5 Things I Learned From A Year of Singleness

<p>One year ago, I walked away from an extremely toxic, four-year-long relationship and it was one of the hardest and best decisions I have ever made. While walking away from a long-term relationship that I had poured so much time and energy into was difficult the second it was over I felt so free, like this weight had been lifted off of me and my anxiety just vanished.</p> <p>In this episode I discuss:</p> <ul> <li>Learning to love myself and realizing that I deserved more</li> <li>My self-improvement and self-love journey over the last year and becoming more independent</li> <li>Raising my standards and knowing what I want in life</li> </ul> <p>I have grown so much over the last year and as I look back on my relationship, I wonder how I could have ever put up with such awful treatment, but we accept the love we think we deserve. I hope you know that you deserve to feel loved, respected and safe in your relationships and there is someone out there for you that will trat you right.</p> <p>If you find yourself in an abusive relationship and are in need of assistance, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233</p>
