Hey, welcome back to the Brown Girl Self-Care Podcast.

In case you are new here, my name is Bree, and I host this show.

If you've been rolling with me for a minute, welcome back.

I'm so glad that you're here.

You know, a few days ago was Valentine's Day.

And as of this recording, it was maybe like two or three days ago.

And, you know, I know that Valentine's Day is usually

centered on keep hope alive, people getting engaged, people being in love, loving relationships,

keeping that spark going, pushing through, like all these things, right? But, you know, today I wanted to talk about the grace found

in letting, letting love kind of, letting love, I don't want to say die, but letting love go,

releasing love if it's no longer, like if you're no longer being served, like that saying,

well, excuse me, that saying goes if you're no longer being served, it's okay

for you to get up from the table. I feel like that's not something that we talk about a lot,

or enough, I should say. I see so many examples of struggle love out in real life. And this is not

to judge. You know, I have been in a relationship pretty much all my

relationships have been like struggle of okay but i wish that i could have had this type of

conversation with with someone like the the younger version of me you know but it's never too late

it's never too late so you's never too late. So, you know,

I was reminded of something, and this is kind of like what sparked this episode, but I was

reminded of a truth in one of the most unlikeliest of places, a super unlikely resource,

and that is Mr. Rogers.

Yes, girl, I said Mr. Rogers.
