Скачать или смотреть #31 Not Everything Is a Red Flag, You’re Just Scared

We need to talk about the obsession with red flags. It's frustrating how, “healing” became about seeing danger in everything and calling it discernment. But what if the thing you’re calling a red flag… is just fear? Or discomfort? Or your nervous system reminding you of stories from your past?


In this episode I dig into the difference between intuition and hypervigilance, explore how insecure attachment can warp our perception of safety, and break down why some of us run the second we feel anything real. This isn’t about ignoring your gut. It’s about calibrating it. Because healing isn’t about becoming so smart that you never get hurt again, it’s about learning how to stay soft without abandoning yourself.


If you’ve ever found yourself pushing away good people, mislabeling discomfort as danger, or using therapy-speak to justify avoidance...this one's for you.
