In this episode, I discuss the phenomenon of falling for someone who turns out to be completely different from who we thought they were. I explore the pain and devastation that can come from this experience, especially for Romantics. I also touch on the importance of discernment and making informed decisions when progressing a relationship forward. I compare and contrast four different ways we can practice using discernment vs. how we can slip into unconsciousness. Ultimately, I encourage Romantics to reflect on their own experiences and consider how they can protect themselves and their hearts in future encounters.
