This week, Lauren and Trey dive into a big, juicy topic: breaking up—but not with each other. (Don't worry, they're still together!) When Trey invites Lauren to share about a date night she requested, the conversation turns deeply personal. Lauren opens up about a core pattern in her attachment style: the fear of being “too much” and the impulse to protect others from her bigness—especially when she’s on the edge of growth. She shares the origin of that story, the somatic response our bodies have to perceived threats to attachment, and how those old beliefs can sneak into even the most loving partnerships. As her business, Sex Ed for You, takes off—and more people ask her to write a book—Lauren its that even sexy texts from Trey on her weekend off can feel like pressure, not pleasure. Trey offers a surprising solution: "What if we just broke up?" Not with each other—but with outdated roles and stories. In a twisty, tender, and hilarious conversation, they explore the freedom that comes with redefining relationship agreements. Trey reflects on his own experience in football operations, how watching the NFL used to feel like work—and how that mirrors what Lauren’s going through now. He reminds Lauren that he wants her to chase her dreams—that "that’s" the woman he fell in love with. ✨ This episode is a heartfelt, real-time unraveling of the beliefs that keep us stuck—and a powerful reminder that sometimes, love means letting go… of everything except each other. 🎧 Listen in, then tell us: What old roles or stories are you ready to break up with? 👉 Want in breaking up with your own outdated patterns?
