Welcome back, Feels Family! 💛

In this honest and powerful episode, Johnny & Lisa unpack the emotional roots of defensiveness — why we get so quick to protect ourselves, even from the people we love. From childhood conditioning to ego, pride, and fear of rejection, they explore how defensiveness shows up in everyday conversations and relationships.

They dive deep into:

• Childhood origins of defensiveness and people-pleasing
• The difference between protection and blocking love
• The role of ego and insecurity in how we react
• How to build awareness and respond with patience instead of reactivity
• Their own experiences unlearning toxic communication and learning accountability
• Healthy relationship tools for creating safety and understanding
