Everyone talks about toxic breakups — but what about the ones that seem healthy? In this episode, I’m opening up about a relationship that didn’t end in cheating or chaos… but in denial, ego battles, and emotional confusion. From gaslighting wrapped in gifts to trying to shrink myself for a version of love I didn’t want to settle for, I share the raw truth about knowing when it’s time to walk away — even when nothing’s technically “wrong.”

We dive into why so many of us get stuck in potential, how ego sabotages even the kindest endings, and why it’s okay to admit a relationship isn’t aligned. Whether you’ve been ghosted, gaslit, or just scared to disappoint someone you love — this one’s for you.
