We may feel scared to commit our life to one person...
In this episode Sophia and special guest Jake share what came up in their failed engagements, how they navigated the separations, and what they are doing differently in relationships now.
The pain you have felt does not need to limit you or define you! In many cases, the greater the pain, the more meaningful and transformative it can be to rise beyond. Pain is a sign that you really care about something or someone and really want to do it justice. If past relational dynamics or pain holds you back, it's a good thing because problems always have solutions. This kind of problem is a perfect opportunity to learn, grow, increase awareness and grow into your best identity.
Listen in for some gold advice, insights, and perspectives. It's time to rise up!
