In this episode of Mama, Let’s Talk, I open up an honest conversation about what love should actually feel like. I share my own story of missing early red flags in a relationship and what I’ve learned about the difference between love that feels safe and love that slowly chips away at who you are.

In this real and relatable conversation, I help teens and young women recognize the small warning signs: jealousy that feels controlling, “jokes” that sting, or guilt that pressures you into things you don’t want to do. I also paint a clear picture of what healthy love looks like: respect, freedom, support, and safety. I close with practical advice on setting boundaries and finding support if you, or someone you love, need help.
