Episode description as stored
Resentment rarely begins with one dramatic betrayal. More often, it builds quietly through unmet needs, unspoken expectations, unresolved conflict, and the small disappointments we convince ourselves aren't worth mentioning.
In this solo episode, Dr. Jenn Kennedy explores why resentment is one of the biggest threats to emotional and physical intimacy. She explains how it develops over time, the subtle signs it's taking hold, and why avoiding difficult conversations often creates more distance than the conflict itself.
You'll learn:
Why resentment is a "slow leak" in relationships
The most common causes of resentment
How to recognize the warning signs before they damage your connection
Why keeping score erodes intimacy
Practical strategies for communicating needs and repairing conflict earlier
Whether you're feeling disconnected from your partner or simply want to strengthen your relationship before resentment takes root, this episode offers practical tools to help you create more honesty, trust, and lasting connection.
