In this episode my guest, Violet Benson and I are discussing so many interesting topics.

Talking Points: 

• How life transforms when you turn thirty; is it for good or bad?
• What does an ideal relationship look like; does it has its ups and downs
• Why is it hard to break away from manipulative partners?
• How can we tell that a person is toxic if we’ve just started dating them; what are the red flags?
• What do you think about self-love; is it harmful to a relationship?
• How can we stop our partners from treating us like sh*t and start taking us seriously?
• How can we stop ourselves from chasing people who don’t actually love us?
