It’s beautiful to see a basketball wife who doesn’t have a bbl, or an ‘Instagram baddie” or whatever other stereotypes. She has her own career, her own identity, her own style and her man loves her regardless. This definitely made me feel a lot better about my insecurities of not feeling adequate enough for love or marriage cause im not a “baddie”

Girl you are a baddie ! Social media makes us women feel like we have to look a certain way in order to be desirable, but all those IG ‘baddies’ with the perfect shape still get cheated on lol. Not laughing at anyone’s pain!! Just writing this to tell you you’re beautiful and all women are;; men might be attracted or turn their head for a body/flesh; but they don’t STAY or LOVE because of one. What matters is on the inside. 🫶🏼🙏🏽🦋

Did you not hear her say 'she's that girl' that's why she's not like the wives you mentioned.

Thank god for KZread because it literally gave me so much guidance in my single journey, my search for love, and in my current relationship

Nina and I have a lot in common being introverts and being married to larger than life men. I always feel like people expect so much out of me, and I just want to go home and read a book most of the time 😂😂.

Most people who say they are in love, have never been in love. What they have, is a strong PHYSICAL ATTRACTION to another person. You have to be with someone for YEARS before you can declare that you love them. You can't just meet someone and a week later say you are in love with them, when you don't even know that person...it takes a long time to get to know a person. You can't be in love with someone you don't know. So again, what most people call love, is merely a physical attraction to someone else...nothing more...and when that physical attraction dies off...they break up...but they say they fell out of love. Love doesn't die. A parent does not stop loving their child...that's real love.

I agree with other users, I think Nina really failed to provide answers of any substance. However, I think this can be attributed to your line of questions. It seems like this interview was the first time Nina was asked these type of questions and you could see her become engaged in her thoughts and very pensive. I dont think she doesnt have a meaningful response but rather she was really reflecting on these types of questions and trying to find the core of what her perspective is. You can tell towards the end of the interview she hit her stride and had more in depth responses.

Most people are not narcisists. I do think there are a lot of people that have narcissistic wound and/or operate from narcissistic principles

I sense her guard up surrounding her relationship and that’s her choice, but I wonder how effective she is in discussions like this one that require transparency

Nothing wrong with women that like to dress or wear heels to a game. But like she said, it’s the mindset and reason behind

Marriages do take work, mostly self development work. But I have never not wanted to put in the work for my husband. I’ve always wanted to be with him and vice versa. I think that’s what matters.

It’s very rare that a marriage lasts for the entirety of our lives. Humans are complex and our needs, desires, standards and preference change drastically over time and more often than not, it doesn’t align with our partner. A divorce isn’t the end of the world. Be grateful for the love that was experienced and shared.

3:58 I agree! why do we always show the excitement of being in love but when things are falling apart or end we see nothing or get no explanation of what happened

@torrionahmiller4239

Because it’s probably embarrassing to many people especially if it was very public or ended abruptly. And there’s the fact that it’s two sides to every story and it just ends up being more messy to publicly address. But at the same time, by opening up your relationship and showing all the good parts and honeymoon phases you are opening yourself and your relationship up for criticism so I can see why people feel the need to know what happened when it does end. Personally I keep my romantic life private for the very reasons I’ve stated above. Technically you don’t owe anyone an explanation but in the same sense you can’t be mad if people have questions and what to know cause you shared so much. It’s tricky

Can I be honest? I really struggled with this episode. Shan really carried it for the most part, really prompting her guest to give more. But even when prompted, the guest couldn't come up with any real substantive answers for the HOW part of staying in marriage outside of "being committed." I feel like Shan was really trying to get practical about what "work" means, but this woman talked for an hour about a whole lot of nothing. No disrespect to her, but if she's a family therapist I was expecting her to approach the conversation with tools and ideas. Instead it was a lot of fluff.

Yes! The only thing I got out of this is the “work” it takes to stay in this kind of relationship is MONEY. If my man was bringing home millions I would stay with his ass too. I bet if he weren’t rich this episode would look a lot different 😅

I ❤ watching Russell and Nina Westbrook and learning more about them. At times it can be a bit awkward, but I am understanding of the introvert nature, empathize with their focus on their relationship and children, as well as managing their peace because of careers. In spite of everything, I was able to glean some valuable nuggets from viewing the podcast. I believe she is a very intelligent and respectable person and I pray for her continued evolution and success. I hope both women prosper in their future endeavors. Thank you for sharing.✌

I love this show. Feels like relationship boot camp/pre-study and I'm in the space where I can't get enough of the info, insights, and conversations. 💜

Always a great listen, I’m learning and unlearning so much through each episode I do watch and I’m thankful for all the different perspectives from those who care to improve connections with humans. It’s so easy to find things deterring connections these days and honestly I feel that we all need connections, it makes us human and alive. I am grateful for connections.

This woman is a breath of fresh air! She done my soul good today. Blessings ladies. 🙏🏼

I enjoyed this interview with Nina Westbrook. She was clear in what the secret is for her marriage working up until this point: Commitment to each other and seeing it through. Acceptance of each other. Honesty. Willingness to work on the issues and actually fix them. Knowing that sacrifice is apart of this journey. Setting expectations for how you and your partner do life, not based on what others think it should be. There was so much in what she said directly, what was implied…..the gems were dropped through the entire interview. She allowed us a glimpse into their world that was just enough. Perfect even. 🙏🏾

Love hearing these dialogs I've never been in a relationship before and wouldn't put my self in that situations but it's nice to hear people's opinions on these topics

Uuuhhh the intro gets me all the time! Always have to go back and replay it at the end of every episode

THIS conversation was rich, layered and accessible

I truly enjoyed the content and dialogue! Very informative 😊

I hacer watching since the beginning and I can truly say I have enjoyed every step of the way ❤

Bring on Tabitha Brown!

Love this

I am her! Nina is me😊! What her father did with her, is what everyone in my family did with me. I'm a mil wife to an extrovert.

Our fav duo!!

Just had a 😮 moment when I realized that my job is taking care of children so being a mom in fact is not hardwork for me… (I mean it still challenging some times but it bring me so much joy) Loved this episode ! Thank you so much

Nina did great. Very inspiring msg 2 b true 2 urself❤

Oh my God finally someone that thinks exactly like me. Very Happy being Alone and this is why I flip out when I feel like my space is being turned into a unhealthy atmosphere. My Peace means everything to me. I value my time in a very positive special way. And only because I need to put that wall up to protect myself from being taken advantage of in any way.

High quality conversation

Ryu immediately: Yes! 😂😂😂😂

Hi Shan, I appreciate your perspective on highlighting the challenges of public-facing relationships. It's crucial to share both the good and bad sides, but I felt today's guest was somewhat reserved about her struggles. Providing more context and personal anecdotes could help listeners like me connect better with her experiences. Ex: I gave a lot because my partner requires so much as a person so I had to realign my boundaries VS. I have always been the type to bridge the gap/do what seems necessary without thinking, and because my husband requires a lot (like me matching his social battery) I realize over time I had to set boundaries and tap out before earlier. Thanks for addressing this important topic! Still tuning in for more 👍🏾

Love your content. It would be really interesting to see Nathaniel Drew on your platform.

She's litterally Melanie "Med School" from The Game 😊

what she says at the 18 min-ish mark. yes! that part!

Yes, yes, yes they do...even when kids are involved! 😂😊

Marriage is work and there is no paycheck ( have raised child for free not able work for my self )

How do u know when someone is committed?, to me they don’t stray from conflict, they want to find resolution because they want a better understanding not just to make those bad feelings go away

Did you put this on Podcasts… i cant find it

The real Melanie from The Game but the game is Basketball lol

MARRIAGE IS WITH GOD 100% GOD IS THE ONLY SECRET. NO GOD AS YOUR GLUE? NO LONGEVITY NO NOTHING ❤ GOD IS THE "WORK" GOD BLESS

I expected more “therapist” advice or commentary from her.

A star has five points

She wanted her man even taller than 6'3. Preference preference preference

Loved this conversation! I always get so impatient and listen to the pod but watching it takes it next level so I might just have to wait from now on 🤍 much love Shan
