Let's be real, love and connection are what we crave, right? But sometimes, those very connections can become sources of deep pain, leaving us feeling drained, confused, and honestly, questioning our own worth.
I've been there. I've felt that knot in my stomach, that constant walking on eggshells, that little voice inside whispering that something isn't right, even when I desperately wanted it to be.
This episode isn't about pointing fingers or placing blame. It's about recognizing those unhealthy patterns, those subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways a relationship can erode your spirit.
We'll talk about the red flags I wish I'd seen sooner, the internal battles I fought, and the incredibly difficult but ultimately liberating journey of acknowledging and addressing the toxicity.
More than anything, this is a conversation for anyone who's ever felt trapped, minimized, or like they're losing themselves in a relationship.
It's a reminder that you're not alone, and that healing and healthier connections are absolutely possible. We'll explore some practical steps โ small shifts you can make, boundaries you can try to establish, and maybe even the courage it takes to consider walking away.
This isn't easy stuff, and I'm not claiming to have all the answers. But I'm sharing my own experiences and insights with you, hoping that something resonates, that it offers a flicker of understanding or a nudge of encouragement.
Because you deserve relationships that lift you up, that nurture your soul, and that allow you to be fully, authentically you. Let's navigate this together.
