your self respect must be stronger than your emotions

stop waiting for them to come back.

Don’t wait for them. Don’t. I know it’s difficult to hear, but you’re waiting for someone who clearly isn’t choosing you. I get it, it may have felt deep, different, like a connection you never felt before. But the truth is simple, if they wanted to be here, they would. In this episode, I talk about how to sit with the reality, being honest with yourself, asking yourself why you would wait for someone who could let you go so easily? Because at some point, you have to realize they are making a conscious decision to not be a part of your life. So ask yourself, is this really the kind of connection you want to keep making space for? Is this truly the love you deserve?                          Disclaimer: The views expressed in this content do not, and do not intend to constitute legal advice, all information or advice provided is provided for informational and entertainment purposes.

you're healing...but you still miss them.

Missing them doesn’t mean you’re not healing. In fact, missing someone is a normal part of the healing process when you genuinely cared about them. But those feelings don’t mean you’re going backwards. They simply mean that something mattered to you in that moment. In this episode, Kristen talks about understanding the difference between missing someone, grieving potential, feeling emotions without allowing them to consume you, and learning to miss someone without letting their absence consume you from moving forward. Because the truth is, healing is learning to carry emotions without letting them carry you.                        Disclaimer: The views expressed in this content do not, and do not intend to constitute legal advice, all information or advice provided is provided for informational and entertainment purposes.

do you meet people for a reason?

Many of us have heard of the red string theory, meaning the people we’re meant to meet are tied to us, and no matter the distance or detours, we find our way to one another. Is this true? Are we meant to meet certain people in our lifetimes? Whether it’s platonic or romantic relationships, the intense, quick-ending relationships, or the long-lasting connections, Kristen expresses her perspective on how the people you meet are important for your growth as a person, and deciding if the people you meet are for a reason.                                  Disclaimer: The views expressed in this content do not, and do not intend to constitute legal advice, all information or advice provided is provided for informational and entertainment purposes.

the love you gave was never wasted

Never regret the amount of love you gave to others. Maybe you’re reflecting on a connection, regretting the amount of times you put effort into them, showed up when you probably shouldn’t have, and gave love to someone who didn’t deserve it. But the thing is, you truly felt something in that moment, you cared, you were genuine. And maybe that’s the closure, that you genuinely cared. In this episode, Kristen comforts you with the peace in knowing that the love you give defines you, not them. The way others handled your heart says more about them than you. And the truth is, the love you gave wasn’t wasted, it will return to you.                      Disclaimer: The views expressed in this content do not, and do not intend to constitute legal advice, all information or advice provided is provided for informational and entertainment purposes.

when the anxious attachment becomes avoidant.

Sometimes the pain of constantly chasing, waiting, and seeking love triggers a protective mechanism that leads an anxious attachment into an avoidant state. Whether it’s always being the one waiting for that reply, making excuses, giving until there’s nothing left, maybe the anxious finally gave up and became protective of their heart. Because at one point, the person who craved closeness is now afraid of it. In this episode, Kristen expresses the shift that sometimes occurs in an anxious attachment into the avoidant, learning to heal, and navigating relationships in a healthy way.                        Disclaimer: The views expressed in this content do not, and do not intend to constitute legal advice, all information or advice provided is provided for informational and entertainment purposes.
