65: Loving Yourself Doesn't Stop You from Choosing the Wrong Person

March 10

Episode Description

In this episode, Minaa B. challenges the idea that self-love is enough to stop you from choosing the wrong person. She breaks down why relationship choices are driven by unconscious patterns, not just self-worth—exploring how your brain seeks familiarity over health, how early sibling and peer dynamics create blueprints for attraction, and how external pressure (the financial and social cost of being single) pushes people toward relationships that aren't right for them.

Minaa offers practical strategies for recognizing when you're repeating old patterns and for making different choices. If you've ever wondered why you keep choosing emotionally unavailable people despite doing all the work on yourself, this episode is for you.
