Cori Josias shares her journey from a difficult divorce to becoming a source of hope and advice for people wanting to create fulfilling partnerships. With over 30 years of experience as a Buddhist leader, Cori leverages her deep understanding of human connection and conflict to help women over 50 navigate their long-term relationships. She discusses the importance of making decisions and taking responsibility in relationships, as well as the role of archetypes in understanding personality dynamics. Cori's approach focuses on empowering individuals to step into their authentic selves and create healthy, transformative relationships. KEY TAKEAWAYS Cori emphasises the importance of making decisions in relationships. Whether it's deciding to stay or go, making a decision is crucial for personal growth and transformation. She uses the concept of archetypes to understand personality types and their impact on relationships. By recognising and understanding these archetypes, individuals can work on the parts of their relationship that aren't working and find a meeting point closer to the centre. Cori highlights the significance of authenticity in relationships. She shares her personal experience of trying to be someone she thought her partner wanted her to be, which ultimately led to the deterioration of the relationship. Being true to oneself and embracing authenticity is essential for a fulfilling partnership. Cori also incorporates Buddhist principles into her coaching approach. These principles include self-awareness, cause and effect, and the potential for personal transformation. Buddhism provides a framework for understanding oneself and navigating through life's challenges. BEST MOMENTS "I realised I had a passion for helping people because what unfolded in my life is that I became more of the person I was meant to be at the outset."  "The thing that started the relationship often becomes the problem."  "You have this person, because they're sort of an opposite, what we call a dynamic tension opposite, they're helping you fill in. It's like they fill in the gaps where you fall short."  "Even if you're in corporate and you're making a lot of money, you are going to need emotional support, because that's not easy." "The Buddhism I practice, it's called the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin. And, you know, with 35 years practice, I've learned a lot."  VALUABLE RESOURCES Free webinar here: https://cjosias.systeme.io/registration   Facebook group: From Doubt to Decision: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1073085790324578 Email: [email protected] Links: www.johnkennycoaching.com The Bicycle Affect: https://youtu.be/oO7XZGvdWno Relationship Video course and 1-2-1 coaching: Relationship Ready Online Programme - John Kenny (johnkennycoaching.com) To get in touch - email – [email protected] or book a complimentary call –https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30min If people want to order a copy of the book then they can just pay postage of £4.95 (RRP £8.99) - www.johnkennycoaching.com/podcast-book-offer Want to be able to address the relationship issues in your life? - Why not book in for a complimentary call and we can discuss how you can get the new started with some new types of relationships - https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30min The Relationship Guy Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/the-relationship-guy Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/johnkennycoaching LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-kenny-coaching Insta – https://www.instagram.com/johnkennycoaching/ Twitter – https://www.twitter.com/johnkennycoach YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHTj9x6Tlo7lcIJITyx-tgQ Clubhouse - @relationshipguy I am John Kenny, Award Winning Relationship Coach.
