don't be a flower caught in a spiderweb
7Sometimes the people holding you up are actually the ones holding you back.
In this video, I share a personal metaphor — the flower and the spiderweb — to talk about toxic and abusive relationships, and how they can trap us in ways we don’t always see. From subtle manipulation to emotional confusion, it’s easy to sweep red flags under the rug, especially if you’re an empathetic or creative person who gives too much of yourself.
This is a wake-up call to protect your emotional well-being, recognize unhealthy dynamics, and stop mistaking “support” for control.
If this message resonates, drop a comment or share your own story. Let’s create a space where empathy doesn’t have to mean being exploited.
