In this episode of Dear Tisia, we’re unpacking what it really takes to move on — especially when the connection doesn’t fully go away.
💔 One woman is trying to stay friends with her ex of six years — but she’s still deeply connected to his family. From being a godmother to maintaining close relationships with his mom and sister, she’s asking: can you truly move on while still holding onto those ties?
🏡 Another caller is dealing with a breakup… but there’s one problem. He lives right next door. How do you emotionally detach when you can’t create physical distance — and when the relationship ended with unresolved feelings?
📱 And one woman is questioning whether she’s actually dating someone — or just entertaining inconsistent communication. When effort doesn’t match interest, how long do you wait before walking away?
🚩 In the Red Flag Report, we unpack the conversation sparked by Yung Miami’s dating standards — and ask the bigger question:
When someone sets high standards and it triggers people… is the problem the standard — or the reaction to it?
👇 Let’s talk about it.
