    Welcome back Lovers. In this episode, we delve into the topic of self-introspection and relationships. We all know that relationships require work, and one of the most important aspects of that work is taking a good hard look at ourselves. When we are able to understand our own motivations, triggers, and patterns of behavior, we can approach our relationships with a greater level of awareness and compassion. Basically, we're asking ourselves whether we are or have been a red flag in relationships.
