In this episode, Joa shares her personal experience of learning that love without respect is not love, and that respect is not only for their partner, but also for themselves. The host reflects on their younger years when they didn't respect themselves and would end up with partners who didn't respect them either. It wasn't until they took a five-year break from dating and learned to love and respect themselves that they felt empowered enough to not fear being single. By doing so, the host started to attract the right people into their life. The episode emphasizes the importance of self-respect and self-love as a foundation for a healthy and respectful relationship. The host provides personal examples and encourages listeners to take the time to reflect and work on their own self-respect and self-love.
