Episode notes

When we love someone, we naturally care about their future, goals, and pursuits, wanting them to improve as they see fit. While personal goals and dreams often seem individual, success actually depends on the influence of those closest to us, particularly our partner. A supportive partner who encourages and celebrates us, while also pursuing their own satisfaction, plays a crucial role in our personal development. This concept, known as 'social contagion,' highlights how the people closest to us significantly influence our success and shape who we become.

We all know what red flags are, they tend to be universal at any age, but there are some redflags that are specific to our 20s, certain features of a relationship during this decade to look out for even if they don't look concerning at first. On today's episode we talk about the five biggest red flags for relationships in our 20s, including:

Relationships that stop you from having experiences
Relationships that cause emotional chaos
Relationships that don't celebrate or encourage you
All or nothing relationships
Fatal attractor relationships

We also explore the psychology and of course the research behind why these can be so damaging to help us find more sustainable and healthy love during this decade. Listen now!
