Self-Love, Boundaries, and Breaking Toxic Relationship Patterns

In this powerful conversation, therapist and host Malisa Hepner, sits down with relationship coach and founder of Building with Bry (Thriving Solo + Intentional Connections) Brylye Collins, , to explore the transformative power of self-love and how it shapes the relationships we choose and the boundaries we set. Together they discuss recognizing unhealthy relationship patterns, the emotional challenges many stay-at-home moms face, and the importance of vulnerability, community, and emotional awareness in personal growth. Brylye shares her journey from toxic relationships to empowerment, offering insight into how understanding your patterns can lead to healthier connections and deeper self-trust.

Start noticing your relationship patterns with curiosity rather than judgment. Ask yourself: "What feeling or belief about myself keeps showing up in my relationships?" Awareness of these patterns is the first step toward setting healthier boundaries, choosing supportive connections, and building a relationship with yourself rooted in self-respect.
