How to be a “Better” Partner in a Relationship with Laura

What do the law of attraction have in common with Christianity? You’ve probably run into the law of attraction idea of “attracting” circumstances, events, and people into your life based on your beliefs or “vibration” or whatever. Even if what you’re consuming isn’t specifically about the law, it can’t help but pervade personal growth spaces the same way Judeo-Christian standards pervade society even if you don’t identify as Christian. And this plays a part in a big misconception about inner child work (or personal growth, in general)-- the idea that doing it makes you invincible to problems. If trouble arises in your relationship, for example, then it’s because you didn’t do enough healing and still need to work on yourself. But there’s only so much work that inner work can do. And this brings me to today’s coaching call on the Love Life Connection podcast. Laura doesn’t like who she’s been attracting in relationships. So she wanted to know how she can be better as a partner without sacrificing too much of herself. But is she the problem, or is something else going on? In this episode, you’ll learn how to know where you need to grow or heal yourself and when it’s time to just kick the other person to the curb. I’ll also talk about why Laura’s question is such a loaded one and how you can start a relationship off on the right foot. 7:35 - The root of what’s really behind Laura’s dilemma 14:06 - How Laura’s difficulty with boundaries ties back to her parents’ relationship 22:27 - Why you should look at boundary setting from a win-win perspective 25:20 - Where Laura should focus her attention more (instead of on who she’s attracting) 34:09 - Wrapping up with a recap of the call with Laura 37:00 - How you can start a relationship off right from the beginning 41:42 - The power of inner child work to make boundary-setting easier I hope you enjoyed this episode!
