"I kept trying to make a toxic relationship work, bending over backward for someone who refused to meet me halfway. I begged for therapy, for communication, for them to just *try.* But I was chasing something that didn't exist. Through Cleared for Takeoff, I finally saw the truth—I was repeating the cycle my narcissistic mother had trained me for: dishonoring myself just to be 'loved.' When I finally let go of trying to change someone else and focused on what I deserved, everything changed. Today, I've landed my dream job, and I'm building a life where I am honored, respected, and at peace."

G.O Cleared for Takeoff Graduate

" I spent years acting like I didn't need anyone. I was angry, defensive, always ready to fight. My childhood had trained me to stay in survival mode, to push people away before they could hurt me. And then I met someone. At first, he was everything—charming, affectionate, the opposite of what I had known. But it escalated quickly. With Lisa's help, I finally had my breakthrough moment: Just because he's better than my dad doesn't mean he's good. That realization changed everything. I walked away. Now, I'm single, not because I have to be, but because I'm finally discovering who I am and what I deserve."
