If I have to become less of myself to keep someone, is it really love?
Have you ever caught yourself becoming quieter, easier, less ambitious or less opinionated just to keep a relationship working?
In this deeply personal solo episode, Caroline opens up about how she lost parts of herself trying to be the “perfect wife,” and why everything changed when she stopped asking:
“Does he want me?”
…and started asking:
“Do I actually want him?”
Caroline gets candid about meeting Sergio, their 19-year age gap, jealousy, confidence, dating after divorce, why she thinks most dating rules are complete BS, and the difference between healthy compromise and slowly losing yourself inside a relationship.
Because maybe you're not too loud.
Maybe you're not too ambitious.
Maybe you're not too opinionated.
Maybe you're not too much at all. Maybe you're just with the wrong person.
If you've ever wondered whether you need to change to be loved, this episode is for you.
And if this conversation hits home, maybe you’re ready for more than just listening.
This November, Caroline is bringing together an intimate group of women from around the world for the next Stanbury Retreat on a private island in the Maldives — a few extraordinary days designed for women ready to reconnect with themselves, step into their next chapter, build meaningful connections and stop shrinking what they want from life.
If you’re ready for what’s next, apply now to join Caroline in the Maldives.
