| 0:00.0 | This is Inner Work, a spiritual growth podcast, a place to explore our spiritual concepts, |
| 0:19.3 | tools, and practices to deepen your healing and awakening. |
| 0:24.1 | I'm your host, Josephine Hartman, a certified intuitive healer and a Kashik records practitioner and |
| 0:30.5 | teacher. I'm honored that you're here and happy to serve as a guide or companion on your path |
| 0:36.8 | for a little while. |

| 0:53.2 | In this special episode of Inner Work, we're going to explore the process of awakening |
| 0:58.3 | as it relates to and interplays with the process of being in a relationship with another |
| 1:04.9 | person or other people, especially romantic or intimate partnerships. |

| 1:26.6 | and we have now been married for six of those |
| 1:30.3 | years. Garrett and I have been from the very beginning, and very fortunately, conscious in our desire |
| 1:38.4 | and intention to use our relationship to grow and evolve, not just together, but also individually. We try to use our |
| 1:47.8 | relationship as much as we can to evolve as individual human beings or as souls having a human |
| 1:54.8 | experience and to evolve as a couple. I'm sure you've heard before that if only one person in a relationship is willing to grow and |
| 2:03.9 | change and take ownership of their stuff, that makes it challenging for everyone in the |
| 2:09.4 | relationship to grow together and move in the same direction. |
| 2:14.0 | So I can say at least from my view that Garrett and I are very lucky in the sense that we did |
| 2:20.7 | a lot of inner work and healing separately before we came together in this lifetime. |
| 2:27.2 | And that will be part of our discussion in this episode. |
