Were you raised in a family with silent agreements?  Were there topics you knew you could not discuss with your parental impactors?  Did big fights or upsetting events happen only for everyone to wake up the following day and pretend they didn’t?  Or do you have unexpressed expectations for your partner, family, or friends and feel disappointed when they fail to meet them?  Silent agreements or expectations are often dysfunctional, which is why, in this episode, I am breaking down the dangers of this behavior and where it comes from. I am also giving you questions to understand where you have silent agreements in your life so you can move to expressed or clean agreements.

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.
