232: Solving the Acceptance Paradox - with Neil Sattin

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a relationship, it’s important to be able to accept your partner as they are. What if accepting your partner traps you in a relationship that isn’t healthy? What’s the balance between accepting your relationship as it is - and wanting to shift things without trying to turn your partner into someone different than who they are? If you value growth, and compassion...you can actually find yourself stuck in a bad relationship because of it! In today’s episode, we’re going to try to solve the “acceptance paradox” so that you can stay aligned with your values and still make a change.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As always, I’m looking forward to your thoughts on this episode and what revelations and questions it creates for you.
