Strength or Checking Out: The Hidden Cost of Emotional Avoidance in Relationship
Episode 8
Monday, 16 February, 2026
Emotional avoidance often looks like strength from the outside—calm voice, in control, not bothered, no drama. In this episode, I reveal why that steadiness can quietly turn into distance, how it sucks the life out of intimacy, and what it takes to show up in a way your partner can actually feel. I share the moment of honest feedback that made me aware that I wasn't emotionally available, and I share "Clifton’s" story from “I’m fine” to being emotionally present. I give you tools you can use today to expand your emotional vocabulary; catch the urge to run and stay five minutes longer; and listen without having to solve the problem. I challenge the old definition of strength and replace it with a new one—staying present under pressure without losing yourself.
