In this episode of The New Age Sage Podcast, I uncover the hidden trap that keeps so many of us stuck in love with people who never truly existed.

We’ll explore why so many relationships feel intoxicating at first but crumble later — because what we were in love with wasn’t the person, but the fantasy we projected onto them. I break down how “projection paralysis” blinds us to red flags, silences our intuition, and keeps us clinging to illusions of “the One” while ignoring the human being right in front of us.

You’ll learn how childhood conditioning trains us to idealize others, why the myth of perfection sabotages intimacy, and how to break free from the cycle of falling for ghosts. Most importantly, I’ll show you how real love is born — not in chasing fantasy, but in the courage to see and accept each other’s humanity, shadows, and imperfections.
