The vicious cycle you don't know you're in [Podcast EP 46]

Are you caught in the cycle of toxic relationships?

There is a reason why you feel exhausted all the time. Your energy is being sucked right out of you. And this is costing you everything- your relationship with friends and family, your career, your finances, and most of all, your happiness. When you're in an unhealthy relationship, you are caught in a vicious cycle I like to call the "Good Bad Ugly".

Good: The honeymoon period after a fight. You're cuddling, having intense sex, he's doing big romantic gestures. It's an extreme, intense high.

Bad: He starts pulling away again. He's not responding to texts, he's acting suspicious, he's spending all his time fixating on a distraction like fantasy sports, porn, drinking, other women or whatever is his personal flavor. You're trying to talk to him and find out what the problem is and he insists nothing's wrong, you're just acting crazy.

Ugly: The big, intense, explosive fight sesh that goes until 4 in the morning. You've said it's over. You've said this is the last chance. 

Repeat.

In this podcast, I go in depth on each phase and why this is NOT what real love looks like(!) and how it is negatively impacting your life. I talk about what real love DOES look like, and how I can help you get out of the toxic relationship, become happily single, and then find the healthy, secure loving relationship that you deserve and are capable of.

I also read some real feedback from inside the Back to YOU Academy Facebook group, talking about how the Academy has helped them. We're waiting with open arms for you to join us!! Give yourself a chance at real love. There is no dress rehearsal in life. We are live, right now. 

It is especially important for you to do if you have children. Imagine the impact it will have on them to be able to watch their mother stand up for herself, know that she deserves better, and totally change the course of her life? They will never forget it and will carry that lesson into their own lives.

The next Academy starts Monday, October 7th, 8pm EST. Click the link below to join!
