Ep 20. For Women Who Love Too Much Mar 07, 2019

Show notes

In episode 20, we ask ourselves and our listeners: Are you a woman who loves too much? Recently inspired by a group discussion amongst friends as well as reflecting on her own past choices, Antoinette digs up an old book that details the symptoms of co-dependency and why we stay in toxic relationships. This is an incredibly important subject in a world full of F*@c boys, un-checked male privilege, and our never-ending hunger for validation. Is it really them to blame or is it us?
