Life in the Middle with Sharona Patrice
Episode 32: Poor Choice Relationships
Have you ever wondered why as strong, capable women, we sometimes find ourselves entangled in relationships that don't serve us?
In this episode, I share some real and relatable stories about poor relationship choices I've made in the past. I'm unpacking the reasons behind these decisions; exploring how loneliness, insecurity, emotional voids, and other pressures can ultimately put us in a space to compromise what's best for us romantically. This is a candid conversation that I hope will challenge you to reflect on your relationship patterns and empower you to move away from making unhealthy relationship choices.
