Have you ever met someone you thought was the perfect match, love, and soul mate but ended up discovering the person is a real dud? More people than you think seek out people who are not right for them and subconsciously choose difficult, dysfunctional, or toxic relationships. Our brains are wired to maintain the status quo even when something may not be good for us depending on our upbringing. Maybe we are blinded by the dance of love. That push and pull leads us down a deep rabbit hole.

Women frequently find themselves ensnared in relationships that ultimately prove detrimental and toxic, often believing they have encountered their perfect match. The phenomenon of selecting partners who embody dysfunction or toxicity may stem from deep-seated psychological patterns established during formative years. Renowned relationship coach Mariya Graestone details this complex dynamic, guiding women toward a profound understanding of their relationship patterns and the importance of self-love. She is the author of Becoming Secure in Love: From Push to Pull to Peace of Mind. She emphasizes the necessity of establishing healthy boundaries and nurturing inner security, which are paramount to achieving fulfilling connections. Join Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro as we engage with Mariya’s compelling insights on cultivating healthy relationships and breaking free from the cycles of dysfunction, empowering women on their journey to self-discovery and love.
