EP76: How to Know What You Need and Want In Your Relationship Pt 1
29/06/2017 Duration: 29minI once was talking to a woman who asked me, “Why can’t I find someone who just knows what I need and want, and then do it?!” “Well, are you telling them what you need and want?” “No,I just think someone you’re in a relationship with should know.” It makes me so sad that this by far is the overwhelming beliefs as to what relationships are. It’s a mix of what we thought we saw in our parents, romanticized romantic comedies, and our smart phone culture where possibly technology knows us better than ourselves. In a relationship, you can NEVER be too clear as to what you want and need in a relationship. In fact, if a 7 year old can’t understand it, you’re not clear enough. It’s not because you or your partner are dumb, it’s because that’s what effective communication is. But you have to start with knowing what YOU want, and that’s what today’s episode is all about. This episode is the first in a two-part series. Next week, I’ll teach you how to effectively ask for what you need/want, but first, let’s get started w

Why ending relationships is so hard (and how to do it)
22/06/2017 Duration: 26minIn this episode, I share why ending relationships is so hard. The truth is, there’s a lot of fear, shame, judgment, not to mention heartbreak and disappointment when ANY relationship ends, no matter the reason or who did the breaking up. Which is why so many women stay in relationships long past their expiration dates. Think about it: how often have you waited for him to break up with you? How often have you tried to pick fights or make something so unbearable that he’d HAVE to break up with you? If you’re unsure about the relationship you’re in, or if you NEVER break up with a guy even though you know you need to, this episode is for you. In this episode, you’ll learn: How to deal with any shame or judgment that comes up when a relationship ends How to get the closure you need to move on How to know if it’s time to move on from your relationship http://veronicagrant.com/episode75 Hosted on Acast.
