And How to Change That From the Inside Out
Have you ever looked at your relationship – romantic, family, friendship or work and felt that quiet sense that something isn’t quite right? That constant hum of stress and anxiety that never fully quietens. You are not alone and more importantly; you are not stuck.
The most transformative change we can make in our relationships doesn’t start with the other person.
Self Love is FIRST LOVE
The constant hum of stress and anxiety that never fully quieten can make us feel stuck … but, we can change and reduce the stress and anxiety through the practice of mindfulness and finding our purpose
But first, let’s look at the signs.
1. You Feel Like You Are Walking on Eggshells
Do you carefully measure your words or adjust how you behave just to keep the peace?
When you can’t move freely without the weight of someone else’s mood hanging over you, stress and anxiety become your baseline. This tension takes an enormous toll on your nervous system over time. Mindfulness gives us the tools to notice this pattern without judgement, creating space where calm and choice can live.
2. Communication Has Broken Down – Or Never Really Existed
When you notice these patterns regularly, something important is out of balance:
- Conversations that consistently end in arguments, silence or tears
- Feeling unheard, dismissed or talked over
- Passive aggression used in place of direct expression
The patterns we fall into with others mirror the relationship we have with ourselves.
When we communicate more honestly and compassionately internally, our external relationships begin to shift too.
3. Your Sense of Self Has Started to Fade
Are you still doing the things that light you up? In unhealthy relationships, it is common to lose touch with your own needs and purpose, shrinking to make space for someone else until you barely recognise yourself. Reconnecting with your values, your voice and your purpose is not selfish – it’s essential, its self love!
4. There Is a Persistent Imbalance of Power or Respect
Healthy relationships are built on mutual respect. When one person consistently holds more power, resentment quietly builds. It might feel like nothing you do is enough, or that love is conditional. When we do the inner work and understand our own worth, we become less willing to accept treatment that diminishes us and begin to create relationships that feel genuinely equal and calm.
5. The Relationship Leaves You Feeling Drained, Not Nourished
Ask yourself honestly: how do you feel after time with this person? Uplifted or depleted? Calm or riddled with stress and anxiety? The fatigue, the low mood, the tightness in your chest, these are signals worth listening to.
You deserve relationships that restore you, that feel like coming home.
Real Change Is Possible: Sarah’s Story
When Sarah came to work with me, she was three years into a relationship that had left her feeling invisible, anxious and utterly lost. She’d been telling herself she just needed to try harder, be calmer, want less. She was exhausted and had stopped recognising herself.
Through mindfulness practices and inner peace tools, Sarah began doing something she hadn’t done in years, she started listening to herself. For the first time she became aware of the quiet, knowing part that had been trying to get her attention all along.
Over several months, here is what changed:
- A daily mindfulness practice that helped her return to calm, even in difficult moments
- Reconnection with her sense of purpose and the dreams she’d quietly packed away
- Boundaries set from a grounded place of self-respect, not fear
- Communication that was honest, kind and for the first time without anxiety
The relationship ended albeit calmly and with quiet clarity. Sarah built something extraordinary in its place: a relationship with herself that was honest, compassionate and strong and from that foundation, every other relationship in her life transformed too.
“I didn’t realise how much I had abandoned myself until I started coming back. The work I did with Jo literally changed my life. I feel calm, purposeful and free in a way I hadn’t felt in years.”
— Sarah, 38
