Should you or should you not continue showering love on a family member who doesn’t reciprocate it? We admit it; it’s tough… Spare some time for a hearty listen to this episode of Womanly Shit as Aprille and her co-host pal Vasavi disentangle the knotty path of loving someone who, as it appears, disregards or rejects it. The duo discuss the need to be yourself, opt for people who bring you love and joy, love without expectations, and make your decisions from a healthy place!
