Speaker 1 (00:00):
Powerful woman.
You have mastered it all.
You have built successfulbusiness, you achieved amazing
results, you built luxuriousstyle of living and everything

(00:24):
that you achieved and built isso amazing and you're proud of
yourself.
But when the lights go off andyou are in the quietness and
aloneness of your space, youfeel this really deep longing.

(00:48):
You feel alone and lonely andyou feel that something is
missing.
So you are admired andrespected and you look up to by
many, up to by many.
But deep inside there is alonging, the longing of deeper

(01:08):
connection with another humanbeing.
You long to build and develop ahealthy relationship with your
partner, with your husband, yourintimate connection.

(01:29):
But for some reason you couldn'treally work it out.
You puzzled why is this?
I see you and I feel you,because I was there myself too.
I couldn't really understandwhy.
All the external successes,everything, all the challenges

(01:55):
and all the issues and problemsthat life would throw up to me,
I could just find the way toresolve, and I found the way to
achieve it all, to go throughany challenge and come out on

(02:16):
another side with more power,with resilience, with more
knowledge and understanding.
But when it comes to love andintimacy, there is this feeling
of not being enough, or there'sa feeling, there's a doubt

(02:39):
inside that really blocks you toopen up.
I was there, I know how itfeels, and all of these
achievements and all of theawards and celebrations of your
achievement is not bringing youthat inner, deep fulfillment.

(03:01):
You don't really feel thatjoyfulness and love that you're
longing for.
I really see you, but what Iwould like to say to you that it
is absolutely possible to startto build and develop healthy

(03:28):
and fulfilled relationships.
I did it worked for me.
I did it worked for me.
And the way you can do it, youneed to start with yourself.
So what I'm sharing with youhere is an opening, an

(03:55):
invitation to start to take thatfirst step, because you've been
there many times, over and overagain.
You are stepping in the samesort of experience where you're
so excited and inspired by a newconnection and you're putting
everything that you have intothis relationship, only to find

(04:21):
out later that you are aloneagain, how frustrating and how
painful it is, and the more ofthese experiences that you have
and go through, the more youstart to doubt yourself.

(04:42):
But that's not true.
You are a goddess and you justneed to understand a little bit
of how that internal power, thatpower that you have to go

(05:02):
through any challenge, needs tobe shifted and learned a little
bit how to find that very softplace in yourself, the place
that knows how to love and beloved.
I found that place and I nowhave absolutely fulfilled

(05:28):
relationships, intimate personalwith any other people, with
colleagues, with children, witheveryone.
Because when we found thatplace and when we work through
all of these limitations and allthe doubts and all of this
dialogue about criticizingyourself, you can build

(05:52):
relationship with anyone andthey all gonna be fulfilled and
healthy and joyful and happy.
So I just want how puzzle you inthis space, because you know

(06:22):
how to build successful business, how to be achieving anything
and everything.
You always put everything thatyou have into achieving, but
that one thing that you cannotmaster is your love, love for

(06:45):
other, the intimate connection,the deep experience that we
humans so want to have.
So I'm inviting you to see atAsk Kara, a journey of love,
fulfillment and deep connections.
