Description
Why We Chase the Wrong Relationships (And How to Finally Break the Cycle)
What happens when love becomes the thing that breaks you… instead of builds you?
In this raw and powerful episode of Shot At Love, I sit down with Ben Currier—host of the top-ranked podcast Failure Guy—to unpack a story that starts with one impulsive decision… and spirals into complete collapse.
At the height of his career, Ben moved across the country for a woman he barely knew. Within weeks, he lost everything—his stability, his belongings, his sense of self.
But this isn’t just a story about losing it all.
It’s about why we ignore red flags, chase intensity over intimacy, and stay in situations that slowly break us.
Together, we unpack the deeper patterns behind modern dating—emotional addiction, trauma bonding, and the dangerous pull of relationships that feel like passion… but are really chaos.
If you’ve ever:
Thought a relationship would save you
Stayed longer than you should have
Confused emotional highs with real connection
Or rushed into something just to avoid being alone
This episode will hit home.
Because what Ben ultimately discovered is this:
Rock bottom isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of rebuilding your life the right way.
This conversation is about resilience, self-worth, and what it actually takes to break the cycles that keep you stuck—and finally create a healthy, grounded relationship.
If you’re ready to stop repeating the same patterns in love… this episode is for you.
