This is an I-Heart podcast.

Hello, everyone, my beautiful listener, welcome back to your favorite podcast, chickies

and chill.

I am so happy you've decided to press the play button on this episode because today we're talking about the difference between compromising and sacrificing.

They're two completely different things, but they're easy to confuse.

And depending on which route we take, they can get us in pretty sticky situations.

This applies to relationships, friendships, friendships, careers, and in so many other

areas of our lives. So let's talk about it. You ready? Are you sure? Well, let's go.

All right. So let's start by defining the two words. Let's start with compromise. Compromise is a

mutual exchange. Both parties give a little

to meet in the middle. There's respect, flexibility, and shared benefit. Now, sacrifice,

on the other hand, is when you are giving something up, often something important, without

receiving anything in return.

It's one-sided.

It can feel like you are betraying yourself just to keep something going.

Compromise says, let's adjust together, while sacrifice says, I'll disappear so you can be comfortable.

Hmm.

So if you confuse compromise and sacrifice, don't feel bad because I think we all do.

And sometimes we don't even realize why or how or how it's happening.

So that's why I thought it was very important to talk about it.

I'm going to start with relationships because I'm going to talk to you guys about my personal relationship, my husband, Emilio, as you guys know, I'm married.

I've been married for a little over a year.
