When Overwhelm Builds Walls: How to Let Your Husband In

Welcome to another heartfelt episode of The You Matter Podcast. I’m Amanda Beilke, your relationship coach and founder of the Love Map Institute. Today, we’re having a real conversation about a common struggle many women face: pushing our husbands away when we feel overwhelmed. As life gets chaotic with responsibilities piling up, it’s easy to shut out the very person who is meant to be our partner in navigating these challenges.

Join me as I share personal insights and practical strategies to help you open the door to communication and support in your marriage. Whether you’re handling kids, work, or household tasks, this episode is designed to remind you that you don’t have to carry the weight alone. We’ll discuss why we often feel the need to handle everything ourselves and how this can lead to feelings of loneliness and resentment in our relationships.
