In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about red flags - not the fluffy social media kind, but the real ones that mess with your self-worth, isolate you from your people, and keep you stuck in relationships you know deep down aren’t good for you.
We talk about why so many of us keep choosing red flags over real love, even when we say we want different.
We also share stories from our therapy work (with full permission), including what it looks like when someone’s self-esteem is so low, they’ll give up everything just to feel loved. It’s a big one.
Here’s what we dive into:
- Why red flags can feel like chemistry when you’re stuck in survival mode
- The fixer pattern: when you think love means changing someone
- How dating apps are messing with self-esteem (and why we’d never have met if we relied on swiping)
- The emotional cost of chasing attention over alignment
- Why “green flags” can feel boring — and how to rewire that
- What we’ve learned about self-worth, love, and choosing better
