Episode Description

Chalene Johnson tackles the question most people are afraid to ask: what if the common denominator in every failed relationship is you?

She walks through seven signs that you might be the one creating the pattern, from blaming exes instead of owning your part, to childhood attachment wounds resurfacing in adult relationships, to being quick to judge and slow to say sorry. Chalene explains why arrogance can quietly protect you from ever seeing your own role in the breakup or blowup, and why the healthiest relationship you can build is the one with yourself.

Topics discussed: toxic relationship patterns, attachment style, arrogance in relationships, empathy, self-sabotage, therapy, magnesium and brain function

🚨Questions Chalene Wants Your Thoughts on:

  • Do you tend to explain what happened in a breakup without mentioning your own part in it?
  • Have old traumas ever shown up in how you handle a friendship or relationship today?
  • Is it hard for you to be the one who says sorry first?
