In this episode you’ll get so much goodness – specifically;
3:49 – How we model our relationships on our own experiences
4:26 – Watching friends and families relationships break down and go through separation and the observations
6:40 – How we may either model on what we’ve seen in others or the pendulum will swing and we see our relationships head in the opposite direction
7:00 – Mels sense is that we aren’t really taught how to navigate relationships
8:07 – Esther Perel in her book, State of Affairs – suggests one person in the relationship projects everything onto the other person making it a huge burden for the other person to carry.
9:00 – My experience with several friends in my life and not filling their needs in the relationship.
11:33 – Turning points seem to make or break relationships – i.e. illness or breakdown.
12:40 – Mel talks – if we don’t treat ourselves with love and respect how are we supposed to show others how we want to be treated. We need to look in the mirror and ask ourselves why are we attracting the same relationships.
14:30 – Communication is my number one value in relationships. Cecelia suggested it’s the feeling of being heard.
