Summary
TW: This episode my be triggering to those with sensitivities around physical and emotional abuse. I’m joined by Ryan Spencer, who I met on the Tamron Hall Show, for a powerful conversation about healing, heartbreak, and holding out hope for love. Ryan opens up about leaving an abusive relationship, the strength it took to start over, and the frustration of wanting love so badly after doing the work—therapy, growth, reflection—and still not finding it. She shares how her family became her village, the lessons she’s learned in therapy, and how she’s finally enjoying dating again without the pressure to find "the one."
