I just watched โOne to One: John & Yokoโ, a documentary that beautifully reveals the paradox of love between two artistic soulmates โ John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
Both carried deep wounds of childhood trauma โ parental absence, emotional instability, and lifelong themes of abandonment.
And yet, their relationship became a powerful search for connection, creativity, and peace.
They were:

๐ ๐๐๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐, navigating public scrutiny and emotional complexity.
What struck me most is how trauma can both magnetise and destabilise love.
John and Yoko were drawn together through shared pain and shared purpose โ yet their emotional patterns also created tension and misunderstanding.
What stands out is how shared trauma can create powerful chemistry โ but not always emotional security.
Their story reminds us that emotional resonance is not the same as emotional safety, stability, and availability.
For many successful, high-achieving women, this dynamic feels familiar:
๐ซ You meet someone who โgetsโ you on a deep level.
๐ซ The connection feels extraordinary โ even fated.
๐ซ Yet, over time, patterns of over-giving, rescuing, or self-doubt appear.

Thatโs why developing emotional fitness โ the ability to discern between chemistry and compatibility โ is essential in dating and partnership.
To help women identify early warning signs before emotional investment takes hold, I created a FREE Dating Red Flag Checklist โ a practical tool to support emotionally intelligent choices in love.
