Red flags. We’ve all got them. How can we recognize our own red flags and use that information to grow? Why do we find ourselves drawn to people with the same red flags over and over? And why do we ignore red flags even when we know they’re there? Brianna McCabe, professor and author (The Red Flags I’ve (Repeatedly) Ignored: Love, Lust + Lessons), joins Jeff this week to help answer all of these questions. Plus, she and Jeff break down some common red flags on reality TV and play a round of Rapid Fire Red Flags.Listen to Jeff's podcast Problem Solved here: https://wavepodcastnetwork.com/Billable Event: Transaction ID - BDE69-7368492785-69 - Unauthorized Transcript/EP40Follow Brianna:Instagram: @thebriannamccabe TikTok: @thebriannamccabeLearn more about Brianna: thebriannamccabe.komi.ioRead: The Red Flags I’ve (Repeatedly) Ignored: Love, Lust + Lessons Order your copy of Big Dating Energy Available now!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
