In this episode, we explore the question every woman in a relationship or dating has likely asked herself: Is he my person? Join me as we dive into the signs of a healthy, fulfilling partnership versus a relationship that may not be serving you. I’ll share the questions I’ve learned to ask myself to evaluate whether a relationship is worth investing in—questions that go beyond chemistry to focus on trust, values, communication, and mutual effort.

We’ll discuss:

• How to recognize consistency, respect, and thoughtfulness in a partner.
• Identifying deal breakers and understanding their impact on your long-term happiness.
• The importance of conflict resolution and what it reveals about your relationship.
• Why it’s essential to look at how you’re showing up, not just your partner.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, questioned whether you’re settling, or wondered if you’re in a situationship, this episode will guide you toward clarity and empowerment. It’s time to stop chasing and start aligning with the relationship you deserve.

Tune in to gain actionable insights and discover what it means to be your own best advocate in love and life.

This episode addresses the harmful practice of blaming survivors for their experiences or reactions to abuse, particularly in cases of narcissistic abuse. Key points include:

• Definition of Victim Blaming: This occurs when someone shares an abusive experience, and the other person blames them for their reaction or for tolerating the behavior.
• Narcissists' Tactics: Narcissists often target strong, successful women, slowly eroding their confidence and boundaries over time, like a river wearing down a rock.
• Challenges with Therapy: Therapists who lack personal experience with trauma or narcissistic abuse may fail to understand its complexities. This can lead to harmful responses, such as blaming the survivor or dictating their choices, which can retraumatize them.
• Social Isolation: Friends and family may only see the narcissist's public persona and doubt the survivor's account of abuse. This disbelief compounds the survivor's sense of isolation and harm.
• Importance of Support: Survivors, especially those who lived with their abuser, need validation and support. Blaming them only deepens their trauma.
• Historical Silencing: Historically, women were denied the power to share their truths. Reclaiming their voice and telling their story is crucial for healing.
• Therapeutic Manipulation: In joint counseling, narcissists may manipulate the therapist, further harming the survivor.

The episode emphasizes the importance of believing and supporting survivors to aid their healing and empower them to reclaim their truth and power.

In this heartfelt episode, I open up about navigating the end of a relationship that ended suddenly and unexpectedly just before the holidays. Without the usual progression of a relationship fading over time, the recovery has been uniquely challenging. I share my journey of giving myself permission to grieve—allowing space for my feelings while setting a date to start moving forward.

Grief is messy, healing is imperfect, and that’s okay. Taking time alone for self-reflection has been a powerful tool for me, and I encourage you to honor your own grief while recognizing the value of setting boundaries around it. Breakups, while painful, can also be opportunities for incredible growth and positive change.

I discuss my decision to no longer give second chances in relationships where the underlying reasons for the breakup remain unresolved. This clarity has strengthened my resolve to date with intention, to see past relationships not as failures but as lessons, and to focus on helping other women navigate their relationships.

Healing is a journey, and small changes add up to transformative ones over time. It’s never too late to begin loving yourself, to seek healthy relationships, and to gain clarity on what you truly want. Let this episode inspire you to give yourself grace, honor your feelings, and keep striving for the love and life you deserve.
