In this episode, I’m diving into something we’ve all experienced but rarely slow down to fully understand—the signals we ignore in relationships.

I’m talking about red flags, yellow flags, and green flags—not in a surface-level way, but the real-life patterns that show up in how people treat us, how we feel around them, and what we’ve been taught to tolerate.

I share the moments I missed the signs, the relationships that drained me, and the ways I slowly lost myself by ignoring what my body and intuition already knew.

I also walk you through one of the most powerful tools I use in my own healing and with my clients: The Flag Tracker. If you’ve ever doubted yourself, felt confused in a dynamic, or kept trying to make something work that’s been hurting you—this tool will help you see clearly again.

This isn’t about labeling people. It’s about honouring what you feel. And choosing to trust yourself again.

✨ What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• Why noticing the early signals can save you from years of confusion, burnout, and self-abandonment
• The truth about why we stay, even when we know something feels off
• How I completely lost my voice in past relationships—and the moment everything changed
• What green flags actually feel like, and why they’re often the ones we overlook
• The quiet discomfort of yellow flags—and how they slowly turn into patterns that break you down
• How to start tracking the signals your body already knows, using my Flag Tracker tool
• The exact questions to ask when you're not sure if you’re feeling safe or just surviving
• Why raising your standards isn’t a bad thing—it’s a reflection of finally choosing yourself

This one’s for anyone who’s ever kept quiet to keep the peace. Who’s ever felt like they were asking for too much, or making excuses for someone else’s behaviour. You don’t need more proof. You just need to start listening to what you’ve felt all along.
