What To Do When You Don’t Trust Your Partner

Trust is the foundation of every healthy relationship—and when it breaks, it can feel like your world is unraveling. In this deeply honest and empowering episode, Dr. Zoe speaks to the woman who finds herself in the painful in-between: staying in a relationship with a partner she no longer fully trusts.

Whether the betrayal is emotional, financial, or physical—or the result of consistent minimization of your needs—Dr. Zoe shares five powerful steps to help you regain clarity, agency, and peace. This episode isn’t about making the decision to stay or leave. It’s about choosing you—your healing, your stability, your voice.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Why radical honesty is the first step to healing
• How to detach your emotional stability from your partner’s behavior
• What clear, consequential boundaries actually sound like
• How to reclaim your agency instead of waiting for change
• Why grieving the loss of trust is necessary—before you can truly choose your next step
