Welcome back to The Blueprint Podcast. I’m Yanique — your friend, your sister, and your host.

If you caught our last episode with Briyon Minor, we explored parenting, children’s mental health, and the patterns formed in the home. In today’s episode, we continue that conversation — because what starts in the home doesn’t stay there. It follows us into our adult relationships, how we love, how we cope, and how we heal.

I’m joined again by Briyon Minor, Licensed Associate Professional Counselor based in Atlanta, who works closely with individuals and families navigating trauma, relationships, and recovery. Together, we unpack how emotional abuse shows up, why leaving unhealthy relationships is so difficult, and what real healing looks like.

This episode is for anyone who has ever questioned their reality, felt stuck in a cycle they couldn’t explain, or tried to love someone through pain.

You’re not broken. You’re not alone. You’re becoming.
