In this episode, I’m diving deep into one of the most important conversations we can have - how to avoid getting caught in toxic relationship patterns before they even begin. I’m sharing practical tools and insights to help you recognise early red flags, set strong boundaries, and trust your intuition when something feels off. If you’ve ever found yourself repeating unhealthy relationship cycles, this episode is your roadmap to breaking free.
I also talk about the deeper inner work that sets the foundation for healthy love - like understanding your core values, building self-trust, and surrounding yourself with people who model respect and care. Whether you’re dating, healing, or simply learning to love yourself better, this one’s packed with the clarity and encouragement you need to move forward with confidence.
