Episode notes

I think at this point in my life, like, I definitely do feel the pressure. Some of that's self put because coming from like the financial mindset that I come from is if you're not making money, then you're poor. And so I'm still working through that. Like when we moved back to Atlanta, I had a panic attack. My very first panic attack literally blacked out in our living room floor because we were moving to Atlanta because of me.Like he rallied behind me and we picked up and left the place that he wanted to live in for me. So yes, I felt a pressure to like stay in a situation that was making me depressed and sad.

Let’s talk about submission! My fav definition of this comes from Hafeez who simply said to submit is to sub (be underneath) another person’s mission. Now, one of the main purposes of romantic relationships is to be stronger together - a concept we’ve gone into before when we discussed self expansion theory on episode 4 featuring Jeannie Mai. The Self expansion theory states that the best way to expand, together, is to take stock of each other’s strengths, then create a dynamic that aligns with that reality.

But what happens when in the end of this audit, you realize that your strengths fall outside of traditional gender roles? And furthermore you realize that the man’s strengths are perfectly suited to aid in the woman’s success? How does it work and furthermore CAN it work when a man realizes his partner’s potential and then makes her mission, his main mission? That’s what we are going to be talking about on this episode featuring Jade Novah and Devin Johnson.
