'Why Do I Ignore Relationship Red Flags and Get Hurt?' w Hayden Brown And Greg Burgoyne

You can want love… yet lose yourself in relationships. Steve asks… “Why do I lose myself in relationships?” He describes a pattern of meeting someone, falling hard, overlooking red flags, and then almost losing himself in the relationship, only to find himself in the same painful cycle again. In this episode, we explore what often sits beneath that pattern… Infatuation, fantasy, people-pleasing, pain avoidance, and the unconscious beliefs that can drive us to seek euphoria while ignoring what isn’t truly aligned. We also look at how earlier relational wounds and self-judgments can shape the kind of persona we bring into relationships and why losing yourself often starts long before the relationship itself.   👉 If you’ve ever found yourself: • falling hard and ignoring obvious red flags • trying to be who someone else needs you to be in a relationship • confusing chemistry or euphoria with real alignment • repeating painful relationship patterns and not fully understanding why   👉 This episode will help you: • understand why infatuation can make you overlook what isn’t aligned • identify how pain avoidance and fantasy may be shaping your relationship patterns • reflect on the earlier wounds or beliefs that may be driving this cycle • get clearer on what a healthy, values-aligned relationship would actually look like   The goal of BREAKTHROUGH is to help you uncover the “why” behind your challenges and gain clarity on your next best steps to break the pattern.   This episode helps you reflect on the hidden foundations you may be building relationships on and what it could look like to move toward something more honest, grounded, and aligned.   Watch the episode on youtube here: https://youtu.be/zgqwHUhvjVo  Want your question answered on the show?
