In this episode of P.S I Love Me, Lynda is joined by Betsy Pake, certified master coach, speaker, and founder of The Navigate Method, who has spent over 12 years helping women navigate one of life's most difficult crossroads: whether to stay in a marriage or walk away. But today, they flip the script. Instead of asking "should I go?", Betsy is here to help women ask the far more powerful question before they ever get there — should I say yes in the first place?

They explore why so many high-achieving women end up exhausted and self-abandoned in relationships, giving endlessly to everyone around them while quietly losing touch with what they actually want. Betsy breaks down the difference between knowing your worth intellectually and truly feeling it in your nervous system and why calibrating on potential instead of action keeps so many women stuck with the wrong person for far too long. From navigating hard conversations about money and family, to whether he actually likes you (not just what you do for him), this episode gives women a clear-eyed framework for choosing a partner wisely.

They also get honest about the guilt of leaving, the hope that keeps women tethered, and how to redirect that hope back to yourself. If you're dating, thinking about committing, or simply determined never to settle again, this one is for you.
