KEY TAKEAWAYS
It is essential to prioritize self-love and self-care to be able to show up authentically in relationships and create conscious connections.
Healing in relationships is a continuous process that involves resolving conflicts, learning to communicate effectively, and understanding each other's perspectives.
Accepting each other's differences and maintaining autonomy in a relationship is crucial to prevent resentment and dissatisfaction from building up.
It is important to learn the skill of agreeing to disagree, where both partners can have differing opinions without one being right or wrong, fostering understanding and harmony.
Effective communication, active listening, and holding space for each other are key skills in resolving conflicts and creating a harmonious relationship.
BEST MOMENTS
"We seem to really have expectations of those who come into our life to fulfil this void within us. That sometimes may not necessarily be fair."
"Tell me last time you guys had a fight, and have you looked at your boys during that time? Where were they and how did they react? And she shared with me, 'my older one was sitting in the corner and he was holding the younger one's ears. So he doesn't hear us.' "
"We had a lot of arguments. We had a lot of clashing because here I was on my own, I was healing. And now I have this man in my life that I feel responsible for because he came to this country for me."
"Real love comes from you being you. loving yourself first and foremost, because when you don't have love for yourself, when you don't have compassion for yourself, it's hard to identify that in anybody else."
