Why Do We Stay?
from Perfectly Imperfect · host Marleny
Why do we stay in relationships that hurt us? In this episode, we’re talking about toxic relationships, the things that keep us holding on, and the courage it takes to choose ourselves. Healing takes time, so give yourself grace. Take things one step at a time, and remember that you don’t have to have it all figured out to move forward. You are loved, you are worthy, and you deserve a love that brings you peace, not pain. No matter where you are in your journey, be gentle with yourself. You deserve love, too.
