When love feels like a battle you're desperate to win, something deeper is happening. In this vulnerable episode, I share my personal story of staying in a 5-year relationship with a professional football player who was cheating with multiple women—while I remained in denial, searching for "proof" I already had.

I dive into why we chase people who reject us, why we work overtime to convince someone to love us, and the childhood wounds that program us to equate love with struggle.

I'm talking about:

• The psychological trap that keeps us fighting for relationships that hurt us
• How denial becomes a survival mechanism
• My own journey through infidelity and the wake-up call I couldn't ignore
• The connection between childhood experiences and our adult relationship patterns
• How to recognize when you're chasing love that will never fulfill you

If you've ever found yourself trying harder the more someone pulls away, this episode will help you understand why—and how to break free.
