Relationships today feel like navigating a minefield. Open your phone, and it’s hot takes everywhere—love bombing, gaslighting, narcissists… It’s like everyone has an opinion. Even something as simple as texting back has become a mental game: “Should I wait 2 minutes? Will I seem needy?”

In this video, I’m cutting through the noise with 10 brutally honest pieces of relationship advice that no one ever told you. We're talking about real, no-fluff insights like:

• Stop looking for the right person—start becoming the right person.
• The myth of 'the one' is ruining your love life.
• Your ex doesn’t exist (seriously, delete them).

• The internet is keeping you single (watch whose rules you’re following). Relationships aren’t 50/50—they’re 100/100.

Plus, we’ll dive into why love addiction is a real thing, how 'therapy-speak' might be sabotaging your relationships, and why outside opinions can mess with your connection more than you think.

If you’re ready for some straight-up, no-nonsense advice that’ll actually help you build better relationships, this one’s for you.
