About this episode
Themes: Relationships, Commitment, Uncertainty, Self-Worth, Self-Compassion, Self-Acceptance
Summary:
I remember when I was afraid to get engaged in my twenties, someone told me I was just afraid of commitment. That as a man, it was normal. I wasn't supposed to run towards love, but rather just surrender — as if it was some sort of life sentence I would need to learn to tolerate.
All of that couldn't have been more wrong. I wasn't afraid of commitment — I was afraid that love would hurt me.
Join me this week as I explore my thoughts on commitment, marriage, getting feedback, having compassion for yourself and what it means to trust yourself in love.
Discover:
What may be behind your fear of commitment
Why trusting love means trusting yourself
Why your partner shouldn’t be your ‘everything’
My tips on how to give and hold feedback
How relationships are your invitation to expansion
