Some songs make you sway, sing out loud, and remember a moment in time—but when you slow down long enough to really listen to the lyrics, you realize…that wasn’t love at all.Join Dr. LaQuita Parks, Diontrise Blake, and Shanita Dawson-Ugwuoke for a deep, funny, and eye-opening conversation as we dive into the love songs that fooled us. Those songs that sounded romantic, felt emotional, and became the soundtrack to our memories—yet the message behind the music was anything but healthy love.In this episode, we explore:🎶 The songs we grew up thinking were “love songs” but were actually about heartbreak, obsession, confusion, or emotional imbalance🎶 How the music we loved shaped the way we learned to tolerate unhealthy love🎶 Why titles can be deceiving—and how we miss the message because we love the melody🎶 What happens when healing helps us hear the lyrics clearly for the first time🎶 The difference between real love… and the lyrical versions we inheritedWith transparency, humor, and real-life reflection, we confront the truth:Sometimes the song sounded like love—until you healed.Come laugh, learn, and listen differently with your favorite cousins as we break down the music that raised us, shaped us, and sometimes misled us.Because inside of love, there is clarity and truth…but outside of love, even the best melody can mask a broken message.

We all have broken pieces—parts of ourselves that we try to hide, ignore, or fix before we feel “ready” to love or be loved. But what if healing doesn’t mean perfection? What if it simply means accepting yourself right where you are?Join Dr. LaQuita Parks, Diontrise Blake, and Shanita Dawson-Ugwuoke for a transparent conversation about learning to love the parts of you that you’ve judged, rejected, or labeled as “not enough.”We’re talking real, raw, and relatable moments: the shame we carry, the forgiveness we withhold from ourselves, and the grace that helps us keep going.💜 Because loving the broken you… is the first step to loving the whole you.#WhatHappensOutsideOfLove #TheCousinsPodcast #HealingConversations #FaithAndLove #LovingTheBrokenYou #InsideOfLove #GraceInTheBrokenness #PaProViPublishing

How do you reclaim your voice and rebuild trust when your heart has been broken from the inside? And how do you show up for someone still trapped in the silence
