IN THIS EPISODE, You will learn:

To see your partner as a sacred mirror and sanctuary for the growing your greatest actualized self
The true characteristics of a long-term partnership
How your partnership is the optimal container for complete transformation of yourself into the highest possible version imaginable
How to fall in love and why this is more important than being married
How to take radical responsibility for being loved in every moment of your life
How to actually get your needs/wants met in a partnership
How to know if conflict in your relationship is driving you toward or away from more magnificence

There’s a ton in this episode so dive in and go slow.

And, Here’s a great question from Annie to ask yourself if you are trying to decide to stay or leave:

Is the person I’m being called to become by what my partner’s asking me to become (if you take on the growth-development framework), will you become a more extraordinary version of yourself? If who they are asking you to become is a constricted, small, tight version of you, then this is probably not the person you want to be with.

However, if you identify as the smaller version of you, then, you are going to hear your partner’s feedback as criticism and blame and might make them wrong in the process. So, pay attention to these finer points.
