Power reveals who we really are, especially in relationships where love and control can become tangled.
In this episode, we’re exploring how power plays show up in NeuroDivergent relationships and what they do to trust, connection, and empathy.
From HOA battles to divorce disputes, we’ll look at how manipulation, false compromise, and emotional dismissal quietly erode bonds.
Most importantly, we’ll talk about how to break free from these cycles by choosing honesty over self-protection and connection over control.
If you’ve ever wondered whether the tension in your relationship comes from love—or from a power imbalance—this conversation is for you.
