Episode 17: When One of You Changes First


In this episode of The Healing Project Podcast: You, Me & We, Rosa and Jefferson explore a reality many couples and close relationships experience: growth rarely happens at the same pace.


Sometimes one person begins to change, heal, or gain new clarity before the other. That difference in timing can create confusion, fear, or distance—but it doesn’t have to. Being out of sync doesn’t mean you’re out of love.


Together, Rosa and Jefferson talk about why growth often unfolds unevenly, how power struggles and emotional distance can emerge, and what it looks like to invite growth instead of pressuring it. They also share honestly about navigating seasons when one partner feels ahead or left behind, and how humility, patience, and trust can keep connection alive.


💬 In this episode, you’ll hear about:

✨ Why growth rarely happens at the same pace

✨ The difference between invitation and pressure

✨ How to avoid power struggles when change feels uneven

✨ What it means to model change instead of managing others

✨ How couples can stay connected even when growth feels out of sync


🌱 Key Truths:

Growth is rarely simultaneous.

Different timing doesn’t mean different commitment.

You don’t have to grow at the same speed to grow in the same direction.
