At some point, you have to sit down with yourself and ask… why am I accepting this?In this episode, I’m talking about raising your standards, why we ignore red flags (even when they’re literally screaming at us), and how I’ve learned to choose myself every single time — even when it’s hard.From confusing situationships to moments that felt way too real for what they were… yeah, we’re unpacking all of it.This is for the girls who know they deserve more… but are still learning how to actually act like it.XOXO,Chicago Barbie 💋

“I love you, Richard. But I love me more.”In this episode, we’re talking about loving someone deeply without abandoning yourself. Why do we shrink, overextend, and overgive in relationships? And what does it actually look like to choose yourself — without guilt?Inspired by Samantha Jones’ iconic line, this episode is about confidence, boundaries, and remembering that self-love isn’t selfish. It’s necessary.If you’ve ever loved someone but felt yourself disappearing… this one is for you.
