Hey fam! In the last part of my Relationship series, I’m diving into something so many of us struggle with—how to stay true to YOU in a relationship. I’m sharing my personal journey with codependency, what it looked like when I completely lost myself, and how I’ve grown through it. I'm talking about healthy boundaries, red flags, emotional independence, and how to stay anchored in your identity (spoiler: it should never be dependent on someone else!). I also give y’all book recs, tips on maintaining your own life while dating, and real talk about what it means to date with intention. I pray this episode blesses you and gives you the confidence to stay grounded in who God made you to be.
