Alysha Jeney explores the emotional complexities behind why women may leave seemingly ideal marriages, highlighting two key factors: the failure to communicate needs vulnerably and the realization that a “box-checked” life doesn’t equal true fulfillment.

Quotes to ponder:
"Just because we are speaking, doesn’t mean our vulnerability and intention is being heard."
"They realize they have created a life that has only 'checked boxes' versus actually being fulfilling in a way they authentically desire."
"Most of us don’t know how to speak at a level 5 with our partner; most of us feel isolated or misunderstood by our partner at times."
