There are 7 primal questions that affect people’s behavior, decisions, and relationships. Your primal question has to do with your early life. If you experienced deficiency or instability in a particular area, your primal question could be sparked by that. Or, if you experienced an over-abundance or over-affirmation in a particular area, that could be the cause of your primal question. People may make decisions and navigate relationships in a way that forces a ‘yes’ to their primal question, even if it isn’t in their best interest. Tune in to hear a deep dive into all 7 of these questions, and hit the link below to take the free assessment.
