Why do we ignore the signs that someone isn’t right for us? 👀 In this episode of And Here We Are, we unpack the truth behind overlooking red flags — from subtle disrespect to full-blown toxicity — and how fear, loneliness, and hope can make us excuse behaviors that don’t sit right.

We share personal stories, listener confessions, and hard-earned lessons about recognizing emotional red flags, trusting your intuition, and healing afterward.

💔 In This Episode:

• The real reasons we overlook red flags
• Emotional consequences of staying too long
• Rebuilding self-worth and learning to trust your gut
• Setting boundaries that protect your peace

If you’ve ever said “maybe they’ll change,” this one’s for you.

This week on And Here We Are, Dee and Tee explore the similarities and differences between spirituality and religion—two concepts often viewed as separate but deeply connected.

We unpack childhood experiences with religion, personal journeys of spirituality, and the ways both influence relationships, society, and self-discovery.

Topics include:

• Religion as structure vs spirituality as personal exploration
• How each shapes morality, community, and growth
• The role of trauma, upbringing, and culture in belief systems
• Is society moving away from organized religion toward spirituality?

✨ Tune in for an honest, thought-provoking conversation that blends laughter, insight, and real-life reflection.
