Rarely, though, do people tell you what to do when you actually encounter them – especially when you’re in the thick of a relationship. When we are so deeply involved with our emotions and a number of socio-cultural factors are at play, it can become easy to ignore the warning signs. They end up becoming a lesson in hindsight for many. But what if there was a guidebook we could turn to, and frequently reference, to know whether we have a glaring big red flag in front of us and what we should do about it?
If you have been looking for a sign from the universe, here it is – author, marketing expert, podcast host and adjunct professor Brianna McCabe’s “The Red Flags I’ve (Repeatedly) Ignored.” Part-autobiographical, part self-help, Brianna candidly shares her own experiences of repeatedly ignoring red flags in dating and in her relationships. With the initial hope of cracking the code on sex, love, and relationships, instead Brianna learns what it means to actually love herself. She navigates the dating scene—eliminating potential boyfriends one red flag at a time—and shares all of her funny, raw, and real details with readers along the way.
Her book has been described by one reader as “the literal dating Bible,” and by another reviewer as the “book I wished I had in my 20s.” By sharing her stories she’s going to save your time. She’s going to save your energy. And most importantly, she’s going to save your heart.
Aside from her day job at a renowned public relations firm, Brianna also hosts a podcast called The Red Room, which has amassed more than a million views across TikTok and Instagram. Clearly, she knows what she is talking about, and has tapped into a cultural phenomenon that we’d all like to become better at spotting, in the hope of avoiding heartbreak or trauma.
We had the chance to speak with Brianna about what it meant to be vulnerable and candid about her own experiences in this book, why self-love is a key ingredient to being able to spot red flags, and what she hopes readers will be empowered by after picking up a copy of “The Red Flags I’ve (Repeatedly) Ignored.”
