Send us Fan Mail

Have you ever felt stuck, invisible, or like you’re disappearing in your relationships with friends, family, work, or romantic partners? In this first episode of Wait, Let’s Talk About That, Dr. Lee Long and co-host Lila Pond introduce the WAIT Framework, a simple, practical strategy to help you pause, check in with yourself, and start showing up fully as you in every relationship.

Through relatable stories, real listener questions, and actionable takeaways, Dr. Lee and Lila guide you to:

• Notice where you’ve been disappearing or adapting too much
• Understand why you react the way you do in relationships
• Take small steps to reclaim your voice and presence

By the end of the episode, you’ll have a roadmap to stop getting lost in others’ moods and decisions and instead bring your healthiest “me” to the “we.” This week’s challenge? Notice one moment where you tend to disappear and take one small action to show up as yourself.

Pause. Reflect. Ask yourself: Where am I in this?
