The Grumpy Girlfriend Podcast
You're in a good relationship with an amazing partner, yet your jealousy, anxiety, and constant overthinking gets in the way of your enjoyment. Instead of living your best life, you're stuck stalking, controlling, blaming, judging, comparing, and showing up as your worst self...
This is the Grumpy Girlfriend Podcast.
In this space, we get what it's like to have a crazy, grumpy girlfriend brain. To make up scenarios that hurt your own feelings. To misinterpret your partner in all the worst ways. To want to punish your partner for things they haven't even done. To always be prepared, just in case something goes wrong.
But this is also a space where we learn how to manage that crazy brain and all those triggering emotions with curiosity and compassion. Being a secure girlfriend is not something you're either born with or without. It's a skill that anyone can master at any point in their life.
You are a Secure Girlfriend in the making.
Let's get to work.

91. Wanting Something vs. Having a Manual for Someone
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We're allowed to want things from our partners and relationships, and we can be sad if we don't get them. But we also shouldn't have a manual for our partners and base our emotions on what they do or don't do.
What exactly is the difference?
In this week's episode, we dive deeper into Wants vs. Manuals and define the key difference between two concepts that often come up here on the podcast. Enjoy!
