Summary

This episode is a short one, but don't let that fool you. This is the kind of tough love conversation I wish someone had with me way earlier in my journey, and honestly? It's one I keep coming back to myself. Whether you're dating, healing, in a relationship, or somewhere in between, these five hard truths are going to meet you exactly where you are, and maybe shake you up a little. That's kind of the point. Buckle up.

Inside the Episode:

The most important decision of your life isn't your career, it's who you marry.
You cannot fix your partner and trying to is costing you.
The sooner you release your past, the sooner you stop making fear-based decisions in love.
