want Out”: What That Thought Really Means with Dr. Becky Whetstone

Some conversations don’t sugarcoat the truth — and this one with Dr. Becky Whetstone goes straight to the heart of marriage, identity, and what really breaks relationships.

In this episode, we sits down with therapist and relationship expert Dr. Becky Whetstone to talk about what actually happens when marriages hit a crisis point. We unpack why communication often breaks down long before couples realize there’s a problem, why so many people quietly think “I think I want out,” and how personal growth — not fixing your partner — is often the turning point.

We explore the shift from codependency to interdependence, how attachment styles shape conflict and closeness, and why therapy isn’t a failure — it’s a tool for awareness, maturity, and repair. This conversation is grounded, practical, and honest — especially for couples who want clarity instead of clichés.

What you’ll take away from this episode:

– Why marriage is a learned skill, not something you’re supposed to “just know”

– How lack of communication quietly erodes relationships

– The difference between codependency and healthy interdependence

– Why self-discovery strengthens relationships instead of threatening them

– How attachment styles influence conflict and connection

– Why therapy should be normalized, not stigmatized

If you’re navigating tension, questioning your relationship, or wanting healthier communication, this episode will give you language, perspective, and a place to start.
