Chapter 10: Miami and the love that wasn’t love

this episode of Soft Strength with Stephanie Juste, I share a chapter from my story Between Worlds about moving to Miami, searching for love, and losing myself in the process.What began as hope and emotional connection slowly became emotional exhaustion, loneliness, and self-destruction. This episode reflects on toxic relationships, survival patterns, emotional pain, and the difference between being chosen and being truly cared for.I also speak honestly about mental health, alcohol, hopelessness, and the quiet part of me that still wanted to survive.This episode includes reflection, affirmations, grounding, and prayer.
