This episode is featuring my girl Shania, one of my closest friends who I met in the Bay Area and is now living here in LA. She moved here about 5 years ago, and I followed about 4 years later. She's independent, career-focused, and funny as hell. This is the funniest episode I've recorded so far. I wanted to get her thoughts about the dating scene in not only LA but the other major cities she's lived in. We also get into some real discussions about not settling, what it means when you know exactly what you're looking for in a relationship, and how she's grown into wanting a real connection with someone. I hope ya'll will enjoy this episode as much as I do.  Follow her on Instagram: @shania_grace

I'm baaack bitches! I know I've been MIA for a minute, but I needed to refocus and readjust my attention to this podcast. Today we're talking about why I took a break, training your mind, and keeping a grateful attitude (AKA gratitude) through it all.

We're talking about the ups and downs in her previous long-term relationship, how she was she was able to find her self-worth after making the hard decision to leave, and why normalizing toxic relationships should be CANCELED. Her story is inspirational and very relatable! Check out her amazing YouTube channel: ChelsaaySayWhaa

I never thought I would be where I am today after being in a toxic and mentally abusive relationship. But I learned to look at that relationship as a lesson, and I want to share my story with you. If you find yourself in an abusive relationship, know there is help. Visit https://www.thehotline.org/ or reach out to a family or friend, or even me! You're not alone in this.
