Why do we sometimes attract the exact kind of person who ends up hurting us? In this thoughtful and slightly mischievous episode of Spill the Tea with D & E, Dominique and Erica explore the deeper reasons behind why the “wrong people” seem to show up in our lives.

Is it bad luck… or is something more subtle happening beneath the surface?

Dominique brings her intuitive and reflective lens to the conversation, looking at how our nervous systems, beliefs, and emotional patterns can quietly broadcast signals to others. Erica, with decades of coaching teens and real-world experience, adds grounded wisdom about boundaries, self-respect, and recognizing red flags early.

Together they explore why empaths often attract energy-takers, why kindness without boundaries can invite chaos, and how past wounds sometimes train us to feel comfortable in unhealthy dynamics.

But this episode isn’t about blame. It’s about awakening.

When we change our inner patterns, our outer relationships change too.

Through stories, humor, and a warm cup of tea, Dominique and Erica unpack how self-awareness, emotional healing, and clearer boundaries can completely transform the kinds of people we invite into our lives.

Because the moment you understand your own energy…

you stop attracting lessons and start attracting aligned relationships.

Tea is poured, truth is spoken, and a few relationship myths get politely escorted out the door.

Why we attract the wrong people often comes down to unconscious patterns, boundaries, and energy signals—and once we understand them, we can begin attracting healthier relationships.
