66: Why Situationships Are So Hard to Leave
About this episode
Minaa B. discusses the challenges of leaving situationships and offers compassionate strategies for moving forward.
In this episode, Minaa B. explores the situationship you know you're in—not the confusing kind, but the one where you're fully aware it's not going anywhere, and you're stuck anyway. With warmth and zero judgment, she breaks down why you stay even when you know better: the need for connection over loneliness, the fear of conflict and rupture, scarcity thinking around relationships, and the real emotional safety some situationships provide. Minaa offers compassionate strategies for moving forward when you're ready—not shame tactics, but real understanding of what's keeping you there. If you're in a situationship and can't seem to leave, this episode is for you. Work with me: Book a 1:1 therapy consultation.
