## Resource

In this episode, Dominic Michael explores the dangers of valuing chemistry over character in relationships, emphasizing the importance of integrity, consistency, and boundaries for building healthy connections. Chemistry is an emotion; character is a decision. Patterns, not promises, reveal true character. Access is earned through honesty and accountability. Red flags are indicators of character, not just behavior. Protect your peace by setting boundaries.
