In this episode, I share the 10 non-negotiables I now hold for any future relationship—standards built from hard lessons, deep healing, and a promise to never abandon myself again. From emotional safety and mutual respect to shared vision and kindness in conflict, these are the roots of the love I’m willing to grow.
