This Theory Will Help Your Relationships!

In this episode, we dive into Kojo’s “Red and Green Theory” — a mindset that breaks down how we view the people in our lives. Green means solid, consistent, and good energy. Red means the vibe is off, trust is shaky, or something’s not adding up.

But what happens when someone you have in the green starts treating you like you’re in the red?

We unpack:
• What the red and green mindset really means
• How to address friends or partners when their energy shifts
• How to protect your peace without ghosting people
• The importance of honest conversations and emotional awareness
• When “feelings aren’t facts” and how to approach that in relationships
