You saw the red flags. You felt the gut punch. And still, you stayed.

If you’ve ever looked back on a relationship and thought, “How did I miss that?”, this episode is for you.

Hilary breaks down why smart, high-achieving women override their instincts—not because they’re clueless, but because they want love so badly they talk themselves out of what they already know. The chemistry was strong. The checklist looked good. And he did have potential. So you minimized, rationalized, and convinced yourself it wasn’t that bad… until it was.

 

Episode Highlights:

  • What happens when logic wins out over emotion (and why that’s not always a good thing)
  • The quiet ways high-functioning women betray themselves in love
  • How “I see the good in people” becomes a self-sabotaging mantra
  • Why your discomfort is more trustworthy than you think
  • The link between intuition and emotional fluency
  • How to stop brushing off the ick and start paying attention to it
