Summary

This episode is short, powerful, and honestly one you’ll want to save and come back to. I’m sharing three of my most viral relationship truths,  the kind of reminders that land deep and change the way you show up in love.

If you’ve ever found yourself forgiving everyone except yourself, staying too long in relationships that can’t grow, or wondering why you keep attracting the same kind of partner… this one’s for you.

Inside the Episode:

  • Forgive yourself. You did the best you could with the self-worth you had at the time.
  • Stop watering plastic plants. Stop pouring your energy into relationships that can’t grow.
  • Heal it at the root. Until you do, you’ll keep repeating the same painful patterns.

If you’re ready to stop settling and start attracting emotionally available love, the kind that feels safe, steady, and real.  It's time to do the work inside the Empowered.Secure.Loved. Program.
