Becoming Badass Podcast Ep #30

Why Smart, Amazing Women Keep Getting Hooked on the Wrong Men

If you've ever felt a strong pull toward someone—even when something felt off—you’re not alone.

In this episode of Becoming Badass, we're talking about the 5 relationship red flags that many smart, sucessful women confuse for chemistry. These are the subtle signs that feel thrilling at first... but can quietly lead to emotional unavailability, inconsistency, or toxic dynamics.

Spoiler: it's not your fault. It’s often your nervous system, your attachment patterns, and your past conditioning.

🎧 Listen to the Episode

❤️‍🔥 In This Episode, You'll Learn:

  • Why the “spark” you feel isn’t always a green flag

  • I tell you why, when you have anxious attachment and your dating, THIS one thing makes it nearly impossible to hear your intuition

  • How unresolved trauma can make unhealthy patterns feel familiar (and magnetic)

  • The real reason you keep chasing emotionally unavailable men

  • Why intensity can mimic intimacy—and how to tell the difference

  • The shift you need to make to attract secure, emotionally available love


The 5 Red Flags Women Mistake for Chemistry

  1. Hot and Cold Behavior
    If his attention flips between intense and distant, it can feel intoxicating—but it's actually emotional unpredictability, not true connection.

  2. Feeling Butterflies
    We’ve romanticized anxiety as excitement. Real chemistry isn’t supposed to feel like walking on eggshells.

  3. Over-Compliments Early On
    When someone pours on the flattery or talks about your future too soon, it may not be sincere—it could be love-bombing.

  4. Feeling Like You Have to “Earn” His Attention
    If you’re working hard for crumbs of connection, it’s not passion—it’s a trauma bond waiting to happen.

  5. Instant, Intense Connection Without Depth
    It’s easy to confuse familiarity or drama with depth. Real emotional intimacy is slower, safer, and more sustainable.


Why This Matters

So many smart, strong, and sucessful women stay stuck in relationship patterns that leave them second-guessing themselves. It’s not because they’re broken—it’s because their blueprint for love was wired to seek survival over safety.

But here’s the good news: you can rewrite that pattern.

It starts with awareness. And this episode is a powerful first step.
