The Subconscious Patterns Behind Every Affair

from The Scarlet Edit: Infidelity, Divorce, Starting Over.

Why do smart, successful people end up in affairs — and then can't leave? What's actually driving the pattern? And how do you know if you're settling or self-sabotaging?In this episode, I sit down with Katarina Polonska — behavioral scientist, executive relationship strategist, and someone whose own family was torn apart by infidelity. Katarina watched her father's affair destroy her parents' marriage, then found herself repeating the exact same pattern in her own engagement. That wake-up call led her to build a methodology that's now helped hundreds of high performers break the cycle.We get into the subconscious fear that keeps high performers trapped in double lives, why traditional therapy kept Katarina going in circles for 15 years, what it actually takes to know whether you should stay or go, and why only about 4% of affair relationships survive the transition — and what the ones that make it have in common.Whether you're the one being betrayed, the one doing the betraying, or the other woman wondering where you fit in all of this — this conversation will challenge how you think about every relationship you're in.Guest: Katarina Polonska — Behavioral Scientist, Executive Relationship Strategist, Founder of Successfully in Love®LinkedIn: Katarina PolonskaNew episodes every Thursday.💌 Business inquiries: [email protected]
