Ignoring the red flags and dealing with insecurities

In a candid advice to people starting new relationships, the mother of five noted that red flags should not be ignored from the onset, adding that great partners are not short in supply.

"Dear young girls and boys, all the signs are there when you meet, don’t ignore the red flags like I did .There are great partners out there to compliment your own greatness." Daniella opined.

She reached out to women to be brave and tell their truth as a means of accelerating healing from difficult experiences and inspiring others writing:

"And if your family or anyone doesn’t like it, let them deal with their insecurities. You ‘re sharing your life as you experienced it and if people wanted to be talked about any better, they should have treated you right. You ‘ll never be a victim for sharing your story. Instead, you will be a triumphant survivor setting the world on fire with your truth and your courage.

“You never know who needed your light, who needed to see your candle in order to light theirs or who needed your story as a manual for their own escape. Granted, you must first heal enough before you tell your story to the world, it takes energy to climb onto stage to talk to people so make sure you are not still bleeding emotionally as you go up. Heal to a degree that you can talk without caring who lashes back at you for apparently ‘exposing them”.
