    246 - No More Overexplaining: Building Healthy Relationships Without Guilt | Life Happens
    Feb 24 2026

    What if being “selfish” is actually the key to healthier relationships?

    In this week’s episode of Life Happens with Barb & Michelle, we’re answering your questions about navigating difficult relationship dynamics — without guilt, overexplaining, or abandoning yourself in the process.

    From unrealistic expectations and gossip to setting boundaries for the first time, we’re diving into the messy, uncomfortable, and very real parts of relationships.

    💬 Barb shares how she sets boundaries and approaches hard conversations with clarity and calm.

    💬 Michelle opens up about releasing guilt, healing with confidence, and refusing to live in a victim mindset.

    This conversation is honest, practical, and empowering — especially if you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing or feeling responsible for everyone else’s emotions.

    ✨ In This Episode, We Explore:

    • Why guilt often keeps us stuck — and what to do instead
    • How to identify your values and honor your needs
    • Setting boundaries without overexplaining
    • Supporting loved ones without rescuing them
    • Why healthy relationships require clarity, not self-sacrifice

    At the heart of it all? You don’t build strong relationships by shrinking yourself. You build them by standing in your truth.

    📘 Continue the Conversation

    If this episode resonates, you may also love Michelle’s USA TODAY bestselling book, Dear Friend — a daily reflection companion designed to help you reconnect with yourself, strengthen your inner voice, and practice emotional clarity one day at a time.

    Because the most important relationship you’ll ever build… is the one you have with yourself.

    245 - Loyalty, Betrayal, & Why Confrontation Matters | Life Happens
    Feb 17 2026

    Confrontation isn’t easy — but it’s one of the clearest ways we honor ourselves and the people we care about. If we’re not honest about our feelings and needs, how can our relationships truly grow?

    In this week’s episode of Life Happens with Barb & Michelle, we’re diving into loyalty and betrayal — including our own experience of being unexpectedly ghosted by a friend. From healthy communication to redefining what loyalty really means, this conversation is for anyone navigating hurt, boundaries, and the courage to speak up.

    💬 Barb shares her experience with fear of abandonment and how she’s learned to voice her truth, even when it feels risky.

    💬 Michelle reflects on why she’s cautious with the word “loyalty” and how she’s redefined it in her own relationships.

    ✨ What We Talk About

    Redefining Loyalty

    Loyalty isn’t blind or unconditional — it’s a conscious commitment to work through discomfort, growth, and change with honesty and respect.

    Fear of Abandonment

    Recognizing the underlying fears that may keep you silent or guarded.

    Being Okay with Confrontation

    Healthy relationships are strengthened — not broken — by hard conversations.

    Loyalty to the Relationship Itself

    Respecting the time, energy, and connection you’ve built by choosing communication over avoidance.

    Reminder: There is power and healing in honest communication. Be brave enough to speak your truth and set the boundaries that protect your peace.

    📘 USA TODAY BESTSELLER — Dear Friend by Michelle Maros

    Dear Friend is a 365-day companion designed to support self-care, self-love, and emotional clarity. Each reflection offers a gentle pause — a reminder to come back to yourself, nurture your inner voice, and build a life rooted in presence and confidence.

    Explore the book and continue the journey toward deeper connection — starting with yourself.

    244 - Nedra Glover Tawwab on Boundaries, Relationships & Why We Feel So Lonely | Life Happens
    Feb 10 2026
    Have we become so independent—and so focused on self-care—that we’ve forgotten how much we actually need one another? With relationship deficits at an all-time high, this episode is a powerful guide to rebuilding connection and creating healthy dependency—without losing yourself.In this week’s episode of Life Happens with Barb & Michelle, we’re joined by New York Times bestselling author, therapist, and boundaries expert Nedra Glover Tawwab for an honest and timely conversation about relationships, communication, and expectations. This episode launches the same day as Nedra’s new book, The Balancing Act,offering a deeper look at the themes shaping her work right now.From understanding how trauma can show up in our relationships to navigating boundaries, “no contact,” and emotional dependency, this conversation speaks directly to the loneliness so many of us are feeling—and what we can do about it.💬 Nedra shares insights from her clinical work and personal experience, and offers a preview of the ideas explored in The Balancing Act.💬 Michelle & Barb bring their own lived wisdom to the conversation, exploring relationships through a generational and mother–daughter lens.✨ What We Talk AboutFinding the BalanceWhy boundaries aren’t walls to keep people out—but tools to keep relationships sustainable and meaningful.The Challenge of “No Contact”When cutting ties is necessary—and why building community and connection matters just as much.Mindful CommunicationWhy speaking honestly instead of silently rehearsing conversations can save relationships.The Relationship DeficitHow cultivating a fuller, more diverse community supports healthy dependency and eases unrealistic expectations.As Nedra reminds us, every relationship—from romantic partnerships to friendships, family, and community—is a balancing act. When we give too much, we lose ourselves. When we protect ourselves too much, we lose closeness. Finding the middle ground is where connection, authenticity, and joy live.✨UPCOMING EVENT:Calling all South Florida friends!
