Have you ever found yourself in a relationship trying to quiet the subtle nudge that something just isn’t quite right? Or, when red flags kept finding their way in front of you, you were just so smitten you chose to let them slide? After Stephanie’s late boyfriend passed, she found herself trying to pick up the pieces of what she thought her relationship was and the actual reality of it.  From the view of the other side, she wrote the fourth song on her album, Charmed, a light-hearted recount of the beginning and end of their relationship and an anthem of solidarity for anyone who has found themselves in a similar situation.  On today’s episode, she will share some of the red flags she missed and a few key realizations that have brought her to a place of not only trusting others again but herself. Tune in to hear: The Christmas gift that became the metaphor for her relationship Why trustworthy people are a necessity to your inner circle Why your gut is your biggest advocate How your story isn’t defined by your past   In reality, her story is not uncommon, because any time our hearts get involved, acting on what we innately know becomes that much harder. But, what if what we think will break us actually might build us?   Quotes from the episode:  "If your gut is signaling to you early on, listen to it before you don't trust it anymore." "Borrow courage in the fact of knowing you have the ability to change your future no matter what has happened in your past."   Listen to the full album On The Edge and track 4 Charmed here:  https://streamlink.to/OnTheEdgeAlbum   Thank you to our sponsors, SPLENDOR WATER.
