How do we flip the script so our self love and health comes first?  Aishia talks about her journey into becoming a wellness consultant and psychotherapist.  How can we better accept being single?  Check out Aishia’s community, along with how to work with Sherry and Carla on overcoming codependency, dating, break-ups, healing from toxic relationships, and gaining confidence. It’s great to have a relationship and be in love, but it’s equally as great loving the single life and deciding however you want your life to look as your reality.  What to say when people accuse you of being “selfish” for not wanting a marriage or children?  We must embrace our codependence and not run away from it, to be able to fully work on it.  How Aishia works with her clients to help them look inside themselves for care and comfort rather than externally.  What does it mean to “take custody of your inner child?”  Aishia talks about her feeling of having her anger invalidated, and how she gave herself permission to be okay with whatever emotions came up.  How somebody can take steps forward so that they are able to ask for their needs, but also express their love and be in a healthy relationship moving forward.    Disclaimer: The Love Fix Podcast content has been made available for informational, entertainment, and educational purposes only.
