The first pillar of transformation, of self love, of changing anything is awareness. And you've got to be aware of what you're actually doing now. Heavily impacts who you become in the world, just like not having it. My father was more transactional, get good grades and I'll give you 20 bucks; he didn't have emotional support to give because he had the emotional IQ of a sneaker. But I feel like I had really two different experiences, but that came together and that shaped who I became in life.
Are you a generous giver in relationships?
Do you give from your heart? From a place of love?
Or are you a little more tit-for-tat, where you expect something specific in return for giving?
If you answered yes to any of these, or you recognize these patterns in your relationship, this episode is for you. I break down the difference between relational unions (more heart-centered) and transactional unions (more quid pro quo).
I also give you steps to become more balanced between the two, because you do not want the pendulum to swing too far in either direction.
