Summary

Have you been interacting with someone and concern rises up within you? An unsettledness bubbles up? Your guard goes up, and you start thinking things like: I don’t know if I can trust them. I don’t know if I can believe what they’re saying. Am I safe to share with them?

If so, this first episode in our new season, "Red Flags in Relationships," is for you.

In this episode, you'll learn:

What a red flag is and what it isn't.
How to recognize areas of concern for ourselves without shaming or blaming another person.
Two crucial ingredients that must be present for a relationship not to just survive but flourish.
