🎧 Episode DescriptionTitle: We Need to Talk... About Talking: Why Communication Is Still the #1 Relationship Killer Tagline: Ghosting, stonewalling, dry texting—modern love has a communication problem. Let's fix it.Description: Welcome to the very first episode of Licensed and Unfiltered — the podcast where we unpack love, sex, and the messy space in between.In this debut episode, we’re tackling one of the most deceptively simple — and consistently destructive — issues in relationships: communication. It’s not always the cheating, the stress, or the explosive fights that end relationships. More often, it’s what goes unspoken: the resentments, assumptions, and missed emotional cues.From ghosting and weaponized indifference to the epidemic of “K.” texts, we explore how modern communication styles — especially in the digital age — are eroding intimacy. Backed by research from The Gottman Institute and real-life therapy room insights, this episode breaks down:The 4 toxic communication styles that predict relationship breakdownsWhy we’re really bad at talking — even when we mean wellHow trauma, texting, and emotional avoidance create a perfect storm for miscommunicationPractical, therapist-approved scripts and tools to start shifting your communication style todayWe’ll also dive into:Why being “chill” might just be code for “emotionally avoidant”What “weaponized indifference” looks like in modern relationshipsThe one powerful question that can change the way you connect with your partner💬 Listener takeaway: Communication isn’t just about being heard — it’s about helping your partner feel safe enough to speak. You’ll leave this episode with real-world tools, reframes, and a gentle push toward more honest connection — even when it’s uncomfortable.🛠️ Whether you’re the one who shuts down or the one who over-explains, this episode will help you understand your default settings — and how to rewrite the script. Because the truth is: relationships don’t die from a lack of love. They die from silence.🎧 Listen now — and if it resonates, leave a review, share with a friend, and visit licensedandunfiltered.com for more tools, upcoming guests, and behind-the-scenes access.Support the show🎙️ Episode Footer 💬 Liked this episode?
