  You Planned the Wedding, But Did You Prepare for the Marriage?

  Oct 2, 202639 min

  Couples spend months debating venues, guest lists, flowers, and seating charts—often without ever discussing how they will manage money, resolve heated conflict, handle family boundaries, or navigate invisible labor. A wedding changes your legal and relationship status, but it doesn't automatically change your emotional habits or communication patterns. In this episode of Dating Déjà Vu , licensed marriage and family therapist Christina breaks down PREPARE/ENRICH: what it actually is, why difference doesn’t equal dysfunction, and how engaged and newlywed couples can replace unspoken assumptions with clear, healthy agreements before small misunderstandings become hardwired patterns. In this episode, we cover: Why love alone doesn’t answer the practical questions of married life What PREPARE/ENRICH is (and why it is not a compatibility test or a pass/fail exam) The hidden trap of engagement idealism: facts vs. fears vs. fantasy Why the newlywed stage is one of the best times to do relationship work The real meaning underneath recurring arguments about chores, money, and in-laws How your family-of-origin rules secretly enter your marriage What working with a certified PREPARE/ENRICH facilitator actually looks like Tune in now! - Let's connect: Schedule a clarity call with me (AZ residents only): https://igniteambition.com/ Send me your questions: https://bit.ly/43FWH70 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/datingdejavupod/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

  Why You Can't Let Go: The Psychology of Taylor Frankie Paul & Dakota's Trauma Bond

  Sep 25, 202643 min

  Is it love or are you addicted to the chaos? In this episode of Dating Deja Vu, Christina Hathaway breaks down Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen’s on-again, off-again relationship and the controversial idea of trauma bonding. Their story raises an uncomfortable question: can intense chemistry actually be a sign of an unhealthy attachment? Christina explores why we confuse chaos with chemistry, why healthy love can feel “boring,” and why missing someone doesn’t mean you should go back to them. Because sometimes what feels like love… is just familiarity.

  Call Her Mommy: Are You Mothering Your Partner?

  Sep 18, 202625 min

  When did you stop being his girlfriend and start being his mother? Maybe you're reminding him about appointments, helping him find a job, managing the household, planning the dates, remembering important birthdays, or constantly telling him what needs to get done. Little by little, you may find yourself carrying not just your share of the relationship—but responsibility for his life, too. In this episode of Dating Deja Vu, Christina Hathaway breaks down what happens when a relationship shifts from partnership into a dynamic where one person over-functions and the other under-functions. You'll hear about: The difference between supporting your partner and carrying your partner How the over-functioning/under-functioning relationship dynamic develops Why constantly rescuing or reminding your partner can reinforce the pattern The invisible mental load of remembering, planning, organizing, and anticipating everything Why becoming your partner's caretaker can affect resentment, attraction, and intimacy The difference between a temporary season of imbalance and a permanent relationship dynamic Why being needed can sometimes feel like being loved How dating someone's potential can keep you stuck in a relationship with who you hope they'll become What happens when you stop over-functioning and allow your partner to take responsibility Why interdependence is different from dependence How to start looking at the patterns you're participating in, choosing, and tolerating If you've ever found yourself thinking, “Why am I always the one doing everything?”, this episode invites you to look beyond what your partner isn't doing and get curious about the role you've taken on in the relationship. Stop focusing on the fantasy of who someone could become. Step back, allow them to show you who they are, and pay attention to the facts. - Let's connect: Schedule a clarity call with me (AZ residents only): https://igniteambition.com/ Send me your questions: https://bit.ly/43FWH70 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/datingdejavupod/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

  Quiet Quitting Your Relationship: 7 Signs You’re Emotionally Checked Out

  Sep 11, 202632 min

  You may not be fighting. You may not be thinking about divorce. You may still share a home, raise your kids, have sex, pay the bills, and look like a perfectly functional couple from the outside. But what happens when you’ve stopped trying? In this episode of Dating Deja Vu, Christina Hathaway explores the increasingly common idea of “quiet quitting” a relationship—when you remain physically present but become emotionally disconnected from your partner. It’s not necessarily about no longer caring. Sometimes, it happens because you cared, tried, asked, and were disappointed so many times that eventually, you stopped believing anything would change. The episode also explores why independence can sometimes mask relational resignation, how unequal mental and emotional labor can contribute to withdrawal, and why conflict isn't always a bad sign. Sometimes anger and frustration mean there is still emotional investment; indifference can signal something much deeper. If you’ve ever felt like you’re still in your relationship but no longer truly in it, this episode is for you. Because sometimes the absence of conflict doesn't mean there’s peace. Sometimes it means you've stopped caring enough to fight. Listen now and get curious about what your emotional withdrawal might be telling you. - Let's connect: Schedule a clarity call with me: https://igniteambition.com/ Send me your questions: https://bit.ly/43FWH70 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/datingdejavupod/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

  The 5 Red Flags You’re Dating an Emotionally Immature Person

  Sep 4, 202636 min

  What does emotional immaturity look like in dating? It’s not about being sensitive, emotional, or having big feelings. It’s about what someone does with those feelings when they feel hurt, rejected, criticized, disappointed, or vulnerable. In this episode of Dating Deja Vu, Christina Hathaway breaks down 5 signs you may be dating an emotionally immature person and explains how emotional immaturity can show up in romantic relationships. Using Pia Mellody’s developmental model of the wounded child, adapted adolescent, and functional adult, Christina explains why some people become defensive, controlling, retaliatory, or withdrawn when they feel emotionally activated—and how those patterns can create unhealthy relationship dynamics. You’ll learn how to recognize: The need to be right instead of the need to understand Attempts to control your emotions, behaviors, and choices Attacking, defending, or withdrawing when vulnerable Retaliation and “tit for tat” behavior after getting hurt The tendency to turn a relationship into “me versus you” instead of “me, you, and us” Christina also turns the mirror back on us. Because emotional immaturity isn't only something to identify in a dating partner—it can also show up in our own patterns. People-pleasing, controlling, pursuing someone who withdraws, or disappearing when intimacy feels uncomfortable can all be ways of protecting a wounded part of ourselves. Most importantly, emotional maturity doesn't mean never getting triggered. It means recognizing when you’re activated, slowing down, taking responsibility, communicating your needs, respecting boundaries, and repairing after conflict. If you’re dating, pay attention to how someone behaves when things don't go their way. How they respond to conflict, disappointment, boundaries, rejection, or being told “no” can tell you far more about their emotional maturity than how they behave when everything is going well. Because sometimes it’s deja vu but it also might be you. - Let's connect: Schedule a clarity call with me: https://igniteambition.com/ Send me your questions: https://bit.ly/43FWH70 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/datingdejavupod/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
