Episode Notes:

7 Hard Truths That We Have Had To UNLearn:

  1. All you need is love to make a relationship work. You can love someone but know that relationship is not in the best interest for either of you. And therefore, you can love them from afar. 
  2. The right person will come along when you are ready. 
  3. If I communicate clearly, people will always understand me. Even if you communicate clearly and from a place in the heart, you still not be understood by the person or people listening. 
  4. More self-care will fix your problems.
  5. Blood is thicker than water. Family is everything. 
  6. If someone isn’t into you the way you are into them, they will change if you work hard enough.
  7. If we change jobs, move to a better place, have a baby, buy a house, therelationship will be better and fixed.
