Breaking the cycle

We've all heard the advice: "Watch out for red flags." But what happens when you see them... and dive in anyway?In this first episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own story—falling into a narcissistic relationship despite every warning sign screaming at me to run. I'll walk you through the red flags I ignored, the excuses I made, and how I convinced myself that love could fix what was clearly broken from the start.From the charm that felt too good to be true (because it was), to the subtle manipulations I didn't recognize until I was in too deep—this is the raw, honest account of how I ended up in a relationship that nearly broke me.If you've ever ignored your gut, justified bad behavior, or wondered "how did I not see this coming?"—you're not alone. This episode is about recognizing the patterns we fall into, understanding why we ignore what we know, and learning to trust ourselves before it's too late
