Season 3 - Episode 48: How to Navigate the Ache for Partnership

Feb 20, 2026

There is a very real, very human ache that can arise when you deeply desire partnership. The ache for partnership isn’t a problem to fix.

It’s an invitation to deepen your relationship with yourself.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Why wanting partnership doesn’t mean you’re incomplete or “behind”
  • How the ache becomes painful when it’s driven by old patterns, fear, or comparison
  • The difference between longing from loneliness vs longing from wholeness
  • Why so many women try to “outgrow” their desire for love - and why that never works
  • How to stay open-hearted without abandoning yourself or settling
  • What it actually means to become the partner you’re waiting for

You don’t need to harden your heart.

You don’t need to give up on desire.

And you don’t need to make this ache mean anything about your worth.

You are allowed to want partnership and be whole.

You are allowed to desire love without making it the source of your happiness.

And you are absolutely allowed to trust the timing of your life.

If you’ve ever wondered how to hold the longing for love without letting it consume you - this episode is for you.
