We featured a conversation with relationship and trauma expert Tembani Mantsena, exploring why it can be so difficult for people to leave relationships and situations where they no longer feel loved, valued, or respected. The discussion unpacked the emotional, psychological, and practical factors that often keep people in unhealthy environments, while challenging the common assumption that leaving is always simple. Listeners also received practical guidance on recognising when a situation is no longer serving them and how to begin navigating the process of moving forward.
