In this eye-opening episode of Between The Lines, host Corine La Font welcomes Kevin Palmieri, co-founder of Next Level University, to discuss the often-ignored red flags in relationships and personal well-being. Together, they delve into Kevin's journey from a seemingly perfect life—complete with a high-paying job, a model girlfriend, and a passion for bodybuilding—to a dark place of anxiety and despair.

Kevin shares his candid experiences of overlooking critical warning signs in both his relationships and mental health, revealing how the allure of perceived happiness can blind us to the truth. The conversation highlights the delusions we create around love and fulfillment, and the importance of recognizing when we are compromising our values in pursuit of connection.

Key topics include:

- The psychological impact of seeking validation through relationships.

- How societal pressures can lead us to ignore glaring red flags.

- Strategies for maintaining self-awareness and prioritizing mental health.

- The significance of having a support system to help navigate personal challenges.

- Understanding the difference between real green flags and the delusions we create.

Kevin emphasizes the importance of doing the internal work necessary to foster healthy relationships, stating that true fulfillment comes from within rather than relying on someone else to 'fix' us.

Join Corine and Kevin as they explore the complexities of love, self-worth, and the necessity of reading between the lines in our lives.
