Many people almost often shy away from the hard situations and difficult conversations because it’s easier to ignore them than to face them head-on. Well, here’s my spoiler for you: You will need to face them one way or another. You will need to confront them because them coming into your life is not a matter of “if,” but “when.” 

In the first episode of our “Let’s Talk About It” segment, we will be talking about relationships. Why do some relationships last and some don’t? Drawing from my own experiences, I will be sharing a few thoughts that you can reflect on for you to build new relationships and take the existing ones to the next level.
