2 Be Better

In Season 4, Episode 8 of the To Be Better Podcast, Chris and Peaches sit down for a real, no fluff relationship and life advice Q and A, reading listener emails and responding with direct coaching, hard truths, and practical next moves. Recorded on New Year’s Eve, this episode is built for men and women who want stronger marriages, better communication, and more personal accountability, without the sugar coating.

You’ll hear them tackle a painful co parenting situation with an absent father and addiction, including how to set boundaries that protect kids emotionally, and what court and custody decisions really do and do not fix. They also dig into a workplace crush and whether to make a move, intimacy issues tied to body insecurity and weight gain after kids, starting a business when fear of failure is loud, and a marriage crisis involving an emotional affair, porn addiction, and accountability, plus a boundary conversation about “playful” touching that crosses the line.

In this episode of 2 Be Better, Chris and Peaches break down what self validation actually means, why your own voice matters, and how chasing approval keeps you stuck in reaction mode, people pleasing, and shaky confidence. You’ll hear a straight talk walkthrough of the emotional fallout that comes from ignoring your inner compass, over apologizing, decision paralysis, self betrayal, and losing your sense of identity, plus how external validation and social media “likes” can quietly hijack your self worth and choices. 

You can expect practical, repeatable tools for building self validation and self care into daily life, pausing before you look outward, naming feelings without shame, rewriting harsh inner talk, celebrating effort, and creating simple rituals like journaling prompts, mirror work, anchoring phrases, micro breaks, breathwork, meditation, sound baths, and boundary choices that help your nervous system feel safe. If you’re working through codependency, anxiety, guilt, burnout, or relationship patterns that make you abandon yourself to keep the peace, this conversation gives you language, examples, and a clear path to reclaim agency, hold your no, and live with more clarity in your marriage, family, and life.

If you feel like you’re not a priority in your relationship, this episode gets straight into why it happens and what to do next. You’ll hear a real listener situation where “two hours of gaming” turns into four, plans get brushed off, and feelings get minimized with phrases like “it’s not a big deal.” We break down what follow through actually communicates, how dismissing your reality can become gaslighting, and how to set a boundary without begging, chasing, or exploding.

You’ll also learn how to repair after conflict, rebuild trust when someone avoids accountability, and create a relationship culture where connection is the standard. We go deep on intimacy versus sex, why many couples confuse the two, what emotional intimacy looks like in daily life, and how to bring back desire without pressure, resentment, or “chore” energy. Expect clear language, practical communication tools, and a direct framework for getting respect, consistency, and real closeness back on track.

If you’re stuck people pleasing, over explaining, apologizing too much, scanning everyone’s mood, and saying yes fast then resenting it later, this episode breaks down what’s really happening and why it feels so hard to stop. You’ll learn how people pleasing often forms as a nervous system survival strategy, the fawn response, where being agreeable once meant safety, approval, or belonging. We talk through the root causes, conditional love, performance conditioning, fear of conflict, and why setting a boundary can trigger guilt, anxiety, and an intense urge to fix, rescue, or smooth things over. You’ll also get practical tools to recover from people pleasing without turning cold or selfish, including regulation skills, grounding, breathing, and simple boundary language that’s short, calm, and clear. The focus is rebuilding self trust, making your yes mean something again, and ending the cycle of obligation, burnout, and resentment in relationships. If you struggle with saying no to family, a partner, friends, or coworkers, and you want a clear framework for boundaries, emotional safety, and confident communication, this episode will give you what to listen for in yourself, and what to do next.
