0
SPEAKER_01

0
SPEAKER_01
Now, let s jump into this episode.
0
SPEAKER_00
A lot of people s mentality is, well, things change.
0
SPEAKER_00
Things are going to be different.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s okay.
0
SPEAKER_00
So what?
0
SPEAKER_00
You don t go out as much anymore.
0
SPEAKER_00
People think like this, but they don t realize that s why your relationship is deteriorating.
0
SPEAKER_00
we can t just think it s okay especially with our partners to speak however we want, to throw all kinds of insults, to be disrespectful and think this is okay.
0
SPEAKER_00
Because what people are not realizing is... Welcome to the school of greatness.
0
SPEAKER_02
My name is Lewis Howes, a former pro athlete turned lifestyle entrepreneur.

0
SPEAKER_02
We brought some of the top experts in the world to help you unlock the power of your life through this specific theme today.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s going to be powerful, so let s go ahead and dive in.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t want a deteriorated relationship.
0
SPEAKER_00
So, when I think about yes, can I be with someone past 10, 15 years if I accept a level of mediocrity?
0
SPEAKER_00
Of course, but... You don t want that.
0
SPEAKER_00
Exactly, I m saying can we maintain excellence after these 10, 15 years?
0
SPEAKER_00
Fulfillment, fun, pleasure.
0
SPEAKER_00
Exactly, peace, happiness, joy, all these things.
0
SPEAKER_00
Because to me what is the point of being here if we don t have it, if we re not operating at our highest level?
0
SPEAKER_02
What about, what about the
0
SPEAKER_02
Saying that I hear whether this is a meme or this is women saying this online Maybe you know the line better than me If he can t accept me at my worst, he doesn t deserve me at my best.
0
SPEAKER_02
I hate that line
0
SPEAKER_00
I absolutely hate it.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I hate it because it has turned into validation for not addressing your flaws and issues, all right.
0
SPEAKER_00
I agree with it from the standpoint of you ve got to be able to handle your partner s worst moments, all right.
0
SPEAKER_00
Because we re going to all have moments, we re going to all fall, we re all going to make a mistake, it s going to happen.
0
SPEAKER_00
Over time that s just the way it is.
0
SPEAKER_00
But when you are essentially trying to say I have a horrible flaw and you should accept it even when I want to consistently make you deal with it.
0
SPEAKER_00
No, that s not going to work for me.
0
SPEAKER_00
I can t accept that, that s not okay.
0
SPEAKER_00
And so, a lot of people that s what they re turning it into.
0
SPEAKER_02
That s you not taking accountability and responsibility for growth.
0
SPEAKER_02
It s going back to okay, this is where I m at I don t want to address it.
0
SPEAKER_02
you just have to accept it and or don t be with me.
0
SPEAKER_00
Exactly, you know it reminds me of like once upon... I don t know if they still say it but I know at one time people would say arguing is healthy for a relationship, all right.
0
SPEAKER_00
I despise that.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t know if I agree.
0
SPEAKER_00
I understand that yeah, I just don t like that.
0
SPEAKER_02
No, at all.
0
SPEAKER_02
Can you communicate with... We don t agree on this but do you have to argue?
0
SPEAKER_00
Exactly, that s my thing.
0
SPEAKER_00
Disagreement is acceptable, disrespect is not, all right.
0
SPEAKER_00
So... Say it one more time.
0
SPEAKER_00
Disagreement is acceptable, disrespect is not, all right.
0
SPEAKER_00
So, my thing is yes, it s okay and even healthy to have disagreements because we have different perspectives, we can bounce ideas off each other, we simply have to know how to navigate that and come to an official decision on things when we have those moments.
0
SPEAKER_00
But arguing, arguing says we are being disrespectful.
0
SPEAKER_00
Whether our tone is negative, the words that we re using you know, we re getting loud, we re getting angry, we re basically throwing negative energy at our partner.
0
SPEAKER_00
That s not healthy, there s nothing healthy about that.
0
SPEAKER_00
But a lot of people will say that because they want to validate the unhealthiness in their relationship.
0
SPEAKER_00
They don t want to face the issue of I need to learn how to talk to my partner better.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t want to have to fix my tone.
0
SPEAKER_00
Why do I have to watch what I say?
0
SPEAKER_00
Because that s what an adult does.
0
SPEAKER_00
Wow.
0
SPEAKER_00
All right, grow up you know.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like, I m sorry to anyone listening to this but that s just real.
0
SPEAKER_00
We can t just think it s okay especially with our partners to speak however we want, to throw all kinds of insults, to be disrespectful and think this is okay.
0
SPEAKER_00
Because what people are not realizing is
0
SPEAKER_00
All it takes is that one really bad argument to plant a seed of negativity that now grows into something worse in the relationship.
0
SPEAKER_00
A lot of people s issues are not the issue that they re facing in that current moment.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s the culmination of all kinds of things before then.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s the build up from that last time you disrespected me or made me feel some kind of way and ever since then I ve resented you.
0
SPEAKER_00
And now in this resentment I ve given you an attitude.
0
SPEAKER_00
You didn t know what the attitude was about because I didn t communicate clearly.
0
SPEAKER_00
Now, you re giving me attitude and now you see how it turns into other things.
0
SPEAKER_00
Now, that attitude turns into not having sex with each other.
0
SPEAKER_00
that attitude turns into okay, the way that we talk to each other in general.
0
SPEAKER_00
Maybe becoming secretive because now we don t feel like dealing with each other anymore.
0
SPEAKER_00
And what you don t realize is it started from disrespectful arguing, all right.
0
SPEAKER_00
It can also start from some other stuff.
0
SPEAKER_00
All right, but arguing is a huge problem for a lot of people and we can t just keep swimming under the rug.
0
SPEAKER_00
So, going back to your point about the whole take me at my worst.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yes, worst moment.
0
SPEAKER_00
You can have a moment.
0
SPEAKER_00
Not always like this and once in a while a good attitude.
0
SPEAKER_00
Exactly, consistent negative behavior has to be addressed and corrected.
0
SPEAKER_02
So arguments are disrespect, but disagreements is okay.
0
SPEAKER_02
Is that what you said?
0
SPEAKER_00
Disagreement is acceptable.
0
SPEAKER_00
Disrespect is not.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yes.
0
SPEAKER_02
So you can always disagree and you can agree to not agree.
0
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_02
Or you can agree to disagree.
0
SPEAKER_02
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_00
Agree to disagree.
0
SPEAKER_02
But what I m hearing you say is that arguing, saying what s on your mind in an angry, aggressive way, tearing down a partner is never going to do anything good for someone.
0
SPEAKER_00
Exactly, people have to understand whenever someone feels attacked they will defend themselves.
0
SPEAKER_00
even if they know they re wrong, even if the point you re making is actually solid.
0
SPEAKER_00
The way you re coming at them negates their ability to receive it.
0
SPEAKER_00
That s why even me as a speaker my focus has been do I want to be heard or do I want people to receive my message, all right.
0
SPEAKER_00
If I want to be heard I can speak however I want, I can be blatant with the insults, I can cut people down, I can just make jokes of everybody s situation because it s just entertainment I just want to be heard.
0
SPEAKER_00
But no, I want people to receive it.
0
SPEAKER_00
And if I want people to receive it I have to be more considerate, more compassionate.
0
SPEAKER_00
I have to check my tone, I have to be careful with my words.
0
SPEAKER_00
And that s why if people watch my videos they ll see I try to be very careful with my words because I want you to receive what I m saying.
0
SPEAKER_00
So, if we re in a relationship we have to take that approach.
0
SPEAKER_00
If you want them to hear you be mindful of how you re talking to them.
0
SPEAKER_00
Why is this so hard for people?
0
SPEAKER_00
Because again, they don t want to face the... Or they don t want to do the work of correction, all right.
0
SPEAKER_00
And the work of correction can entail the healing and again, facing those issues.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s also conditioning.
0
SPEAKER_00
If people have been brought up in households and environments where this is how they talk to each other,
0
SPEAKER_00
It s very... Yeah, it s foreign to now speak in a more loving and positive way.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s foreign to sit and be quiet and listen, all right.
0
SPEAKER_00
So, now they have to reprogram themselves and that s a lot of work.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I think also the acceptance of the way you re communicating is wrong.
0
SPEAKER_00
People don t like to face that they were wrong.
0
SPEAKER_00
they don t want to have to accept that.
0
SPEAKER_00
So, it s no, I have to dig an even deeper hole and stick with this whole negative approach of how I do things because no, there s nothing wrong with this.
0
SPEAKER_00
Or I see other people do it, you know, they re fine.
0
SPEAKER_00
No, they re not fine, they re not okay, you know.
0
SPEAKER_00
So, I think those reasons are just overall they don t want to have to do the work and so, they rather make excuses for it.
0
SPEAKER_02
So, it sounds like again, we go back to step one, healing.
0
SPEAKER_02
If you can learn to heal
0
SPEAKER_02
You can start to improve the quality of your choices, dating someone in a relationship or getting out quicker.
0
SPEAKER_02
You can be a more effective communicator in relationships, whether you re dating or in a long-term community relationship.
0
SPEAKER_02
You can have a better relationship overall with yourself when you heal and with someone else.
0
SPEAKER_02
So can you give me a breakdown, a boot camp 101 on
1
SPEAKER_00
how to recognize what you need to heal and then how to start healing that.
1
SPEAKER_00
What does that look like for someone?
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay, I need to heal Stefan.
1
SPEAKER_00
What do you mean by that?
1
SPEAKER_00
How do I do it?
1
SPEAKER_00
How do I get started?
1
SPEAKER_00
How long does it take to get healed?
1
SPEAKER_00
Is this a lifelong journey?
1
SPEAKER_00
Is this overnight?
1
SPEAKER_00
What does it look like?
1
SPEAKER_01
All right, so first thing, how long does it take to heal?
1
SPEAKER_01
is going to take as long as you re willing to put into work.
1
SPEAKER_01
Healing is not a time thing, it s a work thing.
1
SPEAKER_01
So, when you hear people say time heals all wounds, no, it doesn t.
1
SPEAKER_01
Time alone doesn t heal a damn thing, all right.
1
SPEAKER_01
It can help, it does aid in the process, but by itself it is no good.
1
SPEAKER_01
You have to take certain steps.
1
SPEAKER_01
So, when people think well, I m going to take a year off from relationships to heal.
1
SPEAKER_01
Why a year?
1
SPEAKER_01
And if you re not doing the work in that year, that year means nothing.
1
SPEAKER_01
And that s what happens to a lot of people.
1
SPEAKER_01
They took a year off but what they did was they hid from the world, they hid from relationships.
1
SPEAKER_01
They went in their corner, all right, and distracted themselves but they never healed.
1
SPEAKER_01
Now, they come back out of that year and they re still the same person.
1
SPEAKER_00
Or maybe they re not the same, maybe the first few months of dating they re a little different but then they fall back into it.
1
SPEAKER_01
Exactly, because they never resolve things at its core.
1
SPEAKER_01
Now, in terms of recognizing what to heal, my first step is called the who hurt me list, all right.
1
SPEAKER_01
So, you get a piece of paper, you write down on the piece of paper who hurt me.
1
SPEAKER_01
And now, every person who comes to mind you write them down on the piece of paper.
1
SPEAKER_01
It doesn t matter how long ago it happened, doesn t matter if you think you moved past it, if you think it s not relevant.
1
SPEAKER_01
If they come to mind then there s some level of relevance there.
1
SPEAKER_01
Put them on the paper in about a sentence or two of what they did to hurt you, all right.
1
SPEAKER_01
this is how we re going to start to locate what you ve been holding on to.
1
SPEAKER_01
But you really got to go into this exercise very genuine.
1
SPEAKER_01
You can t be trying to control the narrative.
1
SPEAKER_01
You just got to let yourself feel.
1
SPEAKER_01
Just ask yourself the question, close your eyes, let it come out.
1
SPEAKER_00
What s the question I should ask?
1
SPEAKER_00
Who hurt me?
1
SPEAKER_01
That s it, who hurt me?
1
SPEAKER_01
That s it.
1
SPEAKER_00
And what if they re like, ah, I can only think of like three people that really hurt me.
1
SPEAKER_00
Should they be thinking of like every instant they can think of from childhood of that one comment or should this be this person who punched me in the face?
1
SPEAKER_01
Anybody who comes to mind.
1
SPEAKER_01
So, I don t want them to force it but I don t want them to undermine it in any kind of way either.
1
SPEAKER_01
Just whoever comes to mind put them on the paper.
1
SPEAKER_01
Because even if there s a situation where you forgot somebody
1
SPEAKER_01
If we tackle the big ones, you re not going to be able to escape the big ones.
1
SPEAKER_01
The big ones are going to come out, they re going to come to mind.
1
SPEAKER_01
If we can tackle those then that might set the stage where everything else gets taken care of naturally, all right.
1
SPEAKER_01
Because now your awareness is going to be there and your level of healing will allow you to see things differently.
1
SPEAKER_00
What do you think is the best way for a driven, confident, alpha, masculine man?
1
SPEAKER_00
Healthy, conscious, masculine man.
1
SPEAKER_00
to eliminate distractions or temptations when they re in a committed intimate long-term relationship from wanting to think about other women or scroll on Instagram and dream about what that could be like and be tempted to say, I need more partners.
1
SPEAKER_01
you have to cut off everything that feeds the struggle.
1
SPEAKER_01
So, if you know looking at Instagram puts you in that place you can t be on Instagram.
1
SPEAKER_01
Now, I know that s easier said than done depending on a person s profession and all these different things but literally you have to cut off all influences that push you on that path.
1
SPEAKER_01
Because it could be Instagram, it could be the music you re listening to, it could be the TV that you re watching depending on what you re watching.
1
SPEAKER_01
And I know it s tough because you get to a point where it s like well,
1
SPEAKER_01
I got cut off everything almost.
1
SPEAKER_01
But yeah, yeah, the more you can remove these outside influences the easier it is for you to be present with your partner.
1
SPEAKER_01
I remember one time there was a guy his wife had got pregnant.
1
SPEAKER_01
I don t know if they were married at that time either way, his partner was pregnant she put on some weight he found himself left as attracted to her.
1
SPEAKER_01
They weren t having sex as much.
1
SPEAKER_01
he went to get some help they suggested stop looking at porn, stop looking at Instagram.
1
SPEAKER_01
He stopped for three weeks he looked at pretty much no other woman unless he passed a woman in the street.
1
SPEAKER_01
He said after three weeks he found himself more attracted to his partner even without the weight loss.
1
SPEAKER_01
Now, it doesn t mean he still didn t want her to lose weight because sustaining that it was still going to make some adjustments but
1
SPEAKER_01
it did help.
1
SPEAKER_01
Interesting.
1
SPEAKER_01
Because he didn t have these other influences constantly being put in his face that makes him question, okay...
1
SPEAKER_01
what s going on here?
1
SPEAKER_01
Like, I don t like this or you know, hey, I could have this too or you know.
1
SPEAKER_01
What that would be like.
1
SPEAKER_01
Exactly, so it s just we ve got to know our weaknesses and where we fall short and just cut it off at the root as best as possible.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think it goes back to also communicating your needs you know, your agreements, your roles, responsibilities in the relationship and making sure your needs are met as a man.
1
SPEAKER_00
If your needs are not met and it opens the door, you re like, okay, if I can t get it here, then I wonder what that would be like, or this would be like.
1
SPEAKER_00
That s why I think it s really important to have these real honest conversations before you get committed about what your needs are.
1
SPEAKER_00
Absolutely.
1
SPEAKER_00
Maybe there s a man that s like, I only need to have sex a couple of times a month and I m happy.
1
SPEAKER_00
For me, that doesn t work.
1
SPEAKER_00
Maybe in 20 years it changes.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
1
SPEAKER_00
You ve got to be realistic and say, I ve had conversations with Martha where I m just like, this is what I m going to need.
1
SPEAKER_00
This is what I m going to need.
1
SPEAKER_00
Are you able to provide this?
1
SPEAKER_00
If not, I don t want to push you on something that you don t want to do.
1
SPEAKER_00
And same for you.
1
SPEAKER_00
What are your needs and can I provide those for you?
1
SPEAKER_00
Absolutely.
1
SPEAKER_00
And if I can t provide for your needs, you shouldn t be with me.
1
SPEAKER_00
We shouldn t be together if it doesn t naturally align.
1
SPEAKER_00
We should be naturally aligning.
1
SPEAKER_00
You have to change three things about you in order to please me and I have to change everything to please you.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t think that s the right match.
1
SPEAKER_00
No, it s not.
1
SPEAKER_00
There might be sexual attraction, you maybe have fun, you could be friends, whatever.
1
SPEAKER_00
But I m talking healthy long-term commitment.
1
SPEAKER_00
with the least amount of pain.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know what I mean?
1
SPEAKER_00
There s going to be challenge.
1
SPEAKER_00
There s going to be adversity and pain that causes by living life.
1
SPEAKER_00
But if you can minimize stress and anxiety within the relationship, I think that s the best approach.
1
SPEAKER_00
And talking about needs is key up front.
1
SPEAKER_00
So I m hearing you say men need to eliminate any temptation or distractions that might get them thinking about another option.
1
SPEAKER_01
And I do agree with you 100% as the next thing would be making sure we lay out those needs and desires and make sure they re being met on both sides.
1
SPEAKER_01
Because I m a firm believer you can t expect this person to meet all your requirements if you re not going to do the same for them.
1
SPEAKER_01
But I do think that there s a lot of men who
1
SPEAKER_01
they don t take it as far as they need to as far as expressing what is it exactly you want from this woman to be happy.
1
SPEAKER_00
Even the weird crazy sexual like nuances like you got to go there.
1
SPEAKER_00
Even if it s uncomfortable you feel like man this is they re going to judge me or they re going to think this is weird.
1
SPEAKER_00
But if you don t get that you re going to resent it in a year, two years, six months, right.
1
SPEAKER_00
And you ll be thinking about where can I get this met.
1
SPEAKER_01
And that s the key.
1
SPEAKER_01
If you can honestly say if I don t get this I m good.
1
SPEAKER_01
Like, I would like this but it s not a big deal to me I can go without it, cool.
1
SPEAKER_01
But if you know going without this is going to disturb you and be a huge struggle for you yeah, you re asking for problems.
1
SPEAKER_00
Why do you think it s so hard for men to only be with one woman?
1
SPEAKER_00
Or why do you think that s the struggle for men when they think about it?
1
SPEAKER_00
Like, can I only be with one woman for the rest of my life?
1
SPEAKER_00
And they re like, well, if I could just have like a threesome once a year, like it would all be, and we hear these conversations, but why is it challenging?
1
SPEAKER_00
And from the men that you ve met who are extremely sexually satisfied with their one intimate partner for decades, what is it they re doing differently or how have they shifted that thinking that they need more women?
1
SPEAKER_01
So, here s my current theories and beliefs that I m not going to lie to you I still struggle with in some points.
1
SPEAKER_01
Not because I don t believe what I m about to say but because if true it s a hard pill to swallow.
1
SPEAKER_01
So,
1
SPEAKER_01
I m of belief that the majority of men can actually be happy with one woman, no problem.
1
SPEAKER_01
I view it in the same way I view business, all right.
1
SPEAKER_01
There s the bosses and the workers and neither label is a negative to either side, okay.
1
SPEAKER_01
It s just a reality that
1
SPEAKER_01
there are men who they don t need a bunch, they don t need a lot in their life.
1
SPEAKER_01
If they re making a certain salary they have a roof over their head, food on their table, needs are being met, they re good.
1
SPEAKER_01
They don t have this extra gear of ambition that says go out and do more.
1
SPEAKER_01
That kind of guy can have his one woman again, key is needs are being met.
1
SPEAKER_01
In the relationship.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yes, in a relationship I think he s fine.
1
SPEAKER_01
He can do that for the rest of his life no problem.
1
SPEAKER_01
Live a happy fulfilled life.
1
SPEAKER_01
Yes.
1
SPEAKER_01
And understand because that man doesn t even have the desire in him or the energy to go out there trying to mingle with other women and all that kind of stuff.
2
SPEAKER_00
Exactly, yes, it takes a certain kind of mindset and energy to be able to do that.
2
SPEAKER_00
A lot of guys aren t like that they just want to be happy and have their needs met and that s it.
2
SPEAKER_00
But then there s the smaller percentage of men which we could argue are the more desirable men of society who tend to be more ambitious men.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, I remember reading somewhere if I m correct people like Einstein, Steve Jobs all these geniuses high sexual energy.
2
SPEAKER_00
There seems to be this connection, this correlation between these ambitious men, these very unique individuals that do big things in life and them having this very high sexual energy.
2
SPEAKER_00
And again, they probably had to learn to transmute some of that to accomplish what they accomplished.
2
SPEAKER_00
Where these types of men
2
SPEAKER_00
there s a greater struggle now to just be limited to that one woman.
2
SPEAKER_00
Because it s the same thing that they struggle with being limited to one invention or one business, you know what I m saying?
2
SPEAKER_00
They just have this mind and this desire for more I got to keep going, I got to keep going.
2
SPEAKER_00
And so, I think that guy is the guy that
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t know if it s maybe his testosterone is higher than normal, I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t know what is it in the man that causes that.
2
SPEAKER_00
But I do believe that every highly ambitious successful man I know the vast majority... So, let me not say every, but the vast majority of them have that struggle or don t even believe in monogamy period, all right.
2
SPEAKER_00
Okay, finish what you re saying.
2
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, so and I will say some of the ones who have like
2
SPEAKER_00
I feel for me personally the thing that helps me is my relationship with God.
2
SPEAKER_00
If I take that away I m not going to lie to you, I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_00
You re a dog, you re a dog.
2
SPEAKER_00
Without God you re a dog.
2
SPEAKER_00
And let me just be clear, not dog as in I would never be a liar, I d never be playing women, taking advantage of none of that.
2
SPEAKER_00
But would I be all over the place?
2
SPEAKER_00
Potentially.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yeah.
2
SPEAKER_01
Devon Franklin talks about this in one of his books about there s a dog in every man, right.
2
SPEAKER_01
Again, not like a...
2
SPEAKER_01
a mean dog, but like a dog that has like a desire to go get another bone out there.
2
SPEAKER_01
And it s learning how to fight the dog within you that has that desire, right?
2
SPEAKER_01
What happens, have you ever met a man who s been in a marriage, let s say, or a long-term
2
SPEAKER_01
relationship with one person as a constant but has other sexual encounters with other women and the relationship works long term with that one person still.
2
SPEAKER_01
open relationship or hall passes that are aware of this, the partner is aware of this where you still have this really happy intimate connected partnership between the man and the main partner.
2
SPEAKER_01
Have you met anyone like this?
2
SPEAKER_01
No, honestly.
2
SPEAKER_01
What typically happens when a man is with someone but also is with other people?
2
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, so, I think one we have to make sure we define what work means.
2
SPEAKER_00
So, to some people it s working because they re still together.
2
SPEAKER_00
I mean happy, healthy.
2
SPEAKER_00
Exactly, that s the key.
2
SPEAKER_00
So, for that to be the standard of what we call it s working, no.
2
SPEAKER_00
You haven t seen that?
2
SPEAKER_00
I haven t seen it.
2
SPEAKER_00
You know, I can never say it doesn t exist 100% but what I think is what I believe strongly is that
2
SPEAKER_00
The woman accepting that is already kind of killing off a piece of herself.
2
SPEAKER_00
That piece that wants to be number one in his life, that wants to be fully loved, to feel like he doesn t need anyone else but me.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I argue that kind of going back to masculine and feminine to show you another difference between men.
2
SPEAKER_00
Women need love at a level or in a way that men don t.
2
SPEAKER_00
Meaning that if you went to a woman and you said or you went to a man and you said I will give you this woman, she will give you everything that you need, fulfill all your desires, but she cannot say she s in love with you.
2
SPEAKER_00
will you take it?
2
SPEAKER_00
There s a majority of men who will take it.
2
SPEAKER_00
Because hey, I m getting my knees, man.
2
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, who cares, right?
2
SPEAKER_00
If you go to a woman with the same deal he will fulfill all your needs, he ll be everything that you want, but he cannot say he is in love with you.
2
SPEAKER_00
There s a lot of women who can t take that deal.
2
SPEAKER_00
Really?
2
SPEAKER_00
Yes.
2
SPEAKER_00
Why is that?
2
SPEAKER_00
Because again, they need that aspect of love, that energy that it takes things to a different level that speaks to who they are.
2
SPEAKER_00
I believe that speaks to the feminine in the woman.
2
SPEAKER_00
The feminine in the woman craves that love.
2
SPEAKER_00
We are more in... You can call it the more logical mind or whatever you want to call it.
2
SPEAKER_00
we just want... As long as we re getting what we need it s easier for us... Yes, we feel respected and we re being satisfied.
2
SPEAKER_01
A lot of guys are like I m not passing that up.
2
SPEAKER_01
What would you say are the three most important things that every man needs from their partner?
2
SPEAKER_01
Is it respect?
2
SPEAKER_00
So, support, respect, and I still got to use sexual satisfaction.
2
SPEAKER_01
Sexual satisfaction, support, sexual satisfaction, and respect are the three things that most men need in a relationship for them to feel happy and fulfilled.
2
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, because if you take away any of those three it s a problem.
2
SPEAKER_00
If he doesn t feel respected it s going to cause huge problems.
2
SPEAKER_00
He doesn t feel supported a lot of people don t realize a lot of infidelity does not start from that man having a sexual desire for another woman.
2
SPEAKER_00
It can start from a lack of support in the household and then you have other women coming around who are you know feeding his head with you, I think you re amazing.
2
SPEAKER_00
If you were my man I would do this and blah, blah, blah, I believe in you.
2
SPEAKER_00
He doesn t get that at home
2
SPEAKER_00
and that opens the door to it becoming sexual.
2
SPEAKER_00
Which is why you ll see a lot of situations where the man cheats on his partner with a woman who doesn t even look as good as his partner.
2
SPEAKER_00
But it s fulfilling some sexual need.
2
SPEAKER_00
Not even a sexual need, it fulfilled first the emotional need.
2
SPEAKER_00
And then yes, and it could be just sexual depending on what the initial issue was.
2
SPEAKER_00
But yes, it can either be sexual or emotional but I think people always think it s a sexual thing with men.
2
SPEAKER_01
An emotional need meaning like I m not getting the respect I want so that s an emotional feeling.
2
SPEAKER_01
Or not feeling supported at home so that s an emotional feeling.
2
SPEAKER_01
Yes.
2
SPEAKER_01
So, the three things that every man you believe needs, most men need is respect, support, and sexual... Satisfaction.
2
SPEAKER_01
Satisfaction.
2
SPEAKER_01
What would be the three things that every woman needs from their man to feel fulfilled?
2
SPEAKER_00
I want to say love and I guess when I say the word love I mean it from the standpoint of non-sexual intimacy.
2
SPEAKER_00
Being able to pour into her emotionally, mentally, being able to hold her, caress her, everything other than sex.
2
SPEAKER_00
And again, it s not to say that women don t enjoy sex or don t desire or need sex.
2
SPEAKER_00
But if you just gave them sex and you didn t give them those other things it s going to be a problem.
2
SPEAKER_00
So, I think love, I think security,
2
SPEAKER_00
Again, it goes back to that needing to feel safe, needing to feel comfortable around you, needing to not feel judged around you.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think that s extremely important.
2
SPEAKER_00
Again, you take away a woman s security.
2
SPEAKER_00
I want to give one quick example.
2
SPEAKER_00
I had one client where she was with a guy and while they were in a relationship she never had an orgasm with him, okay.
2
SPEAKER_00
they get married and it s orgasm city.
2
SPEAKER_00
Really?
2
SPEAKER_00
Yes, it just starts flowing out okay, just boom.
2
SPEAKER_00
Now she feels fully safe for... Yes, but then here s what happened.
2
SPEAKER_00
Years in, he was in the military he cheats on her, the orgasm stopped.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I always use that to say listen, nothing changed sexually as far as physically what was happening.
2
SPEAKER_00
But mentally and emotionally she no longer felt safe and secure in this relationship.
2
SPEAKER_00
And that was enough to turn the switch on and off when it came to her sexual satisfaction and her being sexually receptive to him.
2
SPEAKER_00
So, definitely security is the other thing.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I think
2
SPEAKER_00
I m trying to find the right word, right way to phrase this, but I feel like the word that I want to use is stimulation.
2
SPEAKER_00
I feel that women need to be stimulated by their man.
2
SPEAKER_00
Now, that could be mental stimulation, that could just be spontaneous fun in the relationship, just not being boring.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, women can get very bored easily in a relationship.
2
SPEAKER_00
you have to find a way to keep her stimulated.
2
SPEAKER_00
Again, and I don t want men to hear that and think I m constantly doing... No, but there has to be enough in your bag that you can pull out when necessary or that certain things you possess naturally that keep her in that place.
2
SPEAKER_00
Because once she gets too bored that opens the doors to problems as well.
2
SPEAKER_01
Is it harder for a man
2
SPEAKER_01
to provide these keys for a woman to feel satisfied?
2
SPEAKER_01
Or is it harder for a woman to show up and give what the man needs to be satisfied?
2
SPEAKER_00
So my honest answer, my initial, what I want to say is it s harder for the man.
2
SPEAKER_00
Because men, it s hard, it s in general, it s hard for a driven man
3
SPEAKER_01
masculine man to really take a moment to be non-sexual and intimate in an affectionate, listening, compassionate, generous way and to think about how can I be spontaneous and fun and interesting when I m just focused and driven to go provide and bring back.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_01
It s harder, right?
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah.
3
SPEAKER_00
So basically you can look at it as
3
SPEAKER_00
you ve got to really be able to tap into your feminine side so to speak.
3
SPEAKER_00
As a man.
3
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, as a man to be able to tap into her needs and desires.
3
SPEAKER_00
Whereas she doesn t necessarily have to tap into her masculine side to satisfy us.
3
SPEAKER_00
Other than you could argue maybe when it comes to her approach to sex.
3
SPEAKER_00
if she approached it from a more masculine like I m just ready to go then yeah, a lot of guys would be happy with that.
3
SPEAKER_00
But she can remain in her feminine.
3
SPEAKER_01
And respect you and support you.
3
SPEAKER_00
Exactly.
3
SPEAKER_01
So, it will be easier for her from that standpoint.
3
SPEAKER_01
So, it s really like men need to really learn how to be masters of themselves and become master of flexing both the masculine energy and the feminine energy.
3
SPEAKER_01
to be able to fully pour into their partner, their woman at a high level the way she needs to receive it.
3
SPEAKER_01
Absolutely.
3
SPEAKER_01
And that means you can t just be the big, strong, tough, driven provider.
3
SPEAKER_01
You got to have some sensitive vulnerability within you to be what it sounds like the ultimate masculine man, right?
3
SPEAKER_00
Absolutely, that s definitely... It s all about the balance from within us and we ve got to... We got to get more comfortable with it, we got to get
3
SPEAKER_00
more educated on how we go about it.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know because I want men to understand that though I m encouraging them to tap into their feminine side to be able to provide some of these things.
3
SPEAKER_00
You don t want to lose sight of your masculine and so that s why it s still important.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like, I call it loving in your masculine.
3
SPEAKER_00
All right, you have to learn how to love in your masculine.
3
SPEAKER_00
And that might sound tricky but I do believe it s extremely possible once you grasp the concept and you start to become comfortable with it.
3
SPEAKER_00
Because consider yourself, now you re at a point where you had the confidence to say what you want
3
SPEAKER_00
to lay everything out.
3
SPEAKER_00
You remove the fear of well, if she doesn t like this I m going to lose her.
3
SPEAKER_00
No, you know what it needs to be either you re with it or you re not.
3
SPEAKER_00
So, now that allows you to remain in your masculine while you still can provide for her in the ways that she needs.
3
SPEAKER_00
You see, we slide fully into the feminine when we become this oh my gosh, I have to keep... I got to do everything to get her whatever, whatever.
3
SPEAKER_00
We become emotionally needy.
3
SPEAKER_00
Now, it s like you re trying to do everything she wants but you don t have that balance of standing strong in who you are.
3
SPEAKER_00
And that s really all it takes in my opinion.
3
SPEAKER_01
When someone meets someone new, when is the appropriate amount of time to know that this person could be one of the people that you spend the rest of your life with, a long time with?
3
SPEAKER_00
It s very instant and immediate.
3
SPEAKER_00
Wow.
3
SPEAKER_00
So, here s the thing.
3
SPEAKER_00
Society has brainwashed us to believe that love and identifying it takes time.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s a lie.
3
SPEAKER_00
In most situations when it takes months you have not fallen in love you ve learned to tolerate them, you ve grown attached to them.
3
SPEAKER_01
All right, you ve... You ve enjoyed a part of the process, it s giving you a connection, you re not lonely.
3
SPEAKER_00
Exactly and when you ve invested months, you are more likely to not want to walk away from it because all the time and energy you put in.
3
SPEAKER_00
So, now you mistake your attachment to the investment as love and it s not really love.
3
SPEAKER_00
when you sit down with people who can say they felt a real or they have a real connection with their partner.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think every story, I don t know of any one story that s opposite of this, they will all say it was pretty much instant.
3
SPEAKER_00
First date, you may not know 100% fact I m going to marry this person, but you knew the potential was there.
3
SPEAKER_00
You knew like this could be the one.
3
SPEAKER_00
that at least came to mind.
3
SPEAKER_00
And so again, when we don t have that in that first conversation, that first date, it s unlikely.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m not going to sit there and say it s impossible that it can happen days later or a week later or whatever.
3
SPEAKER_00
But typically, and even if you can t articulate it as you knew they could be the one.
3
SPEAKER_00
When people look back,
3
SPEAKER_00
they can tell you that they felt something very strong in that initial engagement with their partner that said they knew something was different.
3
SPEAKER_00
They may not even know what it was but they knew okay, this isn t normal, this isn t like the rest, something s going on here.
3
SPEAKER_00
And then there s a full realization of this is it.
3
SPEAKER_01
What is that something that we can t understand, that feeling?
3
SPEAKER_01
What is that called?
3
SPEAKER_01
Is that just like your magnets connected to each other?
3
SPEAKER_01
Is that your energy is so attractive because there s so much opposites or it s so much similarities?
3
SPEAKER_01
What is that force that gets people to say, there was something different about this person when I met them?
3
SPEAKER_00
I personally believe it s your spirit recognizing its match.
3
SPEAKER_00
Because if you speak to a lot of people of different religious beliefs, there s a belief that things happen in the spirit before they happen in the physical, all right.
3
SPEAKER_00
So, it s almost like the spirit is ahead of us, which is why the spirit knows the truth, which is why intuition, gut instinct, third eye, whatever you want to call it, it always seems to be accurate because your spirit knows before you know.
3
SPEAKER_00
So, we re feeling it within our spirit the problem is it s getting our mind in tune with the spirit.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s allowing our heart to accept what the spirit is saying to us.
3
SPEAKER_00
But we feel it we just don t know how to always explain it.
3
SPEAKER_00
Those who are very in tune with the spirit can recognize it much quicker and accept it for what it is much quicker because they re very in tune already.
3
SPEAKER_01
Why is it so hard for our mind and our heart to get caught up
3
SPEAKER_01
to our gut or intuition of that initial explosion of chemistry?
3
SPEAKER_01
And also, can that explosion of connection and chemistry be harmful in a different way?
3
SPEAKER_00
Okay, so one, fear.
3
SPEAKER_00
Fear is the number one reason why we struggle to accept.
3
SPEAKER_00
So, one of the things I explain to a lot of women you know and I have my membership group for them.
3
SPEAKER_00
So, I ve had this discussion where
3
SPEAKER_00
I say listen, you know, the difference between intuition and fear is logical deduction.
3
SPEAKER_00
So, when you re trying to analyze and break things down that s your mind, all right.
3
SPEAKER_00
And fear is coming into that because you re saying well, I shouldn t do this because of that or this can t be this because of that.
3
SPEAKER_00
Intuition requires no logic.
3
SPEAKER_00
Your spirit requires no logic.
3
SPEAKER_00
It simply feels, it senses, it knows, that s it.
3
SPEAKER_00
You don t have to explain it.
3
SPEAKER_00
Again, gut instinct doesn t require things to logically add up.
3
SPEAKER_00
It just tells you this is it or something s wrong or this is right or whatever the case may be.
3
SPEAKER_00
So, fear is the number one thing and that fear stems from lack of healing from past relationships.
3
SPEAKER_00
We ve been down this road of emotional investment, we ve gotten hurt before, we ve been wrong in our lives about wanting to believe someone could be it.
3
SPEAKER_00
Even though we know this feels different, we still have the fear of disappointment that creeps back in.
3
SPEAKER_01
How do we let go of that fear and not sabotage an amazing opportunity in a relationship?
3
SPEAKER_00
You got to heal from your past there s no way around it.
3
SPEAKER_00
And this is why I say people who have not healed they can meet their connection right now the most amazing partner and it will scare them to death.
3
SPEAKER_00
and they will either run, self-sabotage, something.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s going to be a problem because they have not healed and when you have not healed the vulnerability that s required in connection is so unlike anything else or with anyone else that if you don t have a level of confidence and again, a foundation of healing in your life it seems way too overwhelming and scary.
3
SPEAKER_00
So, you ve got to heal in order to not
3
SPEAKER_00
find yourself sabotaging, run away, and not being able to embrace that real love.
3
SPEAKER_01
What if both parties come to something and there s this explosion of chemistry or just instant like, wow, there s something different feeling and both have not healed their past, but they stay together.
3
SPEAKER_01
They figure it out and they re together.
3
SPEAKER_01
Is there going to be a lot of problems and trauma and stress that comes up over the years if they both haven t healed before they get into a relationship or can they heal in the relationship together?
3
SPEAKER_00
it is possible... Let me backtrack a little bit.
3
SPEAKER_00
First, let me say that people have to understand there is the such thing as right person wrong time, all right.
3
SPEAKER_00
People don t want to believe that.
3
SPEAKER_00
There are a lot of people who reject that idea.
3
SPEAKER_00
They say oh, if it s the wrong time it s not the right person.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s not true.
3
SPEAKER_00
You can meet that individual that you have an amazing connection with but both parties still need growth before they can come together, all right.
3
SPEAKER_01
And so, now... What happens if they come together and they haven t healed?
3
SPEAKER_00
So, here s the thing, it is possible to get through that and survive and have a healthy relationship.
3
SPEAKER_00
It is unlikely for most people to survive being with someone you have a connection with and you have not healed.
3
SPEAKER_00
Again, most people won t even allow themselves to be with that person.
3
SPEAKER_01
They ll sabotage it so much they ll
4
SPEAKER_00
dive in but then they ll cheat or they won t respond to the person, they ll do something, right.
4
SPEAKER_01
Yes, and speaking of cheating, they tend to have a history of going back to an ex because the ex feels safer because it s not as vulnerable over there, all right.
4
SPEAKER_01
I can maintain more emotional control, it s familiar, so it s easier.
4
SPEAKER_01
So, I ve seen plenty of situations where again, the connection was so overwhelming so they ran back to their ex.
4
SPEAKER_01
No, when they re not... The ex is not for them and they re not for their ex but again, it just feels safer there.
4
SPEAKER_01
So, yes, a lot can go wrong if you try to be together when you have not healed and you have this connection.
4
SPEAKER_01
It would be best to acknowledge okay, you know what, we got some work we need to do, we realize we have a connection here, let s work on ourselves in the meantime before we take that next step.
4
SPEAKER_00
Can you heal while having sex with one or multiple partners for fun on the side?
4
SPEAKER_01
I m not going to say it s impossible but again, highly unlikely.
4
SPEAKER_01
Sex is such a distracting thing and we have to understand that so much can come from our sexual interactions.
4
SPEAKER_01
There can be new drama, there can be hell, an unwanted pregnancy, there can be a host of things and all of that will derail you in the healing process.
4
SPEAKER_01
You also have to be honest with yourself
4
SPEAKER_01
you may be having the sex because you re trying to distract yourself from the healing.
4
SPEAKER_01
Like, the sex is just a coping mechanism for you.
4
SPEAKER_01
Same as drugs, same as alcohol, people turn to these things because they don t want to deal with their reality in life.
4
SPEAKER_01
So, you ve got to be honest are you trying to just bury your head in sexual interactions or is it just if it s happening in a natural flow of life okay, then there s a greater chance that you can survive this but you got to be really careful.
4
SPEAKER_01
I would suggest
4
SPEAKER_01
cutting that off if you re trying to heal.
4
SPEAKER_01
You know again, I don t want to say it s impossible but you re going to make it extremely difficult and highly unlikely.
4
SPEAKER_00
For sure.
4
SPEAKER_00
I want to ask you about the best ways to meet someone these days 2020 moving forward, the do s and don ts for online dating.
4
SPEAKER_00
But what I m hearing you say is that you shouldn t be trying to meet someone.
4
SPEAKER_00
You shouldn t be doing the online dating game until you ve fully healed or at least started the process of healing.
4
SPEAKER_00
Because healing is a journey.
4
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes things take a lot longer to heal fully.
4
SPEAKER_00
But at least acknowledging and starting that process.
4
SPEAKER_00
What would be a process to start healing your past relationships or pains before we get into the conversation of do s and don ts of online dating?
4
SPEAKER_01
Okay, so of course, going to a therapist or coach is the ideal thing to do.
4
SPEAKER_01
You typically need that outside party that can help you process some things, help you see new perspectives, and go through a process of healing.
4
SPEAKER_01
Now, I will be honest, not every coach or therapist is going to help someone heal.
4
SPEAKER_01
Sometimes it just turns into a venting session.
4
SPEAKER_01
So, you ve got to be real careful about okay, if I ve been going to this therapist or coach for many weeks or months now,
4
SPEAKER_01
what progress have I really made?
4
SPEAKER_01
Have I been resolving or have I been coping?
4
SPEAKER_01
Because many are teaching you how to cope and manage and how to function within your brokenness, but they re not resolving it and helping you heal.
4
SPEAKER_01
Now, of course, you know, I m big on healing so I have my book Love After Heartbreak, which gives people the exact steps to healing.
4
SPEAKER_01
So, one of the steps I ll give you the first step
4
SPEAKER_01
is getting the hurt out in front of you.
4
SPEAKER_01
So, it s this who hurt me list.
4
SPEAKER_01
And so, you get a piece of paper, you write down who hurt me and you ask yourself the question who hurt me?
4
SPEAKER_01
And now everyone who comes to mind you put them on the paper.
4
SPEAKER_01
Doesn t matter if it happened very long ago, doesn t matter if you think you moved past it.
4
SPEAKER_01
If they come to mind when you ask the question then that means there s some kind of relevance there.
4
SPEAKER_01
And so, now you put them on the paper and like two sentences of what they did to hurt you.
4
SPEAKER_01
This will now at least help us identify what you ve been holding on to and where the hurt is and what needs to be properly addressed.
4
SPEAKER_01
And then from there we can do the other steps of getting things off your chest and forgiveness and all these different things that s involved in healing.
4
SPEAKER_00
I love that.
4
SPEAKER_00
I m a big proponent of writing letters to people that you never send them telling them how it made you feel, what you re frustrated and angry about with them,
4
SPEAKER_00
forgiving them, letting it go.
4
SPEAKER_00
And then I like to burn the letter and bury it as well in the ground to hopefully create a sense of like, okay, this was alive in me.
4
SPEAKER_00
And now I m killing this.
4
SPEAKER_00
And this this feeling this energy, I m putting it to bed, and I m putting it back in the world to hopefully create something new to grow something new.
4
SPEAKER_00
and more loving and powerful and create that intention.
4
SPEAKER_00
But I think that s really important.
4
SPEAKER_00
When should we know that we are healed enough?
4
SPEAKER_00
How do we know when our healing has gone far enough down this journey before we should get into meeting someone new, putting ourselves out there on social media, online dating apps and things like that?
4
SPEAKER_01
All right, well, first thing I want to say is now there are going to be times where sending the letter to the person is actually the best thing to do.
4
SPEAKER_01
Really?
4
SPEAKER_01
Yes, a lot of people are scared about that and it s a very difficult hurdle to jump.
4
SPEAKER_01
But I literally got a DM today from a woman who read the book.
4
SPEAKER_01
She wrote her letter last year, it was to her mother.
4
SPEAKER_01
she didn t want to send it she held on to it.

She said she just finally built up the courage because I tell them in the book 99% of the time I m going to tell you to send the letter.
4
SPEAKER_01
And so she finally did it and she said they end up having the best conversation they ve ever had in their life.
4
SPEAKER_01
Now they re like the best of friends like it s taking their relationship to a whole new level.
4
SPEAKER_01
And that s not the purpose of sending it, but there s so much good that can come from taking the extra step of actually sending the letter and making sure that person is aware of how you felt and what you were going through.
4
SPEAKER_01
Now, in regards to knowing when you ve properly healed, number one thing is when you can embrace being fully vulnerable with somebody, all right.
4
SPEAKER_01
If vulnerability still scares you, you have not healed enough.
4
SPEAKER_01
All right, you ve got to be willing to open your heart.
4
SPEAKER_01
We can t say we want love and then put walls up around our heart and be afraid to give it to someone.
4
SPEAKER_01
You re contradicting yourself, you re working against yourself.
4
SPEAKER_01
So, you ve got to be willing to be vulnerable.
4
SPEAKER_01
You also have to make sure any negative perceptions that you ve held on to due to past experiences, you ve done away with them.
4
SPEAKER_01
So, for example, if you have been saying all men are dogs because you ve been hurt by so many men, well, you can t be out there dating and still screaming all men are dogs.
4
SPEAKER_01
That s not going to work in your favor.
4
SPEAKER_01
You ve got to accept that good men exist and you can receive a great man, that you deserve a great man.
4
SPEAKER_01
So, when you have a more positive outlook and way of thinking... And listen, we re going to all have our negative thought moments.
4
SPEAKER_01
that happens.
4
SPEAKER_01
But your dominant or more consistent thought pattern is positive, hopeful, and things of that nature.
4
SPEAKER_01
Now, we can say you re ready to get back out there.
4
SPEAKER_00
How important is the language or the inner thoughts, the actual physical words we use in the inner language, the inner dialogue, in terms of attracting or finding the right partner?
4
SPEAKER_01
it s extremely important.
4
SPEAKER_01
You know, we hear it all the time words are power.
4
SPEAKER_01
And the reality is that the words you speak to yourself, the thoughts you have, they will... Whether knowingly or unknowingly to you, they will dictate your energy.
4
SPEAKER_01
The energy that you give off to people.
4
SPEAKER_01
or the way that your spirit comes across to individuals.
4
SPEAKER_01
And so, you can put on a happy face but if your thought is negative, pessimistic, all right, and dwelling in this then your energy will still be negative, all right.
4
SPEAKER_01
What you do on the surface isn t going to be able to hide that which is why you have some people who swear well, I m not a bad person.
4
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, but you re not a positive person.
4
SPEAKER_01
All right, you can be good people but no, you are miserable.
4
SPEAKER_01
And it s not even just you re miserable like you re dwelling in it in your life but you give off miserable energy.
4
SPEAKER_01
And so, who s going to want to be around that?
4
SPEAKER_01
Who s going to want to commit to that?
4
SPEAKER_01
At the most, they might want to have sex with you but they re not going to want to tie themselves to you in a committed long-term relationship or marriage.
4
SPEAKER_00
And people can feel that energy.
4
SPEAKER_00
I don t care if you re a man, woman, or in between, you can feel the energy of someone.
4
SPEAKER_00
And if you haven t healed properly yourself, you may be attracted to a wounded individual to then try to find some validation or try to find some connection there.
4
SPEAKER_00
And that s why it s important for you to heal so that you can fully see the energy around you and see who is a potential great match for you.
4
SPEAKER_00
Because if you haven t healed, you re going to keep attracting negativity and repeating certain patterns.
4
SPEAKER_00
Is that correct?
4
SPEAKER_00
That is absolutely correct.
4
SPEAKER_01
And if you talk to any person who has healed,
4
SPEAKER_01
they can tell you how they feel energy even more now.
4
SPEAKER_01
When they become more aware it s so much easier to see past the facades that so many people are putting up.
4
SPEAKER_01
Because now healing allows us to get more in tune with our spirit and by getting more in tune with our spirit we get more in tune with everyone s spirit.
4
SPEAKER_01
Because technically we are all connected through the spirit, all right.
4
SPEAKER_01
And so, it s easier to be in touch with that when you get away, get rid of the blockage
5
SPEAKER_00
of trauma, past disappointments and hurts, disappointments, things of that nature.
5
SPEAKER_00
It s powerful stuff man.
5
SPEAKER_00
I m still trying to get one of my first questions which is what s the best way to meet someone these days and online dating?
5
SPEAKER_00
But it sounds like that s so far ahead of what you need to be thinking about first.
5
SPEAKER_00
Like, have I started to heal?
5
SPEAKER_00
Are there people who have hurt me?
5
SPEAKER_00
Is there people that I need to apologize to?
5
SPEAKER_00
You know, all these different things it s almost like you got to do the work before you can start doing the work of finding someone.
5
SPEAKER_00
Absolutely.
