Are you waiting for someone to change? Expecting a relationship to finally fill that emptiness inside?
You're blocking love. And you don't even know it.
Most of us grew up without a manual on how to actually build a relationship. We watched dysfunction. We learned to attach instead of love. We created expectations that keep us stuck.
And here's the kicker: nothing outside of you will ever fill you up.
In this episode, Tracy explores:
* Why your childhood conditioning blocks your ability to love as an adult
* How expectations and entitlement destroy intimacy
* The difference between living in reality versus fantasy about relationships
* Why perfection is just another way of avoiding yourself
* Her own mother as a mirror for what blocking love looks like
* How to stop manipulating situations to get what you want
* The four key steps to opening yourself to real love
"Expectations block love. Every sense of entitlement you have blocks love." ~ Tracy Crossley
This is part one of two. If you keep ending up in the same relationship patterns and can't figure out why—this is your wake-up call.

#822: Ignoring Red Flags Because You See the Good (REBROADCAST)
Yes, there is good in all of us. But that doesn’t mean you should ignore red flags in a relationship because you want to see the good in people. And it certainly doesn’t mean it’s your job to make those red flags go away; to shine that diamond in the rough! When you tell yourself what an amazing person you are for seeing the good in someone, that’s your ego talking. It’s the false part of yourself seeing the false part of others. And it’s totally rooted in insecure attachment. Emotionally healthy people don’t sacrifice their own wellbeing for others.
When you believe this martyr story and ignore or excuse red flags, you sell yourself short. You do NOT deserve a “broken” person who needs rescuing. That road leads to unhappiness because it’s an impossible journey, and you’ll never find what you’re looking for. Focusing on the other person means you’re avoiding yourself. In today’s podcast we’ll explore this story we tend to create, and how to change it. Ignoring red flags doesn’t make you noble. Let’s dispel that belief so you can shift to the real work: the work that begins with you.
WISDOM NUGGET (#wisdomnugget)
You are your own red flag. Surrender to reality, stop the story and be that hero for yourself.
