In this solo episode, we explore how relationships impact our health, contrasting toxic connections with nurturing ones. We discuss "strong Black woman syndrome," excessive emotional labor expected from women, and the importance of recognizing red flags and building supportive communities.
Key Takeaways
- Self-care includes cultivating healthy relationships
- Toxic relationships drain energy and affect physical health
- Balance healthy interdependence with independence
- Recognize hyper-independence as a potential trauma response
