In this episode I share with you my own thoughts about "familiarity" in a relationship after an abusive one as I reflect on my life in 2023.

Welcome to the Dontbeacrumqueen podcast.  My name is Sher and I’m your host.

All of us are in some sort of relationship today.  Whether it is with friends, family, spouse or a romantic relationship any of them can come to an end.  When that happens, we all want some level of closure.  If you were in a relationship where you were both mature, healthy adults, having closure means you each accept the relationship is over and own your part in that.  It’s saying goodbye, wishing them well, and focusing on your own Healing Journey.

In a world where challenges seem to be a daily occurrence, there’s a time when “Being the Bigger Person” or as some people say “Taking the High Road” is valuable, especially when dealing with difficult or toxic people.

Welcome to the Dontbeacrumqueen podcast.  My name is Sher and I’m your host.

Trusting your intuition sounds like it should be an easy thing to do but unfortunately that’s not always the case, especially when it comes to relationships and our emotions are involved.  Lines get blurred and we mistake our fears for our intuition.  

So, how can you learn to really “trust your gut” and discern the difference between fearful, anxious emotions from past experiences and what your intuition is really telling you?

Loving yourself enough to put yourself first.  Well if that isn’t something we’ve heard our whole life, how it is incredibly selfish to do.  Not only is that an untrue statement but it is imperative for us to do so.  

Standing up for yourself.  What an awesome concept, right?  Easy?  Not really.  Uncomfortable, yes!  Something you can learn?  Absolutely.

Despite common beliefs, standing up for yourself does NOT mean you’re a bitch.  Quite the contrary.  It means you’ve arrived at this place in Life where you know who you are and what you’ll tolerate from others in the way that they treat you.  You’ve realized your Worth and the importance of guarding your heart.  Drawing a line in the sand shows maturity, evolution, and healing on your part.

Today I want to chat about being with the right person for YOU in a relationship.  I don’t know about you but I have several people in my life who are with someone and find themselves wondering if they’re really with the right person for them.

I think the majority of people who are in relationships are looking for a life partner.  Sure, you are going to run into people who are serial daters and have no interest in commitment but most of us want something long-term with the right person.  I mean who wants to spend a lot of time investing in a relationship with the wrong person although, we do it.

In this episode, I want to share some thoughts with you on what a “Healthy vs. Unhealthy” relationship looks like.  I’m pretty sure none of us are in a relationship because we want a bad one but unfortunately sometimes that’s where we find ourselves.  So how can you make sure you don’t end up there?

You know the statement “We attract what we are”?  Well, there’s validity to it.

In this episode, I’m going to share my thoughts on why I believe “You Can’t Fix Anyone”.  Many of us enter a relationship with the thought (whether consciously or subconsciously) that we can fix certain things about a person.  While I DO believe that we can inspire people, we simply don’t have the power to change anyone.  Believing that you can blinds you to what is staring you right in the face, red flags.

In this episode, I’m going to talk about how “Toxicity Takes a Toll” especially when it comes to relationships.  However, it also applies to a toxic work environment, a family household or even a friendship.

So, how do you know when something is toxic?
