Episode 603: Yung Pueblo: How to Build Healthier Relationships Without Losing Yourself

We all want healthier relationships, but sometimes our own habits get in the way. We overthink, hold on to things we can't control, and repeat the same patterns. So how do we break those cycles and build deeper connections?

We dive into this in Habits & Hustle with Yung Pueblo, also known as Diego Perez. We talk about why the "protect your peace" mentality might be hurting our relationships, how to stop absorbing other people's emotions, and why you don't need to be fully healed before finding love.

Yung Pueblo is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and co-founder of Wisdom Ventures, with millions of followers across social media. His latest book is Journey: The Year That Changes Everything. He shares what he learned from 60 days of silent meditation, why self-awareness is essential for healthier relationships, and how to let go of the patterns keeping us stuck.
