Speak Honest Podcast: Real Talk on Relationships, Attachment Styles & the Work of Healing Childhood Trauma

55. I Got Dressed Up for Him… And His Response Was NOT It | Coaching Call with Jenna

Jennifer Noble, ACC | Certified Relationship, Dating, NLP, & IAT Coach Episode 55

Ever put in the effort to feel sexy for your partner, only to feel totally unseen? That’s exactly what happened to Jenna. She got all dressed up, expecting a reaction that never came. Instead, she got a casual “You look cute.” And just like that... BAM—hurt feelings, a major argument, and a downward spiral of insecurity.

But here’s the twist—Jenna and her boyfriend actually started working through it before our session. And in this coaching call, we go even deeper. We unpack covert expectations, the anxious-avoidant cycle, and how to communicate your needs without setting yourself up for disappointment.

You might want to listen if:

  • You’ve ever felt rejected or unappreciated in your relationship
  • You struggle to communicate your needs without it turning into a fight
  • You feel like your partner just doesn’t get it when it comes to emotional connection
  • You catch yourself overanalyzing your partner’s reactions and spiraling into self-doubt
  • You want to feel more secure, confident, and heard in your relationship
