Have you ever wondered why some relationships make you feel on edge, while others feel like a safe haven? In this episode of 'We Should Probably Talk About That', Lori and Andrea get to the heart of what it means to feel truly safe in a relationship. They argue that without a sense of security, it's impossible to be genuinely open and vulnerable—key ingredients for real love.
Lori opens up about her own experiences from past marriages, where the lack of safety made it hard to show her true self. She contrasts this with her current relationship, where feeling secure has allowed her to be more authentic and connected. Andrea chimes in with her perspective on how creating a safe space for Lori has strengthened their bond. The hosts also discuss how the dates you go on can signal whether someone is 'safe' to date or not.
They highlight the importance of not settling for less than you deserve and recognizing red flags like breadcrumbing or gaslighting. The conversation takes a deep dive into the concept of being a beginner in love—embracing imperfections and learning together in a safe environment. Lori and Andrea encourage listeners to prioritize feeling safe in their relationships, stressing that this is the foundation for true intimacy and love.
They remind us to cherish the present moment and appreciate the journey, rather than getting caught up in future uncertainties. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how safety transforms relationships, making them deeper and more fulfilling.
