Summary

#323: Sourcing Emotional and Physical Needs — Solo EP In this solo episode, I break down the behavioural patterns of minimizing our needs in relationship, which often stem from childhood experiences (you saw that one coming, right?!). It’s so important to honour our own needs and not settle for less. So let's cut the BS! Claim who you are, what you want, and what you’re going to create with your life. Be available to availability, set boundaries, tell the truth and clean up agreements. Hear your own voice and claim what you desire - free from needing the other person to change - then YOU are free to change and choose the life, love, and experience you want! To have the great love and great relationship you want - you MUST move forward telling the truth, creating NEW patterns, and reclaiming what you desire. You in?! P.S.

Every time I do a solo episode,

0:21.5

it is about diving into mastery, mastery of self, mastery of relationship, mastery of life.

0:26.6

It's about dissecting a relationship pattern or a pattern that we have in relationship

0:31.9

to everything we're in relationship with because anything that's not us, we are in relationship

0:36.3

with. And so we have this

0:37.8

opportunity to put a light on something. And today I'm going to be talking about circumstances I see a lot,

0:44.3

that I see in the way that people orient to friendships and the way that people orient to friends

0:49.9

with benefits, polyamory. But it's really about let's dissect what's going on when we minimize

0:55.4

our own needs in order to accommodate someone else's capacity. This is huge. So if you are someone

1:03.0

who tends to be in friendships with people who desire more from you, or you are someone

1:08.0

who tends to desire more from someone and you maintain relationship with them,

1:13.3

then you're going to want to hear this because this is going to uncover where that pattern comes

1:17.5

from and why and how we need to move through it. Now, what really sparked this desire to have

1:24.4

this discussion is I was talking to someone who was sharing that she,

1:28.9

so she's heterosexual, she has a lot of friendships with men. The men desire her that she's in

1:34.4

friendship with, but she's also in friendship with other men that she desires. What an interesting

1:40.6

paradox to be caught in, right? What you see is that unavailability is occurring

1:44.8

in two directions. She is unavailable to people who desire more, and she is experiencing

1:50.2

unavailability from the people she desires more from. Now, the way through this pattern can
