In this episode I dive head first into my most toxic relationship to date. After breaking up almost 5 years ago and having no contact since, my ex-boyfriend Adam joins me to discuss our unconventional relationship, live on mic and for the first time. In part one of this chat we address how we came to be here today, the journey from hatred to all-consuming adolescent love and the hurdles we faced along the way and trust me, there were plenty! Raw, relatable and packed with all the drama your heart desires.

Setting boundaries within your personal relationships is the most important thing you can do for your self-worth and protecting your energy. By setting healthy boundaries you are saying that you value yourself enough not to be made to feel uncomfortable. If you don’t set boundaries you are simply allowing others to have control over you. So let's start today and remember, self-love isn’t selfish. Plus I have some exciting news to share and of course a rant about none other than a man that slid into my DMs.

In other news I found myself in a bit of a sticky situation on the weekend which did wonders for my ego (not that it needed it).
