Summary
"Inner-Work": looking within to see where you can grow and evolve (ie. what needs to be healed from your past, which patterns need to be unlearned, and realizing that you recreate experiences when you didn't get the lesson).
Doing this "inner work" is absolutely imperative to cultivate your desired partnership. Most importantly you, and ideally your partner, must be willing to do this inner-work in some shape or form. Why? Because otherwise you will recreate patterns that do not serve your current relationship.
This inner-work doesn't have to be overwhelming and we promise it can be an empowering experience! It is actually how you can become the very best version of yourself and express your inherent gifts as a human being. That's why you'll love this episode! You will hear:
- What happens if you don't embrace the "inner work" needed for your relationship
- 5 areas within yourself to do the inner-work
- 3 helpful tools to consider as part of your journey individually and as a couple
