0:00.0	Welcome to the Yoga Inspired Life podcast. I'm your host, Shayla Quinn, and together we'll go on a journey of self-discovery as we explore all of the inner workings of what it means to live in inspired life. Join me for solo episodes and conversations with special guests for real, authentic deep dives into all things yoga, wellness, self-love,
0:23.6	mindfulness, and everything in between.
0:25.6	If you're ready to get inspired, learn, grow, evolve, to connect and up-level your life, then
0:31.6	you've come to the right place.
0:33.6	I am beyond excited that you're here. So let's dive in.
0:48.7	What's up, my love? Welcome back to another bonus episode of the Yoga Inspired Life podcast.
0:57.3	First and foremost, thank you for being a part of my Patreon community. I have been loving this community that we are building on here. It feels so safe, so sacred, so good, and I'm just really grateful for you.
1:03.2	And today we're going to talk about ignoring red flags for the sake of connection, because I
1:10.6	want to have an honest conversation about a pattern that I've
1:14.8	been reflecting on a lot lately in my friendships and dating and even some professional

1:46.7	harsh in judgment and is open-minded and forgiving and accepting and I don't want to discriminate
1:52.6	against anyone or, I don't know, hold people to an unfair standard, right? Like, we want to give people
1:58.2	the benefit of the doubt. We don't want to be or seem judgmental.
2:02.5	But eventually, and I'm so curious if any of you can relate, when we ignore these red flags or these
2:08.9	gut feelings and we realize eventually our needs are not being met and resentment builds and the
2:14.6	relationship either fizzles or it can end up blowing up in our face and we're
2:19.1	left with this feeling of like what the F is going on. And this is kind of, this is just like something I've
2:25.6	been experiencing a lot over the last year as I am dating again and putting myself out there
