  • Your personal and spiritual growth journey: navigating relationships and you.

    There is a lot to say about starting your inward journey but at times, it means shedding old versions of yourself and with that can come some relationship breakdowns - familial, platonic or romantic - as you step into your power and connect with your true self.

    In this episode, it's more of a casual chat about my journey and accepting the loss of people in your life but how your journey can also create space for existing relationships and new relationships to become that bit more meaningful and connected on a deeper level, even if it is only you doing "the work" at times.

  • What you fail to accept, you will project.

    Doing "the work" will be key to having healthy relationships, including having a healthy relationship with yourself but it will also be key to ensuring that you don't project onto others your own inner struggles. 

    Accepting what is, is the first step in your healing journey.

  • Fantasy will ruin your relationships.

    We all remember watching Disney movies or rom coms and perhaps at one stage, imagining your perfect relationship or fairytale come true as a result but fantasy will ruin your relationships, and even your life.

    Whats more is the need for love can sometimes mean that you'll fantasise about your ideal man (or woman). And you'll forget to look beyond the fantasy, the physical attraction or the butterflies to see if the person that you are dating or in a relationship with is actually compatible with you. What's worse? You might even choose to ignore the red flags because you are so caught up in someone's potential and so caught up in your fantasy world that doesn't really exist in reality.

  • S2. Self Responsibility

    Are you someone who blames other's for the way you are in life? Do you blame your moods on other people? Do you blame other's for your performance, or lack of, in a match, work, or exam perhaps? Do you avoid taking responsibility in your life because it's easier to do than to hold your hands up and say "this is actually my fault, these are the choices I have made and I need to live with them"? 

    Maybe you're someone who has been blamed for other people's actions, moods or ways of being? Maybe you're someone who accepts blame for things that are actually not your fault but you've lost your voice and have forgotten how to stand up for what you believe in? Maybe you're someone who is living in fear and that's why you accept blame because it's easier than choosing to challenge someone and speak up?

    Whatever it is for you, this is an episode that everyone needs to hear!
