<p>In this episode, Ash is joined again by her dad, Rod, for a candid conversation about the real complexities of love and relationships. They unpack topics many people experience but rarely talk about openly, including love addiction, love avoidance, codependency, and what healthy communication actually looks like in practice.</p><p>Drawing on both personal experience and honest reflection, they explore how family dynamics shape the way we love, the patterns we repeat without realising, and what it takes to change them. Ash also opens up about a deeply personal crossroads, her uncertainty around motherhood, and the inner questions that come with choosing a path that feels true rather than expected.</p><p>Their father daughter conversations are always listener favourites, and this is exactly why they continue to shine a light on the honest, nuanced conversations that many people are thinking about, but few feel safe enough to say out loud.</p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br><a href="https://www.instagram.com/ashbutterss" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><br></a></p><p><br><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@behindthesmilewithashb" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><br></a></p><p><br><a href="www.ashbutterss.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><br></a></p><br><p><br></p><br><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/a-return-to-you-one-day-retreat-tickets-1855565048009?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><br></a></p><br><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.ashbutterss.com/the-embodied-woman-retreat" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><br></a></p><p><a href="https://www.ashbutterss.com/bali-retreat-2026" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><br></a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfclluaXT4Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><br></a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
