🚦 Relationship Yellow Flags: When to Stay, Fix or Leave? | Red Light, Green Light & The Yellow Zone (Part 2)

We have rebranded and still going in the series Today, we are joined by Oyindamola Willoughby, a good friend of Damisola.

Not every relationship issue is a red flag. Not every good trait is a green flag. Some situations sit in the middle — the yellow zone.

In Part 2 of this conversation, Dam and Onyinye explore relationship yellow flags, the habits and behaviours that may not be deal-breakers today but could become bigger problems tomorrow. They discuss communication, compromise, personal standards, emotional maturity, insecurity, and the importance of knowing what you want — and what you absolutely do not want.

The episode also looks at how yellow flags become green flags through growth and accountability, or turn into red flags when ignored for too long.

In This Episode:

🟡 What relationship yellow flags really mean

🟡 Why communication matters more than assumptions

🟡 The difference between compromise and lowering your standards

🟡 How insecurity affects relationships

🟡 When patience is helpful and when it becomes harmful

🟡 Why self-awareness is necessary for growth

🟡 How to identify patterns before they become problems
