What if the people we resent the most are actually the people who believe in us the most?

This week, I explore the psychological themes behind the movie Obsession and why I believe it's less about romance and more about accountability, validation, and personal growth.

Through the lens of Bear and Nikki's relationship, I examine Red Pill culture, incel ideology, and why accountability is so often experienced as rejection. I also reflect on how this dynamic shows up in Black women's relationships and the expectations placed upon us in society.

This episode is also part of my own journey of healing my visibility wound—learning to show up consistently before I feel perfectly ready.
