An affirmation: I am deserving of a relationship that honors the person I am right now; I am capable of differentiating between a healthy love and a struggle romance.

In this episode we discuss the concept of, "Struggle Love." Struggle Love is the idea that a person has to endure pain, struggle and turmoil for the love to be real, worthy and deserving. We chat about the way the struggle love narrative has been packaged and sold to women of color to be acceptable and normalized, and offer a few questions you can ask yourself win efforts to identify you are dealing with a struggle love situation.
