Bloggers & Friends Podcast X Nyla Lawrence: Finding Safety, Ditching “Types,” And Building Black Love
Manage episode 522079016 series 2897893
The loudest voices online say will have you believing real love and commitment don't exist. We’re here to prove the opposite. Newlywed Nyla joins us to share how therapy gave her the tools to self-regulate, why deep conversation beat small talk every time, and how choosing for the future—not just the moment—changed everything. From vulnerability to values, her story offers a grounded, hopeful perspective on finding and building love that will last.
We talk about safety as something you can feel: patience when you’re tender, kindness when you’re overwhelmed, and the quiet confidence of being fully yourself without performance. Nyla gets specific about ditching her “type,” writing a values-first list, and dating with honesty across multiple connections until real commitment was clear. We unpack red flags vs. fixable friction, agreements that keep conflict from turning into punishments, and the simple discipline of never weaponizing silence. It’s practical, not preachy—communication, boundaries, and mutual respect.
If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a hopeful nudge, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway—we read every word!
