In this episode, we tackle questions & comments from other interracial couples. Having a relationship is already tricky within itself, but when you step into the interracial arena, it gets a bit more involved. Although we live in a society that's a bit more progressive, there are still areas as well as people who continue to disapprove of interracial love. They often offer comments, micro-aggressions, and questions that show their disapproval.

Yes! You absolutely can get PTSD from a toxic parent. We have suffered from the hands of our toxic parents and those scars linger on even unto today. Just because you are the parent, doesn't make you a good parent. You have to actually do the job. Remember hurt people hurt other people, so we have to be careful not to pass down hurt to our kids. Check out this tough episode!

Do you feel that people hate on you when they give you a bit of direction or corrective criticism? Does everyone fall into the hating category or is there some truth to the given advice? Everyone indeed is not a hater. Some people, even strangers truly just want to see you do better or just simply see you win. Discern whose in your corner and do not take stock in those that are not.
