Shantae's Love Story : We Tried Again but it Wasn't Meant to Be
Description
In this episode of The Feminist Bar: Love Series, we’re joined by storyteller and creative Shantae, who takes us through a love story that came back around — and didn’t end the way she hoped.
It’s a tender, honest reflection on trying again, believing again, and the courage it takes to walk away (again), even when you wanted it to work.
Shantae opens up about:
• Why she chose to give love a second chance
• What felt different — and what didn’t
• The discomfort of hope meeting disappointment
• The moment she knew it was time to let go
• What she’s learned about patterns, expectations, and her own heart
This isn’t a story about a “failed” relationship — it’s about what it means to honour your intuition, to love deeply while staying rooted in self-worth, and to carry softness forward even when it hurts.
If you’ve ever gone back, tried again, or stayed too long — this one’s for you.
