In this episode, Dr. Tracy shares a personal story about a mug left beside the sink—and how something so small can symbolize something much bigger in a relationship. Sitting with her husband, Greg, they explore how resentment builds in everyday moments, especially during busy seasons like summer when couples often shift into "roommate mode."
They talk about:
How micro-moments can quietly erode connection
Why summer often intensifies disconnection
The importance of naming resentment before it explodes
How to feel more like a team
