Is this relationship still right for me — or am I holding on out of fear, hope, or habit?

In this episode, I walk you through one of the hardest questions we face in love: Should I stay… or leave?
It’s never a simple decision — especially when you’re still in love, especially when you’re part of a culture or family where leaving is judged, forbidden, or not financially possible.

Leaving is not something I or anyone will ever have to tell you to do. Because you know when its time. Getting to the point of walking away from someone you love that can not meet your needs, that needs patience and some gentle hand holding and no shame!

You’ll learn how to explore this question with compassion, clarity, and a grounded approach rooted in emotional truth — not guilt, pressure, or fantasy.

We’ll talk about:

  • When you should stay — and what a healthy, evolving relationship actually feels like
  • 🚨 How to know it’s time to leave — the emotional, physical, and nervous system signs that you’ve outgrown or been harmed in this relationship
  • 💡 Tony Robbins' 6 human needs — and how your relationship may (or may not) be meeting your deepest emotional drivers (certainty, variety, significance, love, growth, and contribution)
  • 🧠 What to do if you have to stay — because of culture, kids, religion, or money — and how to emotionally survive while creating inner change
  • ⚠️ What makes a relationship not right for you — not just toxic, but misaligned with who you’re becoming
  • ❤️‍🩹 And why it’s normal to feel guilt, grief, and longing — even when you know it’s time to let go

This is not an episode that tells you what to do. It’s one that helps you come home to what you already know — but might be too scared to say out loud.

You’re not broken for struggling with this. You’re human. You are never broken, your simply stepping into being unbreakable.


 And you deserve a love that feels safe, alive, and mutual.
