About this episode

The episode discusses emotional distance in marriage and how to reconnect with your partner.

Why does he feel distant… even though nothing big happened? You’re still talking. Still showing up. But something feels different—and you can’t pinpoint when it changed. This conversation with Heather O’Brien gets underneath emotional distance in marriage—where it actually starts and why it’s so hard to fix once it’s there. Because emotional disconnection doesn’t usually happen overnight. It often begins with something unspoken, unresolved, or unmet—and over time, that turns into withdrawal, resentment, and feeling alone in your own marriage. If you’ve been wondering how to fix emotional distance in your marriage, this will help you see where it began, what’s really happening underneath, and how to move forward. Don’t ignore that feeling—listen now and send this to someone you’ve been feeling it with.
