When you look at your relationships, romantic and otherwise, how do you feel?

Do you feel good? Do you feel safe? Respected? Loved?

What sort of relationships were modeled for you as a kid? What unhealthy behaviors have been romanticized or normalized in our culture?

And if something is unhealthy...maybe even unsafe...do you know what to do? Do you know what options are available to you?

I know this is heavy stuff, but it's also important stuff. And just part of what Kayla and I talk about in this episode.
