Are you waiting for this moment to KNOW if your partner is “the one”? 😳✨

Ever find yourself wondering, “Is this THE relationship?” Waiting for that magical moment of certainty to just hit? 💭

Do you feel triggered when you hear the phrase "When you know, you know" … but YOU never knew? You’ve always felt uncertain. You’ve never had this big, WOW moment where your partner is just obviously "THE ONE."

Are you supposed to know?

Maybe you’ve never been sure about your partner or your relationship.

It’s called relationship anxiety… and I’ve got you. 🖤

Because honestly? That phrase used to trigger me hard when I felt uncertain in my own relationship.

 

Today on The Anxious to Secure Podcast 🎙️

We’re unpacking the myth of "When you know, you know"—
and why it might be setting you up to doubt yourself and your relationship. 💔

But don’t worry, I’ll also share some empowering questions you can ask yourself instead.

 

In this episode, we’ll dive into…

⚡ How the "When you know, you know" myth creates unrealistic expectations.
⚡ My personal story of doubt vs. certainty in my current relationship (spoiler: I had MORE doubts than ever after the honeymoon phase!).
⚡ What real love actually looks like—and why it’s not black-and-white.
⚡ How anxious attachment gets triggered when you feel uncertain.
⚡ Coaching questions to help you stop overthinking and start building true security.

 

The truth?
You don’t need a HUGE sign to feel safe in your relationship.

It’s not about waiting for certainty. It’s about doing the work, calming your anxious thoughts, and deciding to go ALL IN. ✨
