If you've ever been in a dating relationship and/or marriage that ended, you've had a reflection moment afterward.

Keep the connections. Long Distance Friendships can be hard but they are rewarding when everyone can work together.

Even in your waiting, make sure that you date yourself ALWAYS!

In case you're Single and tired, DON'T GIVE UP. 

Rhuneisha speaks about her experience and why it's important to keep going. 

When we think of friendships, we think of those who have been closest to us for a long time. We think of those that we can confide in, laugh, cry with, and share life with. BUT! We never consider being a friend to ourselves. In order to be a friend, you have to show yourself friendly even to thine own self. 

Today's guest, Dr. Heather James, shares the importance of befriending yourself and taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional health.

Your sound decision to move away from the place and people that you've every known can be rewarding and heartbreaking all at once. 

While others are celebrating your bravery to move on, others are devastated and feeling betrayed. But for the friends who are cheering for you, you find a way to stay connected. Sometimes it's hard, but you're intentional about nourishing those friendships. 

Today's guest, Charlene, shares her story and experience of friendship, long-distance. 

The dating world has changed drastically and some are giving up on the idea of ever walking down the aisle.   But some are holding onto their faith no matter how grim the dating world can be.
