Not all unhealthy relationships announce themselves with yelling, cheating, or dramatic fights. Many of the most damaging ones chip away at us quietly—through subtle behaviors we often brush off or explain away. In this episode, Mary unpacks the small but powerful signs that can leave you feeling drained, doubting yourself, and unsure why something feels “off.”

You’ll learn why it’s so easy to miss these quiet warning signs, how they impact your confidence and boundaries over time, and what you can begin doing differently. This conversation is about tuning back into your own gut, trusting what you feel, and deciding what belongs in your life—and what doesn’t.

Three Takeaways

1. Some of the most harmful relationship patterns are the ones that don’t look obvious at first.

2. Your body often senses the truth before your mind is willing to admit it.

3. Paying attention to the “small stuff” is what protects your peace of mind in the long run.

A healthy person

listens.

An unhealthy one

gets defensive.

That’s your clue.

This new month is all about being, being still, and having the bravery to be your authentic self. Well, in order to do that, we HAVE to reconnect with our feelings and truly be able to sit with them, or we simply cannot truly be in touch with ourselves. That’s why I’m so excited to have Claire Garner on the show today, because that’s just what she does!

Claire is an Intuitive Emotional Healing Guide who helps people feel their emotions with clarity and compassion—so they can stop looping in pain and finally shift the patterns that keep them stuck.

She’s the creator of the Intuitive Emotional Healing framework, a practical and body-led process that teaches people how to understand, work with, and release the emotional energy underneath their thoughts and behaviors.

Through private sessions and her online community, The Conscious Heart Academy, Claire helps people build emotional resilience, deepen self-trust, and create a more peaceful, aligned relationship with themselves.

The healing doesn’t come

from pushing through. It comes from

pausing long enough to feel.

To grieve. To get honest.

That’s how we stop

abandoning ourselves.
