When I discovered the book Be: A No-Bullsh*t Guide to Increasing Your Self Worth and Net Worth by Simply Being Yourself, I dreamed of one day going to the author’s agency for a deep dive into my brand.
Two years later, we’re returning from a VIP branding session with Jessica Zweig and her team. And the experience was transformative for me as an individual as well as our relationship.
But what do you do if you’re changing, and it brings up uncomfortable feelings for your partner? Or if your partner’s transformation brings up uncomfortable feelings for you?
On this episode of Destined to Be, we discuss what it looks like when you’re open to receiving a new version of your partner after a personal development retreat or an event like Jessica’s.
We explain what to do if your partner is triggered by your growth and describe the challenge of developing a relationship with your emotions—especially for men.
Listen in for insight on acknowledging your emotions as an indicator that something needs to change and learn how to identify what you need and ask for it rather than avoiding your feelings.
