Are you struggling to decide whether to stay in or leave a relationship that feels emotionally draining? You’re not alone. Sometimes, love isn’t enough—and staying too long can mean abandoning yourself.

In this episode, Thais Gibson shares the top five reasons it may be time to walk away from a relationship—especially when growth, safety, or shared values are missing. Drawing from years of experience in private practice, she offers compassionate insights that help you get clear on when it’s time to stop hoping—and start healing.
