“Frankie’s relationship radar has a kink in the chain,” Terrie Huberman told Showbiz Cheat Sheet.
Following a turbulent year, Taylor Frankie Paul may need to turn her attention inward and examine how she sees herself, according to an intuition specialist who spoke with Showbiz Cheat Sheet.
The problem with Taylor Frankie Paul’s ‘relationship radar’
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star returned to screens this week for the shortened fifth season of Hulu’s popular reality series. The MomTok figure takes center stage as the new episodes explore her strained dynamic with ex-partner Dakota Mortensen. The former couple share a 2-year-old son, Ever.
Paul and Mortensen have dominated headlines for months. Production on SLOMW Season 5 was initially paused after a domestic incident involving the pair. Footage later emerged of a 2023 confrontation in which Taylor threw a chair at Dakota, nearly striking one of her children. ABC then pulled Taylor from the upcoming season of The Bachelorette. As the situation unfolded, she and Dakota went to court to seek competing restraining orders and work through custody arrangements for Ever.
Since then, Paul has discussed domestic violence and mental health with her Instagram followers. As she moves forward in her healing process, Huberman said she should also consider the patterns shaping her own thinking.

“Frankie’s relationship radar has a kink in the chain and it feels like it stems from a thoughtform about her ‘not mattering, anyways, or that her opinions or views don’t count,’” said Huberman, who works with high-performing women and entrepreneurs dealing with overthinking, emotional overwhelm, and indecision. “The energetic attachment to that deep seated belief is what causes her to ignore her intuition when it comes to relationships, therefore she’ll talk herself out of her initial instinct and makes poor choices.”
‘SLOMW’ star should ‘acknowledge her positivity, strengths, and wins’
The mother of three should “lean into and acknowledge her positivity, strengths, and wins in life,” added the author of Overcome Overthinking. “If she focuses her attention there and not on what’s missing in her life, she’ll notice the tides change more towards her favor and direction.”
The SLOMW star needs to go beyond just putting herself first or focusing on self-care, Huberman said. She must acknowledge “that she IS important and isn’t just here for sh*ts and giggles. She DOES matter and she DOES count … she just needs to stop looking outside for that validation.”
“What she could benefit from is an energetic clearing and detaching from the cords that have built up over the years that tell her ‘I’m not important enough, I don’t matter, I don’t count,’” she added. “When she does, she’ll slay these dragons.”
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is streaming on Hulu.
