Rooted Lessons From Therapy & Prayer: Decentering Romantic Relationships .002

We grow up hearing that love and partnership should sit at the very center of our lives—that our worth is proven by who chooses us, how many people surround us, or whether we’ve found “the one.” But what happens when centering relationships means losing ourselves?

In this episode, we explore what it means to re-order the center—not by rejecting love, but by refusing to let someone else’s opinion or presence define our value. Through real stories and reflections, we’ll name the ways culture teaches us to sacrifice dreams, silence our voices, or bend our boundaries for the sake of being chosen. And we’ll imagine something freer: relationships rooted not in fear or performance, but in authenticity and mutual respect.

Decentering relationships is not the end of love—it’s the beginning of a love that flows from wholeness. It’s learning to stand grounded, at peace, and in joy that is not dependent on someone else’s presence.
