Are you tired of asking, ‘Why do I keep ending up in the same kind of relationship?' or ‘How do I find someone who's actually right for me?' The truth? It starts with you. In this honest episode, we explore the powerful idea that the common denominator in all your relationships is you—not because you're the problem, but because you are the starting point for real change. Through deep insights and relatable stories, we unpack everything from immature vs. mature love, how to spot love bombing, and when to have hard conversations, to how to protect your heart, recognize red flags, and most importantly—how to choose yourself first without losing the ability to love deeply. Because no relationship will save you from yourself—but the right one will walk with you as you grow.Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's the kind of convo you'd have with your best girlfriend: funny, a little chaotic, and surprisingly therapeutic.
