For Black Women Love Isn't Enough - When to Stop Fixing a Dead Relationship
About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of recognizing when to let go of unviable relationships and the emotional toll of trying to fix them.
Valentine's Day was just a few days ago, but today we’re talking about the side of love we rarely discuss: the grace of letting go. Inspired by a surprising lesson from Mr. Rogers, this episode explores why we often keep pouring our "salt"—our energy, labor, and essence—into relationships that are no longer viable. Let's talk about the "Fixer" trap, the difference between a rough patch and a dead one, and how to reclaim your sweetness by choosing to stop performing CPR on a "dead fish".
