If you’ve ever had the thought “relationships shouldn’t be this hard” it might be because you’ve got yourself in a transactional relationship. It functions well and the two of you transact, but it’s empty.

In this solo episode, I discuss 3 reasons why people end up in transactional relationships and 3 ways to shift out of a transactional way of relating.

You’ll hear about fear, internal beliefs on relationships and the trance of busyness. These 3 keep you stuck in functional transactions and hollow ways of relating.

You’ll also hear about the importance of good communication, mindful awareness and the recognition that relationships change. You can create a better relationship.
