Should You Trust Your Gut in a Relationship? Intuition, Old Wounds & the Whispers We Ignore
Have you ever had a tiny moment in a relationship that didn’t feel quite right, but you convinced yourself you were overreacting? In this solo episode of The Inner Script, Stephanie Baubie, NP reflects on more than a decade of dating and relationships and the small moments, or “whispers,” she can still remember years later. Some eventually became early signs of larger patterns, while others had more to do with wounds she was carrying from her past. Steph explores how to tell the difference between intuition, useful information, and an old wound being activated, including four questions she now asks herself when something feels off. She also turns the lens inward, sharing the patterns she knows she brings into relationships herself, and reflects on what endings can teach us about grief, compatibility, self-awareness, and what we want to carry into our next chapter.
