In this powerful and revealing episode, the Nanas go deep on what it really means to love someone enough to be tough. With their trademark honesty, wisdom, and unfiltered truth-telling, they explore the many faces of Tough Love—when it's necessary, how it can be misunderstood, and why it's often one of the hardest but most loving places to stand.
They open up about personal experiences, the emotional weight of holding boundaries, and the internal struggle of showing up with fierce love when softness just won't serve. If you've ever had to make a hard call for the sake of someone you care about—or if you're on the receiving end of someone else's truth—this episode will give you clarity, validation, and courage.
