S4 | E7 Contempt: The Silent Killer of Connection

In today’s episode of Here Comes Sunshine, I’m talking about one of the most damaging forces in any relationship: contempt.

You’ll hear how it shows up, why the Gottman Institute calls it the number one predictor of divorce, and how to recognize it in your own life. I also share a personal story of what contempt looked like in my past relationship, and how I found the strength to walk away.

I reference a powerful video clip from Diary of a CEO and break down how to move from toxic dynamics into a healing, honest connection.

Whether you’re the one experiencing contempt or noticing you’re dishing it out, there are real steps you can take to create change. This one is raw, real, and important.
