This episode of Dear Tisia is about protecting your heart without hardening it — even after betrayal, abandonment, and deep disappointment.

💌 One woman asks how to stay soft after years of being let down by the men closest to her — including family, friends, and now someone she trusted deeply.

🤰 Another caller is navigating pregnancy, abandonment, and a father who wants to parent through his girlfriend instead of directly. She’s trying to decide whether co-parenting is even worth the emotional cost.

💔 And a 22-year-old woman opens up about staying with a man who cheated — with someone nothing like her — and how race, identity, and broken promises have shattered her confidence.

✨ In Btch You Smell Good*, we highlight Givenchy Irresistible Eau de Parfum, a soft, feminine scent that feels like confidence without force.

🚩 In the Red Flag Report, we unpack the viral debate around chest-to-chest hugs with married men. Is it about respect… or control?

👇 Join the conversation in the comments. Where do you draw the line?
