We’ve all been there—mistaking passion for love, intensity for connection, and chaos for chemistry. But why does this happen? In this episode, I dive into how we confuse emotional highs and deep attraction with real, lasting love. I break down the patterns that keep us hooked on the rollercoaster of toxic relationships, why stability can feel “boring,” and how to start recognizing healthy love when we see it. If you’ve ever wondered why you keep chasing the same kind of love that leaves you drained, this episode is for you.

Society tells Black women that we have to be exceptional to be worthy—that we have to outwork, overachieve, and constantly prove ourselves. But what if being “average” is enough? In this episode, I break down the pressure to be extraordinary and why embracing a life of peace, fulfillment, and authenticity is just as powerful. You don’t have to be a “strong Black woman” 24/7 or chase perfection to deserve happiness. Let’s talk about the beauty of just being—without the weight of proving our worth.

Black women are constantly labeled as hard, tough, and unbreakable—but why is softness never part of the conversation? In this episode, I unpack the weight of always being “the strong one” and the emotional toll it takes. We dive into where this hardness comes from, how it affects our relationships with ourselves and others, and why choosing softness is a radical act of self-love. It’s time to rewrite the narrative and give ourselves permission to be cared for, vulnerable, and at peace.
