IOLSB Toxic Love

A guest and I have a conversation about why people find "love" in the wrong places and what people can do to find the love we all want. We touch on a few things - role models, boundaries, self-worth, and childhood traumas. Trigger warning: Domestic violence.

IOLSB Introduction

Hey everybody, Welcome to It's Only Life; So Breathe where you get to join me as I navigate through life and all of the paths that cross mine. We'll explore the good, the bad and everything in between - relationships, parenting, mental health, addictions, work - nothing is off the table. Like Tupac said, "If you can make it through the night, there's a brighter day". This is your weekly reminder that no matter what you're going through, it's only life; so breathe.
