Shantae's Love Story : We Tried Again but it Wasn't Meant to Be

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.
