The Red Flags I’ve (Repeatedly) Ignored: Love, Lust, + Lessons

Brianna McCabe, a marketing professional and professor, emerged from her treacherous twenties with enough lessons about love to fill a book. So she decided to write one. After all, she couldn’t keep all that she learned to herself.

In this semi-autobiographical (ish) self-help book, Brianna puts herself on the line in the hopes of cracking the code on sex, love, and relationships, but instead 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.

McCabe’s soul-baring book, The Red Flags I’ve (Repeatedly) Ignored, explores the relationship danger signs that she failed to see. Well, maybe sometimes she did notice some red flags, but she ended up disregarding her gut instincts that told her to flee the person or situation, anyway... but why?

McCabe digs deep in this semi-autobiographical (ish)-meets-self-help book to understand her own choices that led to heart aching and breaking by answering some critical questions - and further providing an action plan for not just herself, but readers along her self-exploratory journey.

McCabe wrote this book to heal from her own wounds, such as abandonment and ＂daddy issues,＂ being bullied as a child for being overweight, feeling insecure and only attracting men who further exacerbated her insecurities, and growing up in a dysfunctional environment for a period of her life. Initially, she struggled to understand the roots of her insecurities. However, as she develops a greater understanding of herself, McCabe has learned to not only heal, but to build upon her unique strengths. By offering a self-love roadmap to readers through The Red Flags I’ve (Repeatedly) Ignored, she hopes to inspire others to do the same.

McCabe eventually learns that to first enjoy the comforting embrace of a romantic lover, you must first embrace your own true self. Join McCabe, her friends, her family members and, yes, her lovers as she navigates this almost universally tumultuous decade with compassion and humor. She turns raunchy rendezvous, roller coaster relationships, and rock-bottom moments into real revelations.
