Season 3 - Episode 59: The Truth About Red Flags & Toxic Relationships

Apr 14, 2026

We hear about “red flags” everywhere…on social media, from friends, in dating advice.

But the truth is, the search for "red flags" only makes women trust themselves less. It creates so much fear and resistance to dating & relationships - and actually keeps women in the cycle of painful, toxic trauma bonds.

In this episode, I unpack the deeper reality of what’s actually happening when you find yourself in a “toxic” relationship… and why simply spotting red flags isn’t enough to change your patterns.

Most women aren’t missing the red flags, they’re overriding the signals in their body.

This episode is an invitation to look beyond the other person’s behavior… and turn inward to understand what’s really keeping you in dynamics that don’t feel good.

If you’ve ever stayed too long, ignored your intuition, or found yourself repeating the same relationship patterns… This conversation will shift something in you.

In this episode:

  • Why “red flags” aren’t the real problem
  • The difference between awareness and embodiment
  • How your nervous system and conditioning keep you attached
  • The role of the saboteur archetypes in toxic dynamics
  • Why chemistry can be misleading (and even addictive)
  • The deeper truth about “toxic relationships” (that no one talks about)
  • How to begin trusting yourself again in love
  • What it actually looks like to choose differently

The red flags were never the problem…abandoning yourself in the presence of them was.
