In this episode, I share my powerful journey of overcoming dysfunctional family dynamics, battling suppressed emotions, an eating disorder, and depression. Through personal growth and self-love, I created Co Rising to help others connect authentically and explore meaningful relationships.

We explore practical strategies such as journaling, seeking feedback, and practicing self-compassion. Key topics include the dynamics of building healthy relationships, internal versus external focus for personal growth, social media's role in relationship dynamics, and the power of mutual appreciation and ongoing effort.
