Ever catch yourself wondering why the same relationship drama keeps happening with different people? In this episode, we’re diving deep into those sneaky patterns that keep us stuck in cycles we don’t even realize we’re in.
Sara breaks down the most common unhealthy relationship patterns – from the rescuer who’s always fixing someone to the conflict-avoider who’d rather suffer in silence than rock the boat. We’re talking about that push-pull dynamic, the perfectionist performance trap, and why some of us keep choosing emotionally unavailable people like it’s our job.
But here’s where it gets real – these patterns aren’t random. They’re usually rooted in childhood survival strategies that helped us navigate our early environments but are now sabotaging our adult connections. Sara explains how unresolved trauma gets re-scripted in our current relationships as we unconsciously try to “win” situations we couldn’t control as kids.
The good news? Awareness is the first step to change, and taking responsibility (without self-blame) gives you back your power. This episode is packed with practical steps for breaking these cycles, from mapping your relationship history to developing new responses to old triggers.
Whether you’re stuck in romantic relationships, friendships, family dynamics, or workplace patterns, this episode offers hope and actionable strategies. Female empowerment coaching meets real talk about why we do what we do – and how to do it differently.
