Joyful-Souls with Tracey Benson

Why We Need To Be In Reciprocal Relationships


Listen Later

In today’s show, I’m going to be discussing the topic of connection and how it plays a role within our friendships and intimate relationships. 


We quite often find ourselves placed in relationships that aren’t serving us for a multitude of reasons. Many underlying factors to choosing to stay with those people are lack of self-belief or knowledge that our needs are important and it’s vital that we learn how to prioritize our own self-worth. Choosing who we devote our energy to determines so much of what our circle of friends is going to look like, so we must make compassionate decisions in who we surround ourselves with.  


I also touch on what I’ve learned from previous friendships that weren’t always reciprocal, why those around us may not always be open to receiving our time and efforts, and why having a connection with ourselves is so essential.
