Understanding the Four Types of Intimacy and How They Impact Your Health
It’s February, and around here that means celebrating Black History Month, Aquarius season, and (at least in this episode) very reluctantly love.
If you’ve been listening to Balanced Black Girl for a while, you know I loathe talking about modern dating and the way relationships are discussed online right now. However, we can’t talk about living a healthy lifestyle without talking about building and maintaining healthy relationships.
Join me in this safe container, free from discussions about who’s fixing whose plate, to explore the connections between relationships and our well-being.
