Show Notes
Key Points:
- In this episode, I pose a confronting question: "Who in your life sees, loves, and witnesses you unconditionally just as you are?"
- When asked in my community, answers varied (children, aunts, sisters, a couple partners) - but notably, no one mentioned their mothers
- I share my personal answer to this question and how it’s lead to a liberational path forward
- Understanding that we often unconsciously seek in our partners what we didn't receive from our primary caregivers
- When we become our own source of unconditional love, it transforms all our relationships
Quotes from the Episode:
"When we can stop expecting someone else to be this presence for us and we turn towards ourselves to become this witness and this unconditional love... we can release the burden that we put on others unconsciously."
"It takes one person in a relationship to change the dance."
"Your love for yourself gets to be the bigger energy."
Announcements:
- Enrollment for Flourish and Write will be closing at the end of the month
- I'll be working with my community on writing a book together
