How to be a “Better” Partner in a Relationship with Laura

<p dir="ltr">What do the law of attraction have in common with Christianity?</p> <p dir="ltr">You’ve probably run into the law of attraction idea of “attracting” circumstances, events, and people into your life based on your beliefs or “vibration” or whatever. Even if what you’re consuming isn’t specifically about the law, it can’t help but pervade personal growth spaces the same way Judeo-Christian standards pervade society even if you don’t identify as Christian.</p> <p dir="ltr">And this plays a part in a big misconception about inner child work (or personal growth, in general)-- the idea that doing it makes you invincible to problems.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to know where you need to grow or heal yourself and when it’s time to just kick the other person to the curb. I’ll also talk about why Laura’s question is such a loaded one and how you can start a relationship off on the right foot.</p> <p dir="ltr">7:35 - The root of what’s really behind Laura’s dilemma</p> <p dir="ltr">14:06 - How Laura’s difficulty with boundaries ties back to her parents’ relationship</p> <p dir="ltr">22:27 - Why you should look at boundary setting from a win-win perspective</p> <p dir="ltr">25:20 - Where Laura should focus her attention more (instead of on who she’s attracting)</p> <p dir="ltr">34:09 - Wrapping up with a recap of the call with Laura</p> <p dir="ltr">37:00 - How you can start a relationship off right from the beginning</p> <p dir="ltr">41:42 - The power of inner child work to make boundary-setting
