Life is too short to tolerate a toxic relationship. Trauma stays stored in the body and the brain until you become aware of it. Childhood trauma is generational and is known for being around for at least 3 generations. Some people lie too much because they used lying as a survival tool when they were a kid. When you are in a relationship with your significant other, have the mentality of “It’s us against the world”. Always cherish your partner and make them feel safe. Have a fulfilling individual life before seeking a partner.   Riana's Site: RianaMilne.com        Riana's App: http://bit.ly/RianaMilneApp   Riana's Virtual Coaching: The Life & Love Training Academy   Riana's Podcast: Lessons in Life & Love Podcast      The opening track is titled, "Heartbreaking Heartbeat" by Rukunetsu (AKA Project R).
