In today’s powerful episode of Evolve Ventures, we pull back the curtain on addictive relationships, why they happen, what keeps us stuck, and how to finally break free. With stories, neuroscience, and simple strategies, we break down how love can become an emotional trap and why the brain keeps chasing the high even when it hurts. If you’ve ever felt trapped in a relationship that drains you, this episode will give you the insight and tools to start healing and reclaim your peace.
