What happens when the spaces meant to empower us become breeding grounds for emotional harm, masked as connection? In this episode, Dr. Jaye unpacks the hidden patterns that form when past wounds go unaddressed in collective spaces—and how these patterns shape the way we show up, speak up, and support one another.
This isn’t a conversation about perfection. It’s about emotional honesty. About calling out the behaviors we’ve normalized in the name of “community.” About learning to protect your peace without becoming hardened.
You’ll walk away with real strategies to recognize toxic dynamics, reclaim your agency, and choose connection rooted in truth—not performance. If you’ve ever questioned why certain spaces drain you instead of build you—this episode is your invitation to name it, face it, and do something about it.
