| 0:00.0 | I ama. I've been very open about the fact that I was not always good and making my |
| 0:08.4 | relationships work. I have been divorced three times twice from the same person. In other words, I have seen a lot and failed a lot in my relationships. |
| 0:19.4 | So I am here to share with you what I learned along the way because I did take |
| 0:25.5 | copious notes. Welcome to the R spot, a production of Shandaland audio in |
| 0:30.7 | partnership with I-Heart Radio. People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. This means that some relationships have been formed for a specific reason. |
| 0:58.4 | Perhaps you need to learn something or heal through something or grow through something as a result of the relationship itself. |
| 1:07.0 | So today, I want to talk about relationships that come to an end, whether it's an abrupt end or a slow death process. |

| 2:45.0 | Tell me about that. Tell me about the signs. What were that? |
| 2:50.0 | Well, you know, with some initial deception in the relationship you know I would say |
| 2:55.8 | that our foundation you know and how we started wasn't the greatest and I think we built on a shaky |
| 3:07.2 | foundation. So if you were connected and you had things in common talk to me about what was in the foundation or what was not in the foundation. |
| 3:19.0 | So like I said, it was, the love was there, the connection was there, but you know, there was some serious |
