About the Book

You, Me, and the Space Between is a relationship self-help book for anyone who still believes in love, even when it feels a little lost.

It’s for the couples who look at each other and know there’s still something worth holding onto, even through the silence, even through the distance.

It’s for the quiet ache of missing someone who is right there beside you, and for the quiet hope that you can find your way back to each other.

This isn’t a book about perfect endings or fairy tales.

It’s about the real work of love, choosing each other, even on the hard days.

It’s about meeting the difficult moments with softness instead of armour, learning how to hear each other again, and slowly rebuilding the bridge between two hearts.

If your relationship feels strong but stuck, or if you’re struggling to find the words, You, Me, and the Space Between will meet you where you are.

It’s a gentle guide back to connection, to understanding, and to the kind of love that feels like home again.

You’re not broken. You’re not alone.

And sometimes, all it takes is a little help finding your way back.

Sneak Peek

From the Introduction:

“Love isn’t just about meeting the right person. That part is exciting, sure. It’s butterflies and long conversations and all the firsts. But it’s what comes after that really counts.”

From the Dedication:

“For the softness you brought into my life after the storm. For every moment you chose love when it would have been easier to shut down...”

These pages are filled with raw honesty, soft reminders, practical tools, and real stories from a journey through healing, love, and learning to grow together.

About the Author

Leo Rodrigues is a personal trainer, massage therapist, and now a first-time author. Growing up, Leo rarely spoke about his feelings. Emotions were something you were expected to handle on your own. There weren’t open conversations about needs or boundaries; you simply learnt as you went, often pushing your own feelings aside just to get through.

This pattern followed him into adulthood, leading to a series of toxic relationships where real communication and emotional safety were missing. Love became something that felt heavy, confusing, and exhausting.

Everything began to shift when Leo made a conscious decision to pause. He stepped away from relationships, choosing instead to stay single and take the time to truly get to know himself, what he needed, what he wanted, and who he was outside of anyone else’s expectations. For the first time, he gave himself permission to slow down and reconnect with his own heart.

During this season of self-discovery, Leo met his wife, building a relationship grounded in mutual growth, honesty, and emotional safety. Later on, therapy became another important part of his journey, helping him untangle old patterns, heal deep-rooted wounds, and build an even stronger foundation for his life and marriage.

Today, Leo is passionate about helping others deepen their emotional connections and create relationships that feel like home. When he is not coaching or writing, he pours his love for authenticity into photography, capturing real emotions and quiet moments that often say more than words ever could.

For Leo, feelings have always been at the heart of everything, whether it is through a lens, through love, or through the long, sometimes messy, but beautiful process of healing and growth.
