Show notes

Hey lady! When it comes to your love life is it giving Love Jones or is it more like Never Been Kissed? Either way, hopefully by now you’ve found a way to laugh at yourself a little as you navigate through it.

Sadia offers sage wisdom on why shifting your perspective can be a guiding light, and why being honest about your motivations for some of your romantic decisions can be a healing salve on your journey. If your love life doesn’t quite look like you may have imagined, tune into the episode for inspiration on how to keep yourself uplifted as you write the greatest love story of all – your own!
