“We tend to make our men 'God,' and then we get so upset and so disappointed.” In this episode, Sophie is joined by her good friend Courtney McNabb who is a Women’s Empowerment Coach. In this conversation, Courtney shares her unique perspective on self-partnership, working through trauma, and understanding the role of polarity in relationships. She highlights the importance of the journey inward, prioritizing self-awareness, self-love, and self-worth. She shares that instead of polarity being a lifestyle, it should be viewed as an additional tool to keep a healthy and secure relationship passionate. Courtney also discusses the limits of polarity work, the power of inner child work, the concept of 'self partnering', and how misplaced worship can hinder genuine connection in relationships.  If you’re ready to challenge your beliefs about polarity and the transformational power of healing and self-awareness, be sure to tune in until the end of this very juicy conversation.
