He texts regularly and even tells you he misses you — but the moment you ask what you actually are, he goes quiet. This episode breaks down why emotionally unavailable men keep circling back without ever committing, and why this hot-and-cold pattern is one of the most common ‘bad feeling’ relationship dynamics women fall into without realising it.
In this episode:
The four real reasons he won't commit but won't let you go
Why this isn't about you not being "enough"
The one question to ask instead of "why won't he commit?"
How to set boundaries, stop providing access, and step back for good

21. Fear Of Intimacy or Intuition?
Is It My Intuition, Or My Fear Of Intimacy? How To Tell — with Raj Lehl Holistic nervous system specialist. The nervous system, dating anxiety, and how to tell intuition from fear
Ever wondered why you keep ending up in the same kind of relationship, even when you swore you'd do it differently? Or why your body feels on edge the moment things get closer — even when your head knows better?
In this episode, relationship coach for women Naomie Thompson is joined by holistic nervous system specialist Raj Lehl to explore the real, physical side of love. So much of what we chalk up to bad luck in dating, or "just being anxious," is actually your nervous system trying to protect you — based on things your body hasn't let go of yet.
If your head and heart are saying yes but something in you says absolutely not, this episode is for you.
We cover:
How stored trauma shows up in dating — cancelling dates, scanning for red flags, pulling away when it deepens
Why self-aware women still repeat the patterns they understand cognitively
How to tell the difference between intuition and fear of intimacy
Exercising your right to say no — and walk away — without explaining it to anyone, including yourself
Why we're drawn to the wrong man because his unavailability feels familiar
The airport story: how Raj moved through a big trigger without taking it out on her partner
Congruent communication, and how it creates a sanctuary relationship in moments
Two tools for hard conversations — walking side by side, and staying in physical contact
Why calm is contagious, and how we mirror each other's nervous systems
Knowing yourself as the real meaning of being an adored woman
Raj shares some free resources, including a panic attack recovery guide and a meditation — links below.

20. Am I In A Situationship? How To Tell Where You Really Stand. The signs you're in a situationship — and what to do about it
Am I in a situationship? If you're unsure then this episode is for you.
You're seeing someone. It's been months — maybe even years. And you still couldn't say what you actually are to each other, because neither of you has ever had the conversation.
Relationship coach for women Naomie Thompson explains what a situationship is, how it differs from a committed relationship, why they've become so normalised, and the six signs to look for. Then, more importantly, what to do next — whether you're in one now or want to guard yourself from drifting into one.
Because a situationship is not a natural stage of the relationship process. And it's costing you time, energy, emotions — and maybe even your baby making years.
Whether you're dating in your 40s, dating after divorce, or stuck in something that's never moved forward, this episode will help you see where you really stand — and give you the words to find out.
We cover:
What a situationship actually is, and how it's different from a committed relationship
Why situationships have become normalised — and why they're not a stage you have to go through
Six signs you're in one, including the mixed signals most women explain away
Who's avoiding the honest conversation — and why
Why oxytocin bonds you to a man regardless of whether he's right for you
Why his silence dysregulates you — and why that's your nervous system, not neediness
The relief when he comes back, and why it isn't the sign of love it feels like
Being unbothered vs pretending to be unbothered — and why the cool girl act is just another audition
Why the relationship you want is the prize, not the man — and how to become the star of your own show
The leaky boat: why a lovely man who isn't ready can't get you to your destination
How to have the conversation from your feelings rather than an interrogation
Watching his actions over weeks, letting him earn your commitment, and knowing when it's time to go
