Apple Podcast buttonGoogle Podcast button 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. You will also want to check out Annie’s blog post “Should I stay or Should I Go?” 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. Here are two tweetable quotes from Annie. Just cut and paste on FB or Twitter.

    Hi, Annie im so happy you have met such a positive person to have a relationship with. I have a problem (?) where i think i may attracted to my opposite on so many levels. I guess its normal if you identify as feminine and are attracted to a man who also takes on more masculine and opposite traits. What happens when at your best as a couple its more a sense you feel on a dynamic spiritual biological level where u feel u have met your human mate but when it gets resentful the dynamic and the words gets so ugly.

      hi Emily, I’m sorry I don’t completely understand your question (and it sounds like its to our guest, Annie Lalla). I think it may be best to reach out to her directly, if you haven’t already, to pose your question. Keep us posted on what she says, thank you and take care, and best to you and your human =) -Meg
