PODCAST: The relationship became my idol, and I lost me.

As humans, we are relational people. We need human touch, connection, and to be seen (loved). These are the fundamentals of the human experience. So, it only makes sense that great relationships are pretty high on the priority list of goals in life. But what happens when your need for a healthy sustainable relationship doesn't show up in the way we like? What happens when that one person we want and love doesn't reciprocate the same affections?

Well, like many people, we oftentimes do everything in our power to maintain and hold on to that relationship, even if means losing ourselves.

That is the story of author and Chicago Native, Ms. T.N. King. In our chat, she shares how chasing after the idea of "the one" became an idol and ultimately caused her to lose herself and purpose.
