Joy + Eddy take an interesting approach to explaining what prohibits a person from being accountable. Eddy explains how shame and being too trusting can lead to dead ends. Joy expresses how pride has been the very thing that has held her back for full accountability.

EnJoy the Moment. EnJoy the Day!

Who are the five to eight people you hang out with the most?
How would you describe them?
What do they say about you?
How does the way you end a relationship affect you and the people you severe ties with?

Episode Six explores these questions and tries to figure out what your relationships do to you, and what do you do to your relationships.

When life gives you the gift of a relationship are you mature enough to handle with care? Or do you mishandle the love and cause it to be damaged beyond repair? What if you feel you are too damaged to deserve love? As with these show notes this episodes poses more questions than offers answers. Hopefully, it's still Soul Food for Thought.
