info_outlineYou are not meant to suffer your way into love. In this episode, Keshia Rice breaks down one of the biggest relationship traps women fall into—forming friendships and romances rooted in shared pain instead of shared purpose. If you’re tired of bonding over brokenness and calling it connection, this episode is the reset you didn’t know you needed.
In This Episode:
- Why "trauma bonding" isn’t always what you think—but still dangerous
- How we unconsciously build relationships off struggle and chaos
- The toxic comfort of vent culture (and what it’s costing you)
- Why elevated conversations = elevated relationships
- How your friend circle might be holding you back (even if they love you)
- What it means to attract partners who reflect your past instead of your growth
You’ll Walk Away With:
- A new lens for evaluating your friendships, dates, and DMs
- Questions to ask about your last 5 conversations
- Permission to release connections that are built on pain, gossip, or constant venting
- A blueprint to create relationships that are grounded in peace—not pain
You’re allowed to let go of the chaos. You're allowed to create peace. And yes—you’re allowed to have a love that feels safe from the very beginning.
Send this to a friend who’s done struggling and ready for sacred, soft connection.
