The More They Reject You, The Harder You Try | Why We Chase Love That Hurts | Ep. 002
27 May 2025
When love feels like a battle you're desperate to win, something deeper is happening. In this vulnerable episode, I share my personal story of staying in a 5-year relationship with a professional football player who was cheating with multiple women—while I remained in denial, searching for "proof" I already had.I dive into why we chase people who reject us, why we work overtime to convince someone to love us, and the childhood wounds that program us to equate love with struggle.I'm talking about:The psychological trap that keeps us fighting for relationships that hurt usHow denial becomes a survival mechanismMy own journey through infidelity and the wake-up call I couldn't ignoreThe connection between childhood experiences and our adult relationship patternsHow to recognize when you're chasing love that will never fulfill youIf you've ever found yourself trying harder the more someone pulls away, this episode will help you understand why—and how to break free.Support the showThis is the podcast they don't want you listening to. 👉 Find me at strongerthanbefore.ca Book A Session with Lisa Follow on IG: @_stronger_than_before_coachWatch on YouTube: Stronger Than Before Get My Books Here Want to pitch a topic or guest to me?
