So in today's episode, I'm going to talk about when I think people should stay in the relationship that is struggling and try to work it out.

As many of you might know that I have a lot of content about, you know, the bravery that it takes

to walk away from a relationship that's not working.

Last week's episode, I talked about how important it is to let go of the wrong person

than the path of isolation. You know, a lot of people come to me and say, you know, I've been

And then I get into a relationship and all my stuff comes up and all of a sudden

I'm brutally reminded of the fact that I am not as healed and I thought I was.

And that's because that's what will happen.

You know, we are going to be confronted with a lot of old belief systems about what the right,

who the right person is versus who the right person isn't, the one soulmate.
