Episode notes

Relationship patterns from childhood do not seal our fate. Articles addressing how we are predisposed to certain attributes due to our upbringing are meant to inform us, not limit us. These articles provide insights on the origins of our tendencies and offer tools to overcome them. They do not dictate our destiny and should not be used as validation for feeling stuck in our circumstances. We have the power to change our blueprint and overcome these patterns in more ways than we might think.
