The Grown & Liberated Love Club™

The women in a man's life... His mother, sisters, daughters, ex-wives, and baby mamas, etc... can tell you everything you need to know about the man you're dating. Whether they like you or not, they're always communicating valuable information through their words and behaviors.

In this episode, Candice shares personal stories about what she learned from the women around her exes, discusses research on family-of-origin attachment patterns, and breaks down green flags appreciate. Plus, a deep dive into Toni Braxton's "He Wasn't Man Enough For Me" and why listening to women about your man matters.
