Love really had us out here ignoring EVERY red flag 😭🚩

In this episode, we’re getting into the relationship red flags we saw but chose to overlook because we were in love. From toxic behavior and broken promises to disrespect, mixed signals, and situations we KNEW weren’t right… why did we stay? 👀

We’re sharing stories, spilling the tea, and getting real about the things we convinced ourselves were okay just because we had feelings. Because sometimes it’s not that we didn’t see the red flags… we just thought love would be enough to change them.
