Have you ever found yourself mid-fight about something small like the dishes, the thermostat, or a passing tone... wondering, how did we even get here?

In this raw and revealing episode of Dating Déjà Vu, Christina breaks down the REAL reason you keep looping through the same arguments. Spoiler: it’s not about the damn dishes.

We’re talking:

  • Why your emotional cup is already full and what’s really spilling over

  • How your brain craves the relief after a fight more than the resolution itself

  • The difference between true intimacy and emotional whiplash

Whether you're single reflecting on past patterns or in a relationship that feels like a merry-go-round of conflict, this one’s for YOU. Christina shares not only the why behind your relationship déjà vu but also gives you tools to break free from the cycle and find peace without chaos.

Let this episode be your wake-up call. You’re not broken. You’re just stuck in a story that’s ready to be rewritten.
