Summary

You’ll “just know” When You Meet The Right Person…that’s what they try and tell you. “You lock eyes, as you glance across the room at each other. And all of a sudden, somehow, you just know.” The worst relationship advice I’ve ever heard comes from the people who tell you you’ll just know when you meet the person you’re going to marry. It’s a cookie cutter formula that can’t — and shouldn’t — be applied to all relationships. It’s caused a lot of confusion along the way, and caused many people to pass up very good relationships because they were expecting some sort of an intense feeling or instant knowledge when the right person came along. You’ll Just Know? In today’s episode I share my personal experience with this bad relationship advice (because I TOTALLY DID NOT JUST KNOW!!!) and then I offer a counter perspective to help you navigate this important area of your life, because there ARE some important things to look for in looking for love…but it doesn’t just happen at first glance.
