Is Space in a Relationship a Bad Thing?

Don't Let Your Ex Choose Your Next Partner

Have you ever met someone who felt amazing simply because they did everything your ex didn’t? Maybe they communicate better. Maybe they’re more affectionate. Maybe they’re emotionally available. Suddenly, it feels like you’ve finally found “the one.” But what if what you’re feeling isn’t compatibility… it’s relief? In this episode, I talk about how the pain from our previous relationships can quietly influence who we choose next. Sometimes the qualities we were deprived of become the only things we evaluate, causing us to overlook compatibility, values, boundaries, and the bigger picture. I explore how deprivation can cloud our judgment. IG: Fromagirlsgirl

Be a Shameless Lover Girl!

Society makes many women feel as though being a lover girl is something to be ashamed of. We're told wanting love is a distraction. That yearning for connection makes us naive. And after heartbreak, we're often encouraged to become detached, nonchalant, and emotionally unavailable in the name of self-preservation. In this episode I talk about embracing your quality of being a lover girl and not seeing it as a curse that always leads to heartbreak. If you're a lover who has been embarrassed for wanting love, judged for loving wholeheartedly or pressured to become something you're not in order to avoid getting hurt...this episode is for you, Lover Girl.

Healing Doesn't Make You Unrejectable

In this episode, I talk about how healing culture can sometimes make us feel like we need to become “better” before we deserve love. Many of us start healing after heartbreak, disappointment, or unhealthy relationships, but somewhere along the way, healing can quietly become tied to the hope of finally being chosen correctly. We begin believing that if we heal enough, love will finally stay. If we become emotionally intelligent enough, self-aware enough, feminine enough, disciplined enough, then maybe we’ll finally experience the relationship we’ve been waiting for. But what happens when healing becomes less about peace and more about preparing for a future reward? Maybe healing was never meant to make us perfect. Maybe it was meant to help us abandon ourselves less while experiencing life as human beings

Is Space in a Relationship a Bad Thing?

In today’s episode of From a Girl’s Girl, I talk about space in relationships and why hearing the words “I need space” can feel so triggering and anxiety-inducing for so many people. I explore the difference between healthy and unhealthy space, how people process conflict differently, and why understanding your conflict language is just as important as understanding your love language. This episode unpacks emotional regulation during conflict, the importance of communication and reassurance, and how space can sometimes create clarity instead of confusion. I also discuss how to respond when someone asks for space without abandoning yourself emotionally, while learning how to ground yourself instead of reacting from fear, panic, or overwhelm. Because sometimes space is not rejection... sometimes it is reflection, regulation, and an attempt to return to the relationship calmer, clearer, and more intentional.

Entitlement vs Knowing Your Worth & Having Standards

There is a thin line between knowing your worth and having standards, and a lot of us blur that line without even realising it. In this episode, I unpack the difference between standards, expectations, and entitlement, especially in the talking stage. We explore how the way we communicate our desires can completely change how they are received, and why some standards are rooted in self-worth...while others come from ego or past experiences. This episode is an invitation to reflect, not judge because sometimes, what we think is self-worth might actually be something else. IG: fromagirlsgirl
