E136: When Loving Feels Lopsided
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is Episode One in a brand-new series called Loving Without Losing Your Real Self — a series all about learning how to love the people in your life without disappearing, over-functioning, or drifting into resentment.
And today, we’re starting with something almost every woman has felt:
when a relationship feels lopsided.
Maybe you’re the one who initiates.
Maybe you carry the emotional weight.
Maybe you’re always the one reaching out, inviting, or trying to keep things going.
And somewhere inside you wonder:
Is this about me? About them? Are we just wired differently?
And how do I love well here without losing myself?
In this episode, we’ll talk about:
- why we long for mutuality in our relationships
- how our hearts react when love feels unbalanced
- the difference between honoring someone’s wiring and expecting sameness
- the shift from scorekeeping to Spirit-led willingness
- how humility can soften your posture without asking you to do all the work
You’ll also get a handful of gentle reflection questions to help you look honestly at one relationship in your life that feels uneven right now — and if you want support applying what you’re learning each month, I’ll share how Clarity + Courage can help you build a steady rhythm of growth that fits your real life.
If you’ve ever wondered how to love deeply without abandoning yourself, this episode will meet you right where you are and help you begin that journey with clarity, compassion, and the steady presence of Jesus.
