Summary
Self-respect isn't a feeling. It's a contract you make with yourself, and most people break it the second it gets uncomfortable. In Part 2, Niyi breaks down the two biggest mistakes that keep people stuck: making excuses for situations they know are wrong, and wasting years deliberating instead of moving. He gets into why self-respect in relationships isn't about leaving, it's about being willing to leave, and why some relationships simply don't survive once you stop tolerating disrespect. Real talk on the price you pay for confidence, a Frederick Douglass story that'll stick with you, and a wrestler making weight on his brother's birthday that perfectly captures what self-respect actually costs in the moment.
