Are Language Barriers Hurting Your Relationship? | Cultural Chemistry #12

In this episode of Cultural Chemistry, Josh and Jayda dive into one of the biggest challenges in multicultural relationships: language barriers. What feels manageable early on can become a serious roadblock to emotional intimacy, trust, and connection—especially when partners struggle to fully express how they feel or what they mean.

Language limitations don’t just affect conversation—they impact emotional safety, timing, and even conflict resolution. But instead of being a weakness, language gaps can become a strength when couples learn how to slow down, simplify, and tune into each other’s energy and body language.

This episode covers how language forces both people to become more intentional: fewer assumptions, clearer meaning, and deeper presence. It’s also a real look at the hilarious and frustrating moments of “telepathic” connection, clothing coincidences, and food cravings that somehow always align.

For anyone navigating cross-cultural communication or feeling misunderstood in their relationship, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and real tools for connection beyond words.
