You are not meant to suffer your way into love. In this episode, Keshia Rice breaks down one of the biggest relationship traps women fall into—forming friendships and romances rooted in shared pain instead of shared purpose. If you're tired of bonding over brokenness and calling it connection, this episode is the reset you didn't know you needed.

In This Episode:

• Why "trauma bonding" isn't always what you think—but still dangerous
• How we unconsciously build relationships off struggle and chaos
• The toxic comfort of vent culture (and what it's costing you)
• Why elevated conversations = elevated relationships
• How your friend circle might be holding you back (even if they love you)
• What it means to attract partners who reflect your past instead of your growth

You'll Walk Away With:

• A new lens for evaluating your friendships, dates, and DMs
• Questions to ask about your last 5 conversations
• Permission to release connections that are built on pain, gossip, or constant venting
• A blueprint to create relationships that are grounded in peace—not pain

You're allowed to let go of the chaos. You're allowed to create peace. And yes—you're allowed to have a love that feels safe from the very beginning.

Send this to a friend who's done struggling and ready for sacred, soft connection.

If you've ever set a boundary, then broke it five minutes later... this episode is your invitation to pause, reflect, and rebuild—starting with you.

Keshia Rice, dating coach and hypnotherapist, dives into why the hardest boundaries to keep are the ones we set with ourselves—and why those are the ones that matter most. If you're tired of self-sabotaging, ghosting your own growth, or choosing the same emotionally unavailable men on repeat, this episode will help you reset from the inside out.

In this episode:

• The truth about boundaries (and why "just block him" isn't enough)

• How self-discipline leads to freedom, not restriction

• Why your ability to keep a boundary is the real flex

• The spiritual side of boundaries: What the Bible says about guarding your heart

• How to break the habit of dating for distraction (aka "for the plot")

• What it means to be equally yoked—with yourself

You'll walk away with:

• A whole new framework for thinking about boundaries

• A journaling challenge to reveal where you're self-abandoning

• Confidence to walk away from anything that's not aligned

• Permission to expect more—not just from others, but from yourself

Boundaries aren't punishment. They're protection. And the most powerful boundaries? The ones you hold when no one's watching.

Share this with someone who's done being the "nice girl" and ready to become a healed woman with standards.

Marriage doesn't fix loneliness—and a ring won't heal unaddressed wounds. In this eye-opening episode, Keshia Rice breaks down what no one talks about when it comes to long-term commitment: the silent epidemic of unhappily married women.

• How women accidentally settle out of fear and call it "faith"

• Why knowing and loving yourself first is non-negotiable

• How to spiritually and emotionally vet a man (because "he goes to church" isn't enough)

• The hard truth about discipline, self-worth, and what you bring to the relationship

• Why your marriage will mirror what you haven't healed

You'll walk away with:

• A mindset reset on what really makes a marriage last

• Journal prompts to check your heart before you check the "wife" box

• Permission to wait well—and protect your peace at all costs

• Steps to build a life that's already full before love arrives
