With the acuity of a seasoned detective, Brianne unpacks the subtle and not-so-subtle signals that foreshadow trouble ahead. She shares anecdotes from her clients' experiences in the murky waters of dating, marriage, and even friendships, providing a comprehensive look at the red flags that surface in various types of relationships.Brianne doesn't just stop at the obvious – she digs deeper into the nuanced red flags like the misuse of therapeutic language as a form of love bombing, the dangers of toxic positivity in dating profiles, and the covert tactics of narcissism that can isolate and control. She also tackles the difficult topic of how our own desires and insecurities can blind us to these signs, such as the allure of an aggressive partner or the comfort of a familiar but toxic friend.Listeners are invited to examine their own thresholds for what constitutes a red flag versus a deal breaker. Brianne's insights offer a powerful reminder that not every red flag is a call to arms; sometimes, it's simply a sign that it's time to wave the white flag and find peace in walking away.If you've ever questioned whether to stay or go, felt puzzled by mixed signals, or wondered how to distinguish a genuine connection from a deceptive facade, this episode is your guide through the labyrinth of red flags.
