In this heartfelt episode, Nacrissa and her co-host Chariece Cylar open up an honest conversation about grief in all its forms—from losing a parent to the quiet heartbreak of friendships, faith communities, and seasons that fade away.

Chariece shares her personal story of losing her father and what it means to find space for healing without guilt or judgment. Together, they explore compound grief, the layers that pile up when life delivers multiple losses at once, and the importance of sacred spaces, genuine community, and setting boundaries that protect your peace.

This episode is a reminder that grief doesn't have a timeline—and that healing begins when you give yourself permission to pause, feel, and rebuild.

In this episode of No More Secrets on Sunday, we explore how something meant to bring people closer—love languages—can sometimes be misused or misunderstood. Whether it's weaponizing someone's love language to manipulate, or feeling entitled to love without self-awareness, we unpack how the misuse of this popular framework can actually cause harm. Drawing from personal stories and practical insights, we ask the deeper questions: Are we using love languages to connect or control? Are we giving what we want, or what they truly need?

📚 In This Episode, We Explore:

• What love languages are really about (and what they're not)
• How people misuse love languages in relationships—romantic, platonic, and religious communities
• When "acts of service" become resentment
• Why unmet needs don't justify manipulative behavior
• The difference between desire and demand when it comes to receiving love
• How healing and self-love create space for authentic connection
