Being Chosen is Not the Same as Being Seen

from Prayers and Cusswords · host Ashley Jaye

A simple question on Threads sent me spiraling back to May 2015—the day I graduated with my master's degree, less than a month after giving birth, while working full-time and building a future for myself. It was supposed to be one of the proudest moments of my life.Instead, it became the day I got engaged.For years, I thought the lesson was that I dodged a marriage. But looking back, that's not the lesson at all.The lesson is that my body knew before my mind was ready to admit it.In this episode of Prayers & Cusswords Podcast, I revisit my engagement story and proposal story to unpack the powerful connection between intuition and relationships. I share how women's intuition often speaks long before we are ready to listen, why trusting your intuition matters, and how relationship red flags can hide behind moments that look perfect on the surface.This episode is a deeply personal reflection on self-worth and relationships, emotional intelligence, and the life lessons from relationships that shape who we become. If you've ever struggled with listening to your inner voice, overcoming self-abandonment, or choosing what looked good instead of what felt right, you'll find yourself in this conversation.Together, we'll explore what it means to stop seeking validation from others and start choosing yourself. This personal growth journey touches on healing after heartbreak, authenticity and self-love, personal development, and the courage it takes to honor your truth even when everyone around you is applauding.Because sometimes the biggest red flags don't show up as danger.Sometimes they show up as celebration.If you're looking for relationship advice, empowerment for women, or a self-discovery podcast that blends vulnerability, healing, and real-life wisdom, this episode is for you.Welcome to Prayers & Cusswords Podcast, where softness and survival coexist.#TrustYourIntuition #IntuitionAndRelationships #RelationshipRedFlags #SelfWorthAndRelationships #ChooseYourself #PersonalGrowthJourney #HealingAfterHeartbreak #WomenEmpowerment #SelfDiscoveryPodcast #PrayersAndCusswordsPodcast
