You Can Choose the Right Person and STILL Have an Unhealthy Relationship (Ep 114)

What if you chose the right person…but still don't have a healthy relationship?

We spend SO much time learning how to find the right partner.

Look for green flags. Avoid red flags. Find someone emotionally available. Know your standards. Choose someone compatible. Pay attention to attachment styles.

All important.

But there's a part of the conversation we don't talk about nearly enough:

Choosing a healthy partner and knowing how to BE a healthy partner are two different skills.

In this episode of The Secret Formula of Femininity, licensed psychologist Dr. Nicole Monteiro explores why two basically good people can still create an unhealthy relationship—and the relationship skills that help healthy love actually grow.

We're talking about:

💚 Why a “good person” doesn't automatically create a good relationship

💚 How two loving people can get trapped in unhealthy relationship patterns

💚 The difference between communication and REPAIR

💚 Why healthy relationships require us to influence—and be influenced by—our partners
