You’ve heard so many cliches about change--“change is good,” “change is painful,” “be the change you want to see in the world,” and on and on. When it comes to relationships, though--especially the long-term kind like marriage--the “ideal” (according to society) is of stability, both externally and internally. The image of the home, the 2.5 kids, the dog, and the white picket fence has become a cliche itself, as has the idea of couples growing old together and doing the same things they’ve always done. Not everyone desires that path, though, nor does the path or destination to a long-term relationship (in whatever form you want it to take) have to be conventional, either. You may be able to relate to my old client (and past podcast guest) Antoinette. She last appeared on the Love Life Connection a couple of years ago and since then has gotten a part-time job that takes her around the world. But she feels the lack of a stable, physical address and the internal changes she’s undergone in the meantime makes it harder for her to meet someone and form a long-term relationship. Her situation seems symbolic of this “post pandemic” world as we embrace new ways of being, living, and working. So in this episode of the Love Life Connection podcast, you’ll hear more about the beliefs underlying Antoinette’s uncertainty and the big transformation she’s undergone over the past couple of years. I’ll reveal how you can unplug from your unwanted beliefs around dating, relationships, and marriage and why change isn’t a bad thing (for you or your relationship). 10:43 - Why Antoinette reframed her desires since her last show appearance 19:26 - Antoinette’s new vantage point and the issue that brings up resistance 26:00 - Why you’re constantly changing (even when you think you aren’t) and why that shouldn’t stop you from dating 30:44 - Practical exercises to uncover and sever limiting beliefs about marriage 33:55 - Why an unconventional career or lifestyle doesn’t need to be an impossible obstacle for a long-term relationship 37:42 - The inner child work trap you don’t want to fall into (especially if you’re a newbie) 45:42 - Recapping the call with Antoinette with a few key reiterations I hope you enjoyed this episode!
