1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: At the start, we want someone who keeps us at 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: the edge of our seats. But long term, what we 3 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: really want is someone that we can get cozy with 4 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: on the couch. Right. It's so interesting, Right, Well, you 5 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: want in a relationship is netflix and chill. You want 6 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: to be able to hang back, be lazy, be cozy 7 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: on the couch. But you're setting your relationship up to 8 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: be always nail biting at the edge of the sea. 9 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 1: But that isn't what you're trying to build. That isn't 10 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: what you're trying to grow. Hey, everyone, welcome back to 11 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: On Purpose, the number one health podcast in the world. 12 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: Thanks to each and every one of you that come 13 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: back every week to listen, learn and grow. Thank you 14 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: so much to everyone who's subscribing, who's leaving reviews. It's 15 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: making a huge difference to new listeners finding us, connecting 16 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: with us, and it means the world to me that 17 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: you're taking time to do that. Thank you, thank you, 18 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you. I cannot express my 19 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: gratitude enough. I want to dive into today's topic because 20 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: the amount of friends I've had in the last couple 21 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: of weeks, couple of months that have been talking to 22 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: me about the challenges they've had in relationships, a lot 23 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: of toxic behavior, unhealthy traits and characteristics. And I'm sure, 24 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: as you're listening right now, if you haven't been through this, 25 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: you have a friend who's going to need to listen 26 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: to this. And I hope that you'll pass this one 27 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 1: on because so many of us are suffering for longer 28 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: than we need to. So many of us are making 29 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: choices that are not great for us, or are struggling 30 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: to make a choice that would actually help us. And 31 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,559 Speaker 1: often I find that people stay in toxic, difficult relationships 32 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: for longer than they need to. By the way, this 33 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: even applies to work. If you think about how long 34 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: someone takes to actually quit their job or move on 35 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: or ask for a promotion, it's usually six to twelve months, 36 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: longer than it actually needs to be. How many times 37 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: have you been in a relationship where you felt like leaving, 38 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: but you stayed for another six to twelve months, only 39 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: to feel the same way throughout that entire period. So, 40 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: whether this is about you finding the right person, a 41 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: genuine connection with an individual, or whether this is helping 42 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: you move away from something or someone that isn't serving you. 43 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: I really hope that it gives you the courage and 44 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: strength to make the decisions that you need in order 45 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: to move towards healthy love. Now, I want to talk 46 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: about this term healthy love because I think for a 47 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: long time we talked about the one, we talked about 48 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: the right person, we talk about the wrong person, we 49 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: talk about you know, your soulmate. And I like the 50 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: word healthy love because it makes us believe that it's positive, 51 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: it's good. But when we know that there's healthy love, 52 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: we also accept that there may be parts of it 53 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: that are unhealthy. Right, if you have a healthy diet, 54 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: you know that's because you're choosing the things that are 55 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: good for you, which is the same with healthy love. 56 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: It's about choosing the habits, the traits, the personality type 57 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: that is good for you in a relationship. That doesn't 58 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: mean there are not unhealthy parts to it. That doesn't 59 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: mean there are not uncomfortable parts to it. And so 60 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: I like to move away from this idea of the 61 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: perfect one or the one or the soul may or 62 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: you know, the right person, because that kind of makes 63 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: us believe that there's this ready made person off the shelf, 64 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: almost like a ken doll. Or a Barbie doll that 65 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: is perfect as it is in its casing, whereas healthy 66 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: love means oh, I have to make choices, we have 67 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: to make decisions, we have to actually create healthy habits 68 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: in order to have a healthy relationship. So today I 69 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: want to talk about the differences and how to actually 70 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: develop them and build them and grow them. And I 71 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: want to start off by talking about the toxic trait 72 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: of over reliance on one person for everything. That the 73 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: one person is the only person you go to for 74 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: all your needs. So that works in one of two ways. 75 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: Either you're the person that your partner goes to for 76 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: all of their needs, or you're the person who goes 77 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: to your partner for all of your needs. And I 78 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: found that this has been one of the most challenging 79 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 1: things in a relationship. Now, if your partner comes to 80 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: you for all of their needs, often that can actually 81 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: be quite fun in the beginning, because you start to 82 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: feel powerful, you start to feel needed, you start to 83 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: feel useful. And who doesn't want to feel useful? Who 84 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: doesn't want to feel like they have all the the answers? 85 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: We all enjoyed that idea that our partner is dependent 86 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: on us in the beginning because it feels like we 87 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: have something to offer. It boosts our self esteem, it 88 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: gives us an ego boost, and it gives us a 89 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: sense of power and control. And so what's really interesting 90 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: is that we do it for the first month, we 91 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: may even do it for the first couple of months, 92 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: and then afterwards our energy starts to drain and we think, 93 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: wait a minute, this person is just relying on me 94 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: to carry them. We're just being completely relied on to 95 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: carry the relationship. And then we may push back, we 96 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: may have an honest conversation, and now the other person 97 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: is feeling wait a minute, but I showed you that 98 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: from the beginning, and you gave me the space, and 99 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: now you're taking it away. It almost feels like you're 100 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: hijacking what you first offered to this individual, and that 101 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: person now is feeling hard done by. You're now upset 102 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: because you feel like you've been used and everything falls 103 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: on you. And then now upset because they said, well, 104 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: wait a minute, you did it at the start. Why 105 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: are you not doing it right now? How many of 106 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: you have ever been in this position before. I'm guessing 107 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: there's a fair few of you. Now, what do you 108 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: do in that situation. In that situation, if you're already 109 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: there and you're like, well, Jay, I wish I knew 110 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: that before I started setting a precedence, started setting a standard. 111 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: If you've already set the standards, it's about setting a 112 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: new standard. And this is a great relationship tool. I 113 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: think one of the things that we don't do enough 114 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: in relationships, whether we're dating, whether you're committed, whether you're married, 115 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: whatever it may be, in a long term relationship is 116 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: resetting agreements, resetting standards, and redefining where you're at and 117 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: how you work on things. I think we often go to, well, 118 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: we've always done it that way. It's been like that 119 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 1: since we started dating. You've been the same person. I'm 120 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: the same person. We say things like that, not realizing 121 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: that there's always growth going on and there's a need 122 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 1: to re establish boundaries, re establish agreements, and this is 123 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: a great opportunity to do that. Now. If you're in 124 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: a position where you are the one who takes all 125 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: your problems to them, maybe you're the one who has 126 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: struggled with finding people in your life to help you grow, 127 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: and now when you've found this person, you're saying to yourself. 128 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: I'm just going to go to them for everything. Oh 129 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: my gosh, they're so smart, Oh my gosh, they're so strong, 130 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, they're so self aware. And all of 131 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: a sudden, you get so consumed and wrapped up in 132 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: this person that they become your be all and end all. 133 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: Maybe you're in that position right now. If you are 134 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: in that position, here's what I want you to think about. 135 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: I want you to take a moment to just close 136 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: your eyes for a second. Of course, if you're driving, 137 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: do not do this. If you're cooking, do not do this. 138 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: Take a moment to do it afterwards. And if you 139 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: can't close your eyes, you can do this with your 140 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: eyes open. But here's what I want you to do. 141 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: Take a moment to think of who's the first person 142 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: who comes to your mind when you think of the 143 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: most caring person in the world towards you, Someone who 144 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: cares about you the most. They're nurturing, they have that supportive, 145 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: compassionate disposition towards you. They'll only care about your health 146 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: and well being. Who's the first person that comes to 147 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: your mind, the person that cares about you the most. 148 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: Chances are it isn't even the person that you're with. 149 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: That's not a bad thing. Often people think, well, my 150 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: partner should be that person. They might not be. There 151 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: may be someone who trumps them. There may be someone 152 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 1: who's done it for longer. Remember this person. Okay, second reflection, 153 00:08:56,040 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: who is the most consistent person in your life? Someone 154 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: who's always been there for you, someone who's always been 155 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: by your side. Maybe they've lived life with you for 156 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: a long long time. They've been consistent. Maybe you went 157 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: to school together, maybe you grew up together. They're not 158 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: the most caring person in your life, but they are 159 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: the most consistent. They're always around when you need them. 160 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: And chances are that isn't your partner either. Now, think 161 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: about an area of your life. You may be struggling, 162 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: or you may have questions, And who's the most competent person. 163 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 1: Who's someone who you know is great at getting their 164 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 1: taxes done right their accounts. Who do you know who's 165 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: really great at fitness and health in your circle? Who 166 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: do you know that's really organized and focused and driven 167 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: towards their goals. It doesn't have to be your partner. 168 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: Your partner may be that, but who else comes to mind? 169 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: And finally, who's someone that comes in terms of high characters, 170 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 1: someone who's always living with the right morals and ethics, 171 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: someone that you go to for more spiritual inner guidance. 172 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: Someone in your life who carries them in a certain way. 173 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: These are the four types of people that create our 174 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: council for life, the caring one, the consistent one, the 175 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: competent one, and the one with character. There may have 176 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: been different faces that came to your mind for all 177 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: of them. Some of these people you may already know 178 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: and have a relationship with. Some of these people you 179 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: may have had one with before and you need to 180 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: re engage with. But it's so important, it's so needed 181 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: for us to develop a council around us instead of 182 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: depending on one person for everything. If we create an 183 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: over dependence on one person, we have to live with 184 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: feeling completely alone if and when they have a leave, 185 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: or if we feel like leaving them. So many of 186 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: us stay with people who are not good for us 187 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: because of how scared we'll feel or how bad will 188 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: feel being alone. So many of us stay with people 189 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: that are not good for us because we're scared of 190 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: how bad will feel if we're left alone. And the 191 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: only way to overcome that is to create this council 192 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: and to not lose it at any point in your relationship. Now, 193 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 1: another toxic trait that I want to discuss is this 194 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: idea of trying to change someone. I have always believed 195 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: that people don't change for people, They change for themselves. Right, 196 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: people don't change for you, They don't change for their ex. 197 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: They don't change for the next person. They don't change 198 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: for a family member. They change for themselves because they 199 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: feel a certain regret which may be inspired by a 200 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: family member. But I think what's really interesting is that 201 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: when we're trying to change someone, often we're trying to 202 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: change them to be like us. And I want you 203 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: to really sit there and reflect on this. Do you 204 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: really want to be with yourself? If we're organized, we 205 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: want our partners to be more organized. If we're spontaneous, 206 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: we want our partner to be more spontaneous. If we're 207 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: thoughtful about birthdays, we want our partner to be thoughtful 208 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: about birthdays. If we're always planning the weekend, we want 209 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: our partners to plan the weekends. We want our partners 210 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 1: to be us. But we have to really ask ourselves, 211 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: do we really truly want our partners to be us. 212 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 1: I'll give an example in my own life that's really 213 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: stood out to me. So I'm quite the organizer planner. 214 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: And when it comes to me and RADI, I realize 215 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: that if I make a plan for Saturday, rather will 216 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: happily go along. She'll be so positive about it, she'll 217 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 1: have a great time. She might be a little bit late, 218 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: she might have a few things that come up, but 219 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: she'll commit to my plan and she'll have a great time. Now, 220 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: if she made a plan, I may go along with it, 221 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: but I'll have my own thoughts about it. I will 222 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: question now say, oh, we should have done this first, 223 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: we could have done that. Now, that's my kind of 224 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: way of thinking, because I'm such an organizer planner. And 225 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: it's really interesting because I've realized how lucky I am 226 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: to be with someone who's always happy to go along 227 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: with my plans and is flexible, and and I've realized 228 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: that I need to be more that way. So it's 229 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: really interesting. We want our partners to be like us, 230 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: but actually, have we ever thought about needing to be 231 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: more like them or let them be them and we 232 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: be ourselves? Right? It's so interesting to me about how 233 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: we think, Oh, well, they're not ambitious enough. I'm so ambitious. 234 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: It's really interesting. Do you really want to date yourself? 235 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: That's the question I wanted to answer. Do you really 236 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: really truly believe you'd be happy if you were with 237 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 1: someone who is exactly like you? Because I know I 238 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: wouldn't be I don't want to date someone like me. 239 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: And it's really amazing how much time we waste trying 240 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: to mold someone into a version of ourselves. Now, let's 241 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: say someone's trying to change you. We all know what 242 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: that feels like. It's really interesting. We often try and 243 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: change other people, but when people try and change us, 244 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: we know exactly how it feels and how we would 245 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: never want to feel that way. And I think what's 246 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: really important about this is being clear about our desires 247 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: upfront and making sure that the person you're starting to like, 248 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: or you're dating, or you're connecting with is open with 249 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: you about what they truly want. Now, I'm not talking 250 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: about talking about how many kids you want on the 251 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: first day. I'm talking about really being clear and aware 252 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: of what someone's priorities are, rather than thinking about what 253 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: their potential is. Right, focus on someone's priorities, not their potential. 254 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: Is their priority to get the next job? Is their priority? 255 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: To be busy on the weekend because they're ambitious and driven? 256 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: Is their priority? You? Is their priority? Their family? What 257 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: is their priority? This is not about what their goals are. 258 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: Often we say, like, what are people's goals? And that's 259 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: an awkward question to ask someone, right like what are 260 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: your goals for this quarter? What are your goals for 261 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: the next quarter? What are your goals for the next 262 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: five years? I know so many people who hate that 263 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: interview question. But you can tell by someone's priorities what 264 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: their goals are, what is their calendar full of how 265 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: do they make choices and decisions on the weekends and evenings, 266 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: and recognize that that also comes with a choice. If 267 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: someone's prioritizing you, of course they can't prioritize their work. 268 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: If that person's driven and ambitious, they may have less 269 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: time for you. If that's what you're saying you want. 270 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: I think it's such an important thing to be clear 271 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: with other people about your priorities when you first meet them, 272 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: and observe their priorities too. Observe the language they use, 273 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: the vocabulary they use, and how they make choices about 274 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: their priorities, especially when it comes down to like making 275 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: a really clear choice between two things or an unclear 276 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: choice between two things. Watch what they pick. And I 277 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: think so many of us, you know, I had to think, 278 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: oh yeah, but they'll change that, Oh yeah, they'll come around, 279 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's not really important to them. And then 280 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: later on we're thinking, Wow, I can't believe that they 281 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: were always like that. It was always that way. Now. 282 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: The third toxic trait I wanted to discuss with you 283 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: all was playing games. If someone's playing power games with you, 284 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: if someone's playing interest games with you, if someone's playing 285 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: games with you by being hot and cold all the time, 286 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: or if you're doing that with someone, notice and know 287 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: that that's last every time things get tough, that's what 288 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna revert to, because that's become your method of 289 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: dealing with conflict. People don't just play games. Playing games 290 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: becomes people's way of gaining power and what they do 291 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: when they lose power. And if that's the game you've 292 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: already started to play, then that's the game you will 293 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: continue to play. I think people don't realize how relationships 294 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: really get set in stone very early on the rules 295 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: of a relationship get set in stone very very early on, 296 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: just by behavior, not even by what you say, and 297 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: then that becomes the status quo and how that relationship 298 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: operates for a long long time after. So I want 299 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: you to notice, is the person hot and cold? Is 300 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: the person playing games? And at the start feels exciting 301 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: because you get that burst of nervousness and anxiety, and 302 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 1: then you get the security and safety and that kind 303 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: of like swinging from safety to insecurity, from stability to 304 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: excitement and nerve. Like that's exciting, That is really really enthralling. 305 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: In the beginning, we think we're at the edge of 306 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: our seats at the start. We want someone who keeps 307 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 1: us at the edge of our seats. The long term, 308 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: what we really want is someone that we can get 309 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: cozy with on the couch. Right. It's so interesting, Right, 310 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: that's what you really want. What you want in a 311 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: relationship is Netflix and chill. You want to be able 312 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: to hang back, be lazy, be cozy on the couch. 313 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 1: But you're setting your relationship up to be always nail 314 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: biting at the edge of the sea. But that isn't 315 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: what you're trying to build. That isn't what you're trying 316 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: to grow. So what you really want to do is 317 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: establish playing as a team. You want to establish someone 318 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: who says we and us, not you and me. You 319 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: want to establish a feeling of we're solving this together, 320 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: we're going through this together, we're figuring this out together, 321 00:18:54,600 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: where we're understanding this together, not oh yeah i'm feeling 322 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: it today, Oh yeah, you're doing this right. Like that 323 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 1: kind of language automatically lets you understand where you stand. 324 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: One of the most interesting things or a method of 325 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: playing games which people are even unaware of, is when 326 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: someone tells you how you should feel. Someone says to you, oh, 327 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 1: you are really into me, you just don't know it yet, 328 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: or someone says to you something like, oh, yeah, you know, 329 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: if you decide to move on, or if you decide 330 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: to not pursue this, you're going to regret it later. 331 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: Someone's telling you how to feel, that's a toxic trait. 332 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: If someone is telling you how to behave with them, 333 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: that's a toxic trait. If someone's telling you I don't 334 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: think you understand how you're feeling right now, this is 335 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: how you're feeling, that's unhealthy. A healthy relationship is where 336 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: someone asks you, how are you feeling. An unhealthy relationship 337 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: is where someone tells you how you're feeling. No, it's 338 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: the difference. It's very subtle, right. An untoxic relationship is 339 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: where someone says to you, how are you feeling today. 340 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: A toxic relationship is where someone says to you, this 341 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: is how you're feeling. And in the beginning it can 342 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: be really comforting. You can feel like, Wow, this person 343 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: really understands me, like they really know me. But if 344 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: they're telling you, look, this is how you really feel, 345 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: You're not really tired. Come on out anyway, You're not 346 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: really this, Come on out anyway. Now. I'm not saying 347 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 1: you break up with someone over this, but you've got 348 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: to start to be observant of what you're sayting. Now. 349 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: I'm not saying to even turn this into an argument. 350 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: You could just say to someone, hey, I know how 351 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 1: I feel. I'm just telling you how I feel. I 352 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: just want to let you know that. And that may 353 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: be totally fine, because that person may be used to 354 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: trying to read between the lines or trying to prove 355 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: their worth that way as well. You've got to understand 356 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: that the traits people demonstrate in relationships are all based 357 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 1: on our own past trauma, our own past experiences, our 358 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: own past emotion, like it's not coming from nowhere. And 359 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: so it's almost like you've got two sets of trauma, 360 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: you've got two sets of experience having a UFC fight, right, 361 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: instead of both people trying to make peace. And I 362 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: think that's what's really interesting is that relationships are often 363 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: chasing pleasure, and in chasing pleasure, they become about power. 364 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: But really what relationships, healthy relationships are about pursuing peace? Right, 365 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: An unhealthy relationship chases power, a healthy relationship chases peace. 366 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: Are you pursuing peace with your partner or are you 367 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 1: pursuing power over your partner? That's the question. Are you 368 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: pursuing peace with your partner or are you chasing power 369 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: over your partner? Or is your partner chasing power over you? 370 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: It's about pursuing peace together. Piece is a really underrated value. 371 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now. Was so addicted to pleasure, 372 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: were so addicted to that dopamine, were so addicted to 373 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: that temporary relief and that pursuit of that ephemeral momentary bliss, 374 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 1: that we miss out on this deep search for a 375 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: feeling of peace and groundedness. The next rait I wanted 376 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: to talk about was unhealthy way is when you lose 377 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 1: your own identity with the other person as opposed to 378 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 1: discovering your identity through the other person. So a lot 379 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 1: of the time we become so intoxicated in a relationship 380 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 1: that we lose ourselves in the relationship. And what I 381 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,239 Speaker 1: mean by that is our identity becomes one of just 382 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: being together. Forgetting that, you have an identity separate, you 383 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: have friendship separate, you have interests that are separate. Right, 384 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: Your identity comes with individuals, It comes with interests, and 385 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: it comes with independence. And when that interest turns into 386 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: only joint interests, when that individuals turns into only friends 387 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: that you both get along with, and when that independence 388 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: turns into codependence, that's where a lot of our challenges 389 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: come in relationships. So I want to ask you right now, 390 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: who are the individuals, what are the interests? And what 391 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: is the independence that you don't want to lose in 392 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: a relationship that you don't want to sacrifice And by 393 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: the way, no one's making you sacrifice it. We voluntarily 394 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: give it up and then we get upset and blame 395 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: it on the other person. We get wrapped up in 396 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: a relationship, and I want you to encourage your partner 397 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: to do the same again. At the beginning of a relationship, 398 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: it can feel really exciting when the person says, Oh, 399 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 1: I'm not going to see my friends, I just want 400 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: to see you. I'm not going to see my family. 401 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: I just want to see you. Oh, I don't care 402 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,719 Speaker 1: about blameing pickupball tonight, I'm just going to see you. 403 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: That all sounds and feels amazing someone you is number one, 404 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: which is important. But your role in the relationship as 405 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: that relationship develops. I'm not saying say no to that, 406 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: but as it develops, remind the other person to not 407 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: give up the individuals, the interests, and the independence that 408 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: they had before in ways that are healthy for them. Right, 409 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: If it's healthy for them to see their friends that 410 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: they work out with, if it's healthy for them to 411 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: continue certain interests that they're passionate about, encourage them. Remind 412 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: them of that, don't force them, don't push them towards it, 413 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: but don't forget to remind them towards who they were 414 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: before they met you. Now, one thing that happens a 415 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: lot in relationships is that we point out other people's 416 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: mistakes or they point out ours. And what's really interesting 417 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: is we feel worried about pointing out other people's strengths, 418 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: and people often worry about pointing out ours, so we 419 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: focus on the mistakes rather than holding up a mirror 420 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: so the other person can reflect for themselves. So if 421 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: you have two people in a relationship, we're both reflecting 422 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 1: on their own behavior because they see how it impacts 423 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: the other person. And that's where we're trying to get to. 424 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: It's really hard. This is a hard one because both 425 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: people have to be reflective. But if you start a 426 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: relationship and say, hey, if we're both reflective, we don't 427 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: have to point out each other's mistakes. We'll automatically know 428 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: what they are. This is the age old one, expecting 429 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: someone to know what you want. I can't believe I 430 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: still have to say this one, but I really see 431 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 1: it all the time. We think love is they already knew, 432 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: they finished my sentence, they know what I'm thinking, They 433 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 1: knew what I wanted for my birthday. They get me. 434 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: Our definition of love, our feeling of love is if 435 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: we think someone gets us, and to get to that, 436 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: we need to help them get us by communicating it. 437 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: It's so obvious, but being able to say something like yesterday, man, 438 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: rather it was a rainy, rainy day this week in 439 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: LA And I hope if anyone was affected, I'm sending 440 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: you lots of I hope it wasn't too bad for 441 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: those of you who may have been in California. But 442 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 1: it was just really interesting. I was saying to rightly. 443 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: I was like, this is what I want to do. 444 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 1: She was saying, well, she wanted to do. And it's just 445 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: like communicating rather than like, oh, you should have known 446 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: what I wanted to eat today, or you should have 447 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: known what I wanted to do today, because we've been 448 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: together for ten years. And I think that's what's so 449 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: interesting is that the longer it gets, we think more 450 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: and more that it should be that way, so we 451 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: rely more on mind reading and then rely less on 452 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: communication when communication is what is going to make the difference. 453 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 1: I hope that these have helped you today. I hope 454 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: that this guides you in your relationship and your connection. 455 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: I'm so grateful that you trusted me to spend this 456 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: time with me. I hope that you'll pass this episode 457 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: on to someone else and again Thank you so much 458 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: for being a part of the on Purpose community. It 459 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: means the world to me and I can't wait for 460 00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: you to keep listening. Thank you did. She was
