Anna Kai: Escaping Toxic Relationships, Dating Red Flags and How to Attract a Healed Man

Can you build a creative life without chaos?

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, I’m chatting with Anna Kai, an incredibly talented writer and storyteller about her journey from being a theater kid with big dreams to navigating an unstable career in acting, gig work, and eventually finding a balance between creativity and financial security. Anna shares her struggles with relationships, unlearning toxic dating patterns, and how she stopped trying to "fix" people to find real love.

We also talk about the challenges of making couple friends in adulthood, why family input on your relationship should have limits, and the emotional shifts that come with settling into a new phase of life.

This is a raw, honest conversation about self-discovery, independence, and embracing change.
