EP 76: You are Your Number One Priority: Busting a Common Relationship Myth

“Now that I’m single, I’m just gonna focus on me and doing what I want to do…”   I always sigh when I hear this…   WHY you ask?    Because: you are your number one priority whether you are single or in a relationship    Your ability to show up in a relationship depends on how well you have taken care of yourself   When you take care of yourself, you take care of the relationship    That is why your relationship status does not change your self-care!    When you enter into a relationship-instead of losing yourself, make sure you continue to honor your needs.    Honor the things that fill up your gas tank; it’s the only way you can have healthy relationships that don’t lead to resentment   Check-out today’s podcast episode for the inside scoop on:  -Why you should always be your number one priority  -How to honor your needs while in a relationship  -The truth about what happens if you don’t do this    Send me a DM on Instagram if you agree that YOU are your number one priority single or in a relationship!
