## Resource

Valentine's Day was just a few days ago, but today we’re talking about the side of love we rarely discuss: the grace of letting go. Inspired by a surprising lesson from Mr. Rogers, this episode explores why we often keep pouring our "salt"—our energy, labor, and essence—into relationships that are no longer viable. Let's talk about the "Fixer" trap, the difference between a rough patch and a dead one, and how to reclaim your sweetness by choosing to stop performing CPR on a "dead fish". Ways to support me and the podcast: Buy me a coffee or even a book. Cashapp and Venmo are @browngirlselfcare (thank you!!) Leave a message on Spotify or rating and review on iTunes (thank you!!)
