    Road of Life Podcast Episode 58

    "Can you read my mind?" If only relationships worked that way, right? In this episode of The Road of Life Podcast, we’re getting real about why mind reading isn’t just overrated—it’s downright dangerous.

    We all do it. We expect our partners to just know what we want or need without us saying a word. But here’s the thing: unspoken expectations? They’re a fast track to disappointment, resentment, and unnecessary conflict.

    The truth? The real superpower in relationships isn’t mind reading—it’s communication.

    In this episode, we’re breaking it all down:

    • Why mind reading would actually ruin your relationship (seriously, you don’t want it).
    • How uncommunicated expectations are setting you up for failure.
    • Why courage and vulnerability are the secret ingredients to better communication.
    • The one game-changing question to ask your partner today: "What can I do to make you feel loved?"

    We’ll also share simple, actionable tips for:

    • Getting clear on what you need.
    • Overcoming the awkwardness of asking for it.
    • Creating space for your partner to do the same.

    This episode is packed with insights and tools you can start using right away to create deeper, more meaningful connections in your relationships.

    Spoiler: Communication really is the ultimate relationship hack—and we’re here to show you how to make it yours.

    So grab your coffee (or your partner) and hit play. Let’s build those 200% relationships together!
