When we try to force a relationship with someone who isn’t a good fit, it’s time to do some serious work on our own self-worth. People often end up “chasing” the same type over and over, hoping they’ll uncover something about ourselves we just aren’t seeing. But to have a healthy relationship with someone else, we first need to recognize our own innate self worth - with and without them. 

It may involve a painful decision to let go, but it’s a whole lot harder and more painful trying to convince someone to choose you.

Today is all about how to break the cycle of getting stuck in bad relationships (there’s even a science behind why we often do). What if you valued yourself so much that you were willing to let go of everything, including the inconsistent and one-sided relationships, to make space for powerful, loving, beautiful and consistent relationships that will absolutely light up your life?

In this episode, we’re talking about:

• Why you keep choosing people who aren’t a good fit for you
• How to improve self-worth 
• Why your partner might be moving at a different speed than you
• Communication in a healthy relationship
• Being consistently available emotionally in a relationship 
• Why bad relationships make us feel safe
• Why we’re sometimes attracted to the wrong people
• Anticipatory dopamine and our attraction to chaos
• How to foster a healthy relationship
