Summary
Girl, let’s keep it all the way real! In this episode of Girl, Stop Playin, I’m breaking down the relationship red flags we love to overlook — from love bombing, gaslighting, and emotional unavailability, to the subtle signs we sometimes romanticize in toxic relationships. Whether you’re dating with intention, navigating a situationship, or healing from a toxic ex, this episode will help you stop second-guessing your intuition and start calling it what it is: your God instinct.
I’m sharing personal stories, lessons learned the hard way, and some truth bombs to help you protect your peace and choose YOU. So if you’re tired of the same relationship cycle or you just need a reminder of what healthy love really looks like, press play, take notes, and pass this episode along to a sis who needs it.

| 0:00.0 | Sis, let's talk about it. After that last podcast episode, stop letting these men manipulate you. |
| 0:08.9 | I got so much feedback, so many messages, that episode got so many downloads that I wanted to |
| 0:17.4 | record two more episodes in a similar vein. I think when we talk about hindsight being |
| 0:26.0 | 2020, the fact that the signs are always there in these abusive or toxic relationships, |
| 0:35.2 | I think we also have to spend a little bit of time talking about what those |
| 0:39.6 | signs could be. And so I told y'all that a part of the last conversation was inspired by |
| 0:46.8 | a thread post where I said, stop marrying these men who don't like you. The signs were there |
| 0:53.9 | all along. And I got a lot of feedback, |
| 0:57.0 | a lot of commentary on that thread from women who say, yes, I can absolutely agree. You know, |
| 1:03.8 | I was in a toxic relationship and I definitely saw the signs but didn't take heed, didn't take |

| 1:30.2 | waving, okay, they were practically screaming at you, but you still stayed, prayed, and hoped |
| 1:36.1 | that he would change. I have definitely been there, done that. It has brought on tremendous |
| 1:42.5 | life lessons, emotional baggage, PTSD, all of the things. |
| 1:48.0 | And so in this episode of Girls Stop Playing, I'm calling it out. |
| 1:52.0 | Okay. |
| 1:52.5 | I got a laundry list full of relationship red flags that we often overlook, excuse, and sometimes |
| 2:00.5 | even romanticize from gaslighting |
