In today’s episode, I'm talking about how relationships—specifically romantic and intimate relationships—have a profound impact on your health and longevity. Drawing from my own personal experiences, I share how an emotionally abusive relationship negatively affected my mental, emotional, and physical health, and how breaking free from it led to significant healing and better health. As someone who specializes in root causes, I discuss how relationships are often overlooked as key factors affecting our health. But here’s the truth: the people you surround yourself with, particularly your intimate partner, can either help you thrive or keep you stuck in unhealthy cycles that affect your mind, body, and spirit. I also share the intimate details of my journey—from losing myself in toxic relationships, disconnecting from who I truly was, to finally finding love, alignment, and optimal Higher health with my soulmate. We’ll talk about the importance of recognizing the red flags, stepping into your own power, and understanding that YOU are the one who has the answers to your own healing and health.
