#77 - His Mom Humiliated Me… And He Joined In

This week, we’re talking about relationship boundaries, mama’s boys, emotional regulation, and the ways unhealthy family dynamics can quietly destroy relationships. What starts with a humiliating birthday dinner turns into a bigger conversation about self-awareness, therapy, emotional burnout, food addiction, social media overload, investing anxiety, and trying to regain control of your life when everything feels mentally exhausting.We also get into dating people who want projects instead of partners, whether men can handle successful women, and why so many adults are struggling to regulate their emotions while pretending everything is fine.If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by adulthood, relationship stress, burnout, emotional eating, financial pressure, or just trying to figure yourself out without losing your mind, this episode will probably hit a little too close to home.New episodes every Wednesday.A Girls Perspective | AGP | Hot Takes | Friends Yapping | Black Girl Podcast | Friendship Problems Podcast | Adulting Podcast | Personal Growth Podcast | Finding Your People | Build A CommunityTwo lives.
