Some people don’t want intimacy — they want access.

In this episode of It’s Been a Journey, we unpack Proverbs 20:5:
“The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters…”

Not every intention is visible on the surface. Sometimes what feels like connection is convenience. What feels like depth is dependency. And what feels like love is leverage.

We’re talking about:
• Why people hide their true motives
• Emotional manipulation vs. emotional maturity
• Discernment without becoming guarded or bitter
• Learning to listen beyond what’s said

If you’ve ever had to heal after realizing someone loved you for what you provided — not who you are — this conversation is for you.

This episode will help you grow in wisdom, protect your peace, and keep your heart open without being unguarded.

Because healing doesn’t mean you stop loving.
It means you learn who deserves access.
