In this episode of The Conscious Couples Podcast, hosts Emilia Smith and Alan Lazaros pick up where the last episode left off and go deeper into the real role self-awareness plays in relationships. Part two unpacks why most people believe they are self-aware, why that belief is often misplaced, and how that blind spot quietly fuels conflict, disconnection, and stalled growth. The conversation centers on honesty, responsibility, and the unseen patterns shaping how couples communicate and relate.

If you care about building a stronger partnership, this episode will challenge how you see yourself inside the relationship. Listen closely, then decide whether comfort or clarity guides your next move.
