Romanticizing the Relationship

In this episode, Lauren and Bree sit down with Licensed Professional Therapist Suzanne Fortnum to discuss the dangers of romanticizing relationships. They explore the importance of falling in love with who a person truly is, rather than the potential of who we hope they could become. Suzanne sheds light on how fairytale-style romances can sometimes mask red flags—such as love bombing or toxic dynamics—and why it’s crucial to slow down when things move too fast. Tune in to learn how to recognize the signs of an unhealthy relationship and understand what truly builds the foundation for a healthy, lasting connection.
