S3E12 How to Prioritize Your Relationships

If your relationships are not prioritized in the order of Source, self, spouse, then others, then this episode is for you. 

We place so many burdens on our relationships. We put people in roles where they don't belong and we put ourselves into roles where we don't belong. We do this because supremacy culture has disconnected us from who we are and from who our divine source is. Join me today’s episode to learn a new way to prioritize your relationships! 

 

In today’s episode, we cover: 

• The order of relationships  
• We cannot give from an empty cup 
• The transactional nature in our relationships 
• The shift:  Getting your guidance from a Divine Source.  

 

Quotes 

[00:09:30] Most of us, especially as high achieving badass, powerful change-making women put ourselves last on the list, if we're even on the list. And a lot of times - source, what's that? And we put everyone else before us. And when we do that we get burnt out, stressed out and overwhelmed. And quite frankly that's also when you start to feel really raggedy and torn down and you look in the mirror and there's bags under your eyes and all that other good stuff. That's what happens when you've got the order of relationships out of order.  

[00:14:02] One of the biggest challenges that we see, especially in romantic partnerships, is that we try to make our significant other our everything. And so they need to be our partner, our spouse, our best friend or lover, our handyman or plumber. I mean, they need to be our everything. And that's too much of a burden to place on one person. And quite frankly, it's really not fair. And that's not their role. That's not their job. And yet, when you're putting them or others before yourself and God and anyone else, then what's going to happen is you're going to try to get something from them. That's the transactional nature that we often experience in our relationships. 

[00:15:37] I know and you know, and your spouse knows that y'all didn't get married just to live like roommates. You got married to share this heart-centered connection, this heart-based connection with another person. But guess what? It's gonna be really hard for you to have that heart-centered connection with someone else if you're constantly trying to get something from them, that you ought to be getting from your Divine Higher Power instead.
