Not to fix anything or force positivity… but to help you pause, soften, and remember what it feels like to stop carrying so much on your own. Join me to slow down, release the pressure to keep performing, and reconnect with the version of you that exists underneath the expectations, responsibilities, and exhaustion.

268: Why You Ignore Red Flags (Even When You See Them) with Ginny Priem

What happens when what you thought was love comes crashing down? One moment, everything feels aligned — the connection, the chemistry, the way they show up. And then slowly, something shifts… and you’re left trying to make sense of what changed, what you missed, and why it no longer feels the way it did. In this episode, I’m joined by Ginny Priem — keynote speaker and #1 bestselling author of You’re My Favorite. Her work is rooted in a deeply personal journey that began with what felt like a fairytale relationship… and took an unexpected turn that challenged everything she thought she knew about love. Together, we explore why it can be so hard to see clearly when you’re emotionally invested, why we miss red flags even when they’re right in front of us, and what happens when the version of someone you believed in starts to unravel.
