Summary
Are you a generous giver in relationships?
Do you give from your heart? From a place of love?
Or are you a little more tit-for-tat, where you expect something specific in return for giving?
If you answered yes to any of these, or you recognize these patterns in your relationship, this episode is for you. I break down the difference between relational unions (more heart-centered) and transactional unions (more quid pro quo).
I also give you steps to become more balanced between the two, because you do not want the pendulum to swing too far in either direction.

| 0:00.0 | Well, hello there, and welcome to this episode of The Terry Cole Show. |
| 0:04.7 | I want to start with a question today. |
| 0:07.5 | Do you consider yourself a magnanimous giver, like from the heart with love and equanimity, |

| 0:48.2 | if you're sort of leaning towards one side or the other, I've given you a bunch of questions |
| 0:52.7 | that you can answer in the guide. |
| 0:55.1 | This is either way if that pendulum swings too far in the relational, we don't have enough |
| 1:00.2 | discernment. |
| 1:01.2 | And if it swings too far in the transaction, it's just all about scarcity and mimimi. |
