- 0:56SPEAKER_02: Jeanette, welcome to the show.
- 0:57SPEAKER_03: Thank you.
- 0:58SPEAKER_03: Thank you for having me.
- 1:00SPEAKER_02: Can you tell me, how did you end up becoming a dating coach?
- 1:05SPEAKER_03: Oh, that's such a long story.
- 1:06SPEAKER_03: So do we have two hours, three hours?
- 1:10SPEAKER_03: No, actually, I separated 20 years ago from the dad of my two children.
- 1:17And I was voluntary single for four years,
- 1:20playing around,
- 1:22finding back to myself.
- 1:25SPEAKER_03: But I was also a little bit flirty in my approach those four years.
- 1:30And after four years,
- 1:31I wanted actually to be in a serious relationship again.
- 1:35SPEAKER_03: But I had the same approach, like a little bit appeal.
- 1:39SPEAKER_03: I was a little bit cold.
- 1:41SPEAKER_03: I didn't let someone in like anyone.
- 1:45SPEAKER_03: I was basically on the surface all the time, but I didn't realize that.
- 1:50SPEAKER_03: So I was dating those two years wanting a relationship,
- 1:55SPEAKER_03: but ending up with the same kind of men as the previous four years.
- 2:00SPEAKER_03: And I was really, what is wrong with all the men?
- 2:04SPEAKER_03: Because, of course, it was nothing wrong with me, right?
- 2:08SPEAKER_03: What is wrong with them?
- 2:10SPEAKER_03: I was actually thinking that, for sure.
- 2:12And I was,
- 2:14there has to be something that I can do or find or get some
- 2:19help.
- 2:20SPEAKER_03: Because I had my own company in health and two small children.
- 2:23SPEAKER_03: And I didn't want anyone to waste my time.
- 2:26SPEAKER_03: I was really in the masculine energy back then.
- 2:29SPEAKER_03: So I was, isn't there any matchmaker?
- 2:33SPEAKER_03: And I looked around, there was no matchmaker in Sweden.
- 2:36SPEAKER_03: And I was like, we can't have it like this.
- 2:38SPEAKER_03: So I started a matchmaking firm.
- 2:40SPEAKER_03: I became the matchmaker.
- 2:42SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 2:43SPEAKER_03: And from matchmaking, I converted into coaching.
- 2:48And today I work as a dating coach because I realized the work
- 2:52is needed to do within yourself.
- 2:56SPEAKER_03: It's not only to get a match.
- 2:58SPEAKER_03: It's not that easy, even if it's a, it's good, it's a good option.
- 3:03SPEAKER_03: But so that is how it started.
- 3:05SPEAKER_03: That is when the matchmaking firm was born.
- 3:08SPEAKER_03: So it's a long time ago.
- 3:09SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 3:11SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 3:12SPEAKER_02: How long have you been doing this, Jannette?
- 3:14SPEAKER_02: How many years?
- 3:15SPEAKER_03: I would say 13 years, something 13 years, something like that.
- 3:20SPEAKER_03: We were the first in Sweden actually, uh, in matchmaking.
- 3:23SPEAKER_03: So yeah.
- 3:25SPEAKER_02: And you also have two podcasts, right?
- 3:28SPEAKER_03: I have two podcasts.
- 3:29SPEAKER_03: I have one in Swedish.
- 3:33SPEAKER_03: And I have that together with some ideas.
- 3:35SPEAKER_03: So it's a male and a female.
- 3:37SPEAKER_03: And we always fight in that part.
- 3:40SPEAKER_03: No, but it's very, it's very nice.
- 3:41SPEAKER_03: It's two, two angles, right?
- 3:43SPEAKER_03: So it's, it's very interesting.
- 3:44We talk about relationships and then I have my English one and
- 3:48that is the answers.
- 3:49And I'm also talking about relationships and communications and
- 3:53a bit spiritual as
- 3:54SPEAKER_03: well,
- 3:54SPEAKER_03: I would say.
- 3:57SPEAKER_02: So your area is dating and relationships.
- 3:59SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 4:00SPEAKER_02: And I picked up something interesting when you were talking,
- 4:04SPEAKER_02: when you were telling me how you ended up becoming a coach.
- 4:07SPEAKER_02: And that is, you said you were in the masculine energy.
- 4:10SPEAKER_03: Yeah, for sure.
- 4:11SPEAKER_02: What did you mean by that?
- 4:13SPEAKER_03: We have masculine and feminine energies like yin and yang,
- 4:16SPEAKER_03: hot and cold,
- 4:17SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 4:17SPEAKER_03: light and dark.
- 4:19SPEAKER_03: And we all have them.
- 4:21SPEAKER_03: We all have them.
- 4:22SPEAKER_03: But the masculine energy is like the mountain.
- 4:25SPEAKER_03: You are working for results.
- 4:27SPEAKER_03: You are the protector, the provider.
- 4:29SPEAKER_03: You think pragmatic.
- 4:30SPEAKER_03: You use words as thinking, not feeling.
- 4:32SPEAKER_03: So you move ahead, you know.
- 4:35SPEAKER_03: And the feminine energy is more intuitive,
- 4:38SPEAKER_03: receiving,
- 4:40SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 4:40SPEAKER_03: the warm,
- 4:41SPEAKER_03: connected to the feelings.
- 4:43SPEAKER_03: So we need both.
- 4:45SPEAKER_03: But when you are stressed or if you work from fear,
- 4:50maybe you lean toward the different energy that is not supposed
- 4:54to dominate you.
- 4:55SPEAKER_03: Because I am masculine in work,
- 4:58SPEAKER_03: but I want to be in the feminine,
- 5:00SPEAKER_03: receiving the softness when it comes to relationships,
- 5:04SPEAKER_03: the romantic relationships.
- 5:06And I was leaning toward only the masculine energy,
- 5:09the resource,
- 5:10the control,
- 5:11the thrive.
- 5:13SPEAKER_03: It's a lot of control,
- 5:15SPEAKER_03: which is based in fear,
- 5:16SPEAKER_03: of course,
- 5:17SPEAKER_03: because when you have control,
- 5:20SPEAKER_03: you just,
- 5:20SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 5:20SPEAKER_03: it comes from fear,
- 5:22SPEAKER_03: fear of being seen or left or something like that.
- 5:25SPEAKER_03: So we need both, but we are dominant when it comes to the romantic arena.
- 5:32SPEAKER_03: Definitely, we need polarity.
- 5:35SPEAKER_03: So I was in the masculine searching for masculine men.
- 5:39SPEAKER_03: So it's like two in the masculine and that can't happen.
- 5:44SPEAKER_02: Oh,
- 5:44SPEAKER_02: so you're saying if you are in the masculine energy,
- 5:48SPEAKER_02: you're not going to attract the masculine.
- 5:52SPEAKER_03: No, you can't.
- 5:54SPEAKER_03: You can in the beginning.
- 5:55SPEAKER_03: It can be passion, but it will fade out.
- 5:56SPEAKER_03: And when I'm talking about energy, it's not gender.
- 6:00SPEAKER_03: I'm not talking about man and woman.
- 6:03SPEAKER_03: I'm talking about masculine and feminine energy.
- 6:06So even if you are gay or in the same gender,
- 6:09you still need polarity in the energies.
- 6:13SPEAKER_03: And you can shift it.
- 6:14SPEAKER_03: It can be a shift.
- 6:15You can be sometimes in that energy and sometimes in that
- 6:18energy,
- 6:19but you need to have polarity.
- 6:21SPEAKER_03: So as I was in the wrong side, I was only in the control and the fear.
- 6:27SPEAKER_03: I was fear-based.
- 6:28I was so high in the masculine,
- 6:29not at all in the contact with my feelings.
- 6:33SPEAKER_03: That is what the men saw.
- 6:35That is attractive maybe sexually and,
- 6:39you know,
- 6:39flirting,
- 6:40but there was just no connection.
- 6:43SPEAKER_03: There was no deepness because I came from fear.
- 6:47Yeah,
- 6:48I was much more into thinking and the result than,
- 6:51you know,
- 6:51receiving.
- 6:54SPEAKER_03: To love is easy.
- 6:55SPEAKER_03: You can't be... Yeah, sorry.
- 6:58SPEAKER_02: No, I'm sorry.
- 6:58SPEAKER_02: Go ahead.
- 6:58No,
- 6:58to love is easier than to be loved because it's much more
- 7:02vulnerable to be loved,
- 7:05right?
- 7:05SPEAKER_03: Because then you need to receive.
- 7:06SPEAKER_02: Oh, the receiving part.
- 7:09SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 7:11SPEAKER_02: Is that what is the most difficult with people?
- 7:14SPEAKER_02: It is.
- 7:15SPEAKER_02: To actually allow themselves to receive love?
- 7:17SPEAKER_03: Yes, for sure.
- 7:18SPEAKER_03: Definitely.
- 7:19SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 7:22SPEAKER_02: And how do they communicate that?
- 7:25SPEAKER_02: How do you...
- 7:27SPEAKER_02: If I would like to know if I am not allowing myself to receive,
- 7:33SPEAKER_02: how would that look like in real life?
- 7:35SPEAKER_02: Control.
- 7:35SPEAKER_02: Control.
- 7:37SPEAKER_03: Always in control.
- 7:39You want to have,
- 7:40you know,
- 7:40you want to have the,
- 7:42how can I say,
- 7:42the guarantee.
- 7:44SPEAKER_03: You want to know the outcome.
- 7:46SPEAKER_03: So you are spinning in your mind, creating outcomes that does not exist.
- 7:52SPEAKER_03: And you put fear into that outcome, but that outcome doesn't exist.
- 7:56SPEAKER_03: It's just in your fears.
- 7:59SPEAKER_03: And then you need to, and you want to control things.
- 8:01SPEAKER_03: And as I always say, you can control it.
- 8:03SPEAKER_03: You can have guarantee if you buy a TV.
- 8:07SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 8:07SPEAKER_03: But you can never have guarantee in someone's emotions and feelings.
- 8:11SPEAKER_03: We cannot control people.
- 8:13SPEAKER_03: No.
- 8:14SPEAKER_03: So we need to trust.
- 8:15SPEAKER_03: We need to trust the process here.
- 8:18SPEAKER_03: But when we come from fear, it's difficult.
- 8:22SPEAKER_02: Yeah, fear is difficult.
- 8:23SPEAKER_02: Is it related to also self-esteem?
- 8:25SPEAKER_02: Sure.
- 8:26SPEAKER_03: Definitely.
- 8:27SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 8:30SPEAKER_02: And when did you realize that,
- 8:33SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 8:33SPEAKER_02: this is the breakthrough when you were in the masculine energy,
- 8:38SPEAKER_02: fear-based,
- 8:40SPEAKER_02: not allowing,
- 8:41SPEAKER_02: not receiving and so forth?
- 8:43SPEAKER_02: When did you shift that and how did that happen?
- 8:47SPEAKER_03: It took me actually very, very long.
- 8:49SPEAKER_03: I am 53 this year.
- 8:52SPEAKER_03: And I can honestly say it's maybe five, six years ago.
- 8:59SPEAKER_03: So it happened like brick by brick.
- 9:04SPEAKER_03: It didn't happen like overnight.
- 9:06And how it happened is that I met people and I was in
- 9:10situations and especially one
- 9:13SPEAKER_03: relationship that I had triggered me so much.
- 9:17SPEAKER_03: I needed to face my own fears.
- 9:19SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 9:20SPEAKER_03: So sometimes we need to go,
- 9:22SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 9:23SPEAKER_03: through all those heartbreaks or heartaches or whatever it can be.
- 9:27You can meet people that just trigger it so much that you are
- 9:30forced to see it.
- 9:32SPEAKER_03: And that was what happened to me.
- 9:34SPEAKER_03: So I did the work myself, of course.
- 9:38SPEAKER_03: But I am thankful to the people around me,
- 9:41SPEAKER_03: also the mentors and the coaches that I've had around me.
- 9:45SPEAKER_03: So that was like brick by brick.
- 9:46SPEAKER_03: Today, I'm very leaned into the feminine.
- 9:50SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so it's nice.
- 9:52SPEAKER_03: Nice journey.
- 9:54SPEAKER_02: Nice journey.
- 9:55SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 9:56SPEAKER_02: How did that person trigger you?
- 9:58Because being in the masculine energy or if we take away the
- 10:03energy,
- 10:03we stick with the fears.
- 10:05SPEAKER_03: My fears was being abandoned or quick shifts.
- 10:11SPEAKER_03: When you know,
- 10:12SPEAKER_03: when it's like six o'clock,
- 10:14SPEAKER_03: that feeling and eight o'clock,
- 10:16SPEAKER_03: another feeling or Mondays like this,
- 10:19SPEAKER_03: Tuesdays like that,
- 10:21SPEAKER_03: small,
- 10:21SPEAKER_03: small,
- 10:21SPEAKER_03: small things in the patterns,
- 10:24SPEAKER_03: like a shift of emoji,
- 10:26SPEAKER_03: a shift of energy in the text that triggered me so much.
- 10:31And I became needy and not pleasing,
- 10:35but I became overgiving and overforgiving.
- 10:39SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
- 10:41because everything that was in between didn't interest me as
- 10:45long as I got got it
- 10:46back that was my mission to get it back and this was normal to
- 10:50me and to to the
- 10:54listeners I just want to explain because it's very important
- 10:57this is the attachment
- 10:58SPEAKER_03: styles have you heard from the attachment styles do you know them
- 11:03SPEAKER_02: I've heard the word before, but I'm not familiar with it.
- 11:06SPEAKER_03: This is really important because this is the core.
- 11:09SPEAKER_03: And we have four attachment styles.
- 11:12SPEAKER_03: We have the secure,
- 11:13SPEAKER_03: and then we have the unsecure anxious,
- 11:17SPEAKER_03: unsecure avoidant,
- 11:19SPEAKER_03: and then we have disorganized.
- 11:22SPEAKER_03: So this is how you get your coding when you are a child.
- 11:26SPEAKER_03: So when you're safe, you get love and comfort always.
- 11:30SPEAKER_03: It's always equal.
- 11:31SPEAKER_03: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, it's always the same.
- 11:33SPEAKER_03: It's secure.
- 11:35SPEAKER_03: And then we have unsecure anxious.
- 11:37SPEAKER_03: Then you get it sometimes, but you have shifts.
- 11:41SPEAKER_03: Sometimes you get it.
- 11:42SPEAKER_03: Sometimes you don't.
- 11:44SPEAKER_03: Sometimes you're seen.
- 11:45SPEAKER_03: Sometimes you're not.
- 11:46SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 11:47SPEAKER_03: And that can form you.
- 11:49SPEAKER_03: So you are now, you think that this is normal, hot and cold is normal.
- 11:53And you get anxious and needy and you're fear-based because you
- 11:58know that they can
- 11:59SPEAKER_03: leave anytime.
- 12:00SPEAKER_03: It can shift like this.
- 12:02SPEAKER_03: So everything is just for a moment.
- 12:04SPEAKER_03: You can always see the end.
- 12:06SPEAKER_03: You try to control that.
- 12:08SPEAKER_03: And avoidant, you never get it.
- 12:10SPEAKER_03: You always need to sit with your feelings and emotions yourself.
- 12:16SPEAKER_03: You never get comfort.
- 12:18You maybe get the food and the clothing and the warmth,
- 12:21but you never get emotionally met.
- 12:25SPEAKER_03: That's hard.
- 12:26SPEAKER_03: This is the island.
- 12:27I call them the island because they're very difficult in that
- 12:30attachment style.
- 12:32And disorganized,
- 12:34that is when you are growing up with violence,
- 12:38trauma,
- 12:39maybe abuse.
- 12:40SPEAKER_03: I mean, a little bit more drugs, alcohol, et cetera.
- 12:43SPEAKER_03: So it's a mix between avoidant and anxious.
- 12:48SPEAKER_03: So to me, I'm anxious.
- 12:52SPEAKER_03: I'm an unsecure, anxious attachment.
- 12:55So for me,
- 12:56this was,
- 12:56you know,
- 12:57it was the red thread in control,
- 13:00fear-based.
- 13:01SPEAKER_03: They are going to leave.
- 13:02SPEAKER_03: I shut down.
- 13:03SPEAKER_03: I'm going to be hard.
- 13:05SPEAKER_03: Don't get into me because I know it's going to be an ending.
- 13:09And you overgive,
- 13:09you overforgive because that is the only thing you know.
- 13:14SPEAKER_03: You don't know anything else.
- 13:15SPEAKER_03: And the nervous system in our body doesn't know right from wrong.
- 13:21SPEAKER_03: The nervous system only knows familiarity.
- 13:24SPEAKER_03: So when it's familiar, it's safe.
- 13:28SPEAKER_01: That's well said, yeah.
- 13:29SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 13:30SPEAKER_03: So you need to recode.
- 13:33SPEAKER_03: But if you're going to recode and take back your own truth,
- 13:35SPEAKER_03: you first need to see where is it coming from?
- 13:39SPEAKER_03: Where's the core?
- 13:40SPEAKER_03: Who told me this?
- 13:41SPEAKER_03: Who showed me this?
- 13:42SPEAKER_03: Because you don't know anything else.
- 13:44SPEAKER_03: The nervous system goes alarm.
- 13:46SPEAKER_03: So you need to go back.
- 13:48SPEAKER_03: Where is this coming from?
- 13:50SPEAKER_03: Then you can take back your truth.
- 13:54SPEAKER_03: So it's quite a journey.
- 13:58SPEAKER_03: But if you do it right, it's quite possible.
- 14:00SPEAKER_03: It's a beautiful journey.
- 14:02SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 14:04SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 14:05SPEAKER_02: So who we are, we're bringing ourselves to the relationship.
- 14:10SPEAKER_02: And if we're not aware...
- 14:14of our different attachment styles that can impact our
- 14:18relationships negatively.
- 14:20SPEAKER_03: For sure, 100%.
- 14:21And all the relationships,
- 14:24not only the romantic ones,
- 14:26all the relationships.
- 14:28SPEAKER_02: You mean outside work?
- 14:29SPEAKER_03: Yes, of course, definitely.
- 14:30SPEAKER_03: It depends on how you, maybe you are grown up.
- 14:33SPEAKER_03: They say to you, you need to perform to earn love.
- 14:36SPEAKER_03: You're only good if you perform.
- 14:38SPEAKER_03: You need to earn love.
- 14:39SPEAKER_03: You need to earn things.
- 14:40Then you get hyper-focused at work because that's the only
- 14:43thing that you think
- 14:46SPEAKER_03: will come from love later.
- 14:47That's the only thing you think you need to do,
- 14:50perform,
- 14:51perform,
- 14:51perform.
- 14:52SPEAKER_03: Maybe that's what you've been told, that you need to earn love.
- 14:56SPEAKER_03: And we never need to earn love.
- 14:58SPEAKER_03: We need to be in the love.
- 15:00SPEAKER_03: So this is masculine and feminine energy.
- 15:03SPEAKER_03: You can be different in different arenas.
- 15:05SPEAKER_03: I'm very safe, maybe a little bit avoidant even in friendships.
- 15:10SPEAKER_03: I need space, even if I love them.
- 15:12SPEAKER_03: I'm very blessed with beautiful friends.
- 15:16SPEAKER_03: In work, no problem.
- 15:17SPEAKER_03: I love it.
- 15:18SPEAKER_03: I thrive.
- 15:19SPEAKER_03: And then we come to the romantic part.
- 15:23SPEAKER_03: And this is what I see in my clients as well.
- 15:26SPEAKER_03: It's in different arenas.
- 15:28SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 15:29SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 15:30SPEAKER_02: Can you identify different attachment styles with your clients?
- 15:33SPEAKER_03: Oh yes.
- 15:34SPEAKER_02: Is it easy to see a pattern?
- 15:35SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 15:36SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 15:37SPEAKER_03: There is,
- 15:38of course it's avoided and my clients are avoidant or I would
- 15:43say anxious,
- 15:44SPEAKER_03: but also,
- 15:45SPEAKER_03: yeah,
- 15:45SPEAKER_03: also disorganized.
- 15:46SPEAKER_03: So it's mostly the unsure that comes to me, of course.
- 15:51SPEAKER_02: How does the avoidant look like in a relationship?
- 15:55they're difficult this is the island as soon as someone comes
- 15:59too close they run
- 16:02because they don't they don't know how to deal with that so the
- 16:06thing with the
- 16:06avoidant is that they are very very present in the beginning
- 16:11planning vacations
- 16:13SPEAKER_03: they have big minds they have really big emotions very quickly they are
- 16:18SPEAKER_03: in the yellow personal arena,
- 16:20SPEAKER_03: like very,
- 16:20SPEAKER_03: very extroverted often and present and loving and love bombing even.
- 16:28SPEAKER_03: But as soon as consistency and commitment comes in, they are gone.
- 16:32SPEAKER_03: They can even ghost.
- 16:34SPEAKER_03: They can even ghost.
- 16:35SPEAKER_03: They can just check out.
- 16:37SPEAKER_03: It's very, very difficult.
- 16:38SPEAKER_03: As soon as they feel pressure or they are receiving love, they are gone.
- 16:46SPEAKER_03: And then they come back and then they're gone again.
- 16:48SPEAKER_03: And then they come back and then they are gone again and so on and so on.
- 16:52SPEAKER_03: So you can see the avoided and the ambivalent,
- 16:56the anxious are a match here because the anxious is used to hot
- 17:00and cold and think
- 17:01SPEAKER_03: that is normal.
- 17:03And the avoidant gets a little bit confirmation and gets a
- 17:07little bit love from the anxious.
- 17:10And when it's too much,
- 17:11they're off and the anxious is after them,
- 17:13needing them,
- 17:14forgiving them.
- 17:16SPEAKER_03: And now we're both in patterns that are familiar, but so, so toxic.
- 17:24SPEAKER_01: Wow.
- 17:25SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 17:25SPEAKER_03: Wow.
- 17:26SPEAKER_01: It sounds very toxic.
- 17:27SPEAKER_03: It is toxic.
- 17:29SPEAKER_03: And I will do a metaphor that is easy for the listeners to relate to.
- 17:33SPEAKER_03: If you have a ball and the ball is love, right?
- 17:38SPEAKER_03: And you start throwing that ball and you get it back.
- 17:41SPEAKER_03: And that's nice.
- 17:42SPEAKER_03: You get it back again and you throw the ball a couple of times.
- 17:45SPEAKER_03: And then one day you throw it.
- 17:47SPEAKER_03: Nothing comes back.
- 17:49SPEAKER_03: And you go, what?
- 17:50SPEAKER_03: What is happening?
- 17:51SPEAKER_03: You throw it again.
- 17:52SPEAKER_03: No ball.
- 17:54SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 17:55SPEAKER_03: And then after a couple of times, you turn away and then comes the ball.
- 17:58SPEAKER_03: And what happens here for the anxious is nothing in between matters.
- 18:03SPEAKER_03: The only thing that matters is to get the ball back.
- 18:08SPEAKER_03: This is the only thing.
- 18:09SPEAKER_03: So the dopamine that is arriving when you get the ball, they're back.
- 18:15SPEAKER_03: They are back.
- 18:15SPEAKER_03: The relief.
- 18:16SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 18:17SPEAKER_03: And on and on and on and on.
- 18:19SPEAKER_03: This is the dynamic.
- 18:21SPEAKER_03: This is the toxic, toxic dynamic.
- 18:23SPEAKER_03: Because the one that comes and goes is the avoidance.
- 18:28SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
- 18:28SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 18:29So here we need to take both and sit them down and say,
- 18:32hey,
- 18:33we have here different attachments.
- 18:35SPEAKER_03: That's how do we work with this?
- 18:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 18:38SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 18:39SPEAKER_02: So the anxious,
- 18:40SPEAKER_02: do they tend to stay too long in a relationship,
- 18:45SPEAKER_02: even abusive relationships as well?
- 18:46SPEAKER_02: For sure.
- 18:47SPEAKER_03: For sure.
- 18:48SPEAKER_03: because they're so over-forgiving.
- 18:50SPEAKER_03: Hot and cold is so normal to the nervous system.
- 18:52SPEAKER_03: It's familiar.
- 18:54SPEAKER_03: This is how it's supposed to be.
- 18:55SPEAKER_03: Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
- 18:59SPEAKER_03: And this is toxic because we all deserve consistency.
- 19:04SPEAKER_03: And love is not a game, and love should not be that hard.
- 19:08SPEAKER_03: And love is not hot and cold.
- 19:11SPEAKER_03: Love is consistent.
- 19:12SPEAKER_03: Love is safe.
- 19:14SPEAKER_03: But we can work together if we are dancing together.
- 19:17SPEAKER_03: But we should never chase love.
- 19:21SPEAKER_03: It's difficult because we people want to be loved.
- 19:26SPEAKER_03: We don't want to be alone.
- 19:28SPEAKER_03: So we are chasing the breadcrumb sometimes to prevent being alone.
- 19:33SPEAKER_03: I can understand that.
- 19:34SPEAKER_03: It's difficult.
- 19:36SPEAKER_03: But we are worthy of more, right?
- 19:40SPEAKER_02: Everybody deserves love, like you said.
- 19:41SPEAKER_03: Of course, yes.
- 19:42SPEAKER_02: Very well said.
- 19:43SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 19:45SPEAKER_02: This is very fascinating, very interesting.
- 19:49SPEAKER_02: What do you think people struggle with most in dating?
- 19:53SPEAKER_02: I mean, we've talked about different attachment styles.
- 19:56SPEAKER_02: Are there other things people struggle with when they are dating?
- 20:00SPEAKER_03: Yes, I would say being in the authentic.
- 20:04SPEAKER_03: We all have masks that we can sell.
- 20:07SPEAKER_03: We all know qualities that is doable in social societies or anything.
- 20:17SPEAKER_03: We can sell something in us in a mask.
- 20:19SPEAKER_03: Maybe you're the clown.
- 20:21SPEAKER_03: Maybe you're the therapist.
- 20:23SPEAKER_03: Maybe you're the listener, the solution person.
- 20:26SPEAKER_03: We all have something.
- 20:27SPEAKER_03: We know this is going to work.
- 20:31SPEAKER_03: We put on that mask.
- 20:33SPEAKER_03: where we're going on a date and we show one side of us.
- 20:39SPEAKER_03: But that is not possible.
- 20:40SPEAKER_03: We need to show more sides of us.
- 20:42SPEAKER_03: So if I'm the therapist and I listen and listen and listen,
- 20:45SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 20:47SPEAKER_03: it's not going to work because then I would be in a friend zone.
- 20:51SPEAKER_03: I need to show more sides.
- 20:52SPEAKER_03: I need to show some vulnerability, maybe some humor, presence, authentic.
- 20:59SPEAKER_03: I need to be more than just one side, one mask.
- 21:03When people go on a date,
- 21:05the only thing they have in mind is how do I get chosen?
- 21:11SPEAKER_03: Why is that?
- 21:13SPEAKER_03: How do I get chosen?
- 21:14SPEAKER_03: And I say to my clients, what?
- 21:18SPEAKER_03: You're not there to be chosen.
- 21:20SPEAKER_03: You're there to get to know a new person.
- 21:23SPEAKER_03: Who are they?
- 21:24SPEAKER_03: Be curious.
- 21:25SPEAKER_03: Take away the expectations.
- 21:27SPEAKER_03: Because they need to be a fit to you as well, right?
- 21:32SPEAKER_03: So why is the focus only to be chosen?
- 21:35SPEAKER_03: It's not interesting.
- 21:36SPEAKER_03: You lose the attraction, the energy in the dates.
- 21:40SPEAKER_03: You get stiff and you put on the mask.
- 21:43So I ask my clients,
- 21:44what is it in you that you're so afraid that someone will see?
- 21:49SPEAKER_03: Why do you want to be chosen by someone who you maybe really doesn't...
- 21:54SPEAKER_03: Maybe you don't want them.
- 21:56SPEAKER_03: Maybe you're not compliant.
- 21:57SPEAKER_00: You don't even know them.
- 21:58SPEAKER_00: No, you don't know them.
- 21:59SPEAKER_03: You don't even know them.
- 22:01SPEAKER_03: And there is a saying that is so nice.
- 22:04SPEAKER_03: You don't give away your house key to first person you meet.
- 22:08SPEAKER_03: If I'm going to give away my house key, I need to trust that person.
- 22:12SPEAKER_03: So why do you give away your heart?
- 22:13SPEAKER_03: Like so easy.
- 22:16SPEAKER_03: That is the same.
- 22:17SPEAKER_03: You need to earn it a little bit.
- 22:19SPEAKER_03: Show some bricks.
- 22:21SPEAKER_03: And this is the absolutely...
- 22:25SPEAKER_03: Biggest mistake I can see when clients are dating.
- 22:29SPEAKER_03: They are there to be chosen.
- 22:31SPEAKER_03: Nothing else.
- 22:33SPEAKER_03: And also they build up false expectations because,
- 22:36SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 22:37SPEAKER_03: you go on four dates,
- 22:39SPEAKER_03: they are not successful.
- 22:41And now you already have in your mind the fifth one will also
- 22:44not be successful.
- 22:46SPEAKER_03: But that is a new person.
- 22:48SPEAKER_03: That's a completely new person.
- 22:51SPEAKER_03: So why not?
- 22:53SPEAKER_03: Be curious.
- 22:55SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 22:55SPEAKER_02: So be authentic doesn't mean be yourself.
- 22:59SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 23:01SPEAKER_03: Be yourself.
- 23:02SPEAKER_03: Definitely.
- 23:03But what if somebody is listening right now and saying,
- 23:05well,
- 23:05I don't have much going for me.
- 23:07SPEAKER_02: I'm really lazy.
- 23:10SPEAKER_02: You know, I don't take care of my health.
- 23:11SPEAKER_02: I don't go to the gym.
- 23:13SPEAKER_02: I'm not a good communicator.
- 23:16SPEAKER_02: What should I do?
- 23:17SPEAKER_03: That's just sad, what you just said.
- 23:19SPEAKER_03: We all have something to offer.
- 23:23SPEAKER_03: We all have that value.
- 23:24SPEAKER_03: You don't need to be anything to be loved.
- 23:27And if you feel like that,
- 23:28that is something different,
- 23:29then you should do that.
- 23:30SPEAKER_03: You should go more to the gym.
- 23:32If you feel you're feeling more well when you do it and you're
- 23:36in the best version,
- 23:39SPEAKER_03: But you don't need to be whole in that sense to find love.
- 23:43SPEAKER_03: Definitely not.
- 23:44But you need to be open to get to know a new person and to give
- 23:50and to receive.
- 23:51SPEAKER_03: You need to be invested.
- 23:54SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 23:56SPEAKER_03: That's just an investment.
- 23:58SPEAKER_03: So I would say to them,
- 24:00SPEAKER_03: go out and do the dating and go to the gym as well in the meantime,
- 24:03SPEAKER_03: if you like to,
- 24:04SPEAKER_03: you know.
- 24:05SPEAKER_03: So there is no role to this.
- 24:08SPEAKER_03: You don't need to be anything to be finding love.
- 24:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 24:13SPEAKER_02: But I guess,
- 24:14SPEAKER_02: do people paint this picture that I have to be interesting,
- 24:18SPEAKER_02: I have to have an interesting life,
- 24:20SPEAKER_02: I have to look fit,
- 24:22SPEAKER_02: I have to have a lot of friends,
- 24:24I have to look good on social media before I can date somebody
- 24:27interesting or find
- 24:30SPEAKER_02: love?
- 24:31SPEAKER_02: Sure.
- 24:32SPEAKER_03: But if we break it down, I need to be that and that and that.
- 24:36SPEAKER_03: That is transactional.
- 24:38SPEAKER_03: This is transactional.
- 24:39SPEAKER_03: I need to be this to get this.
- 24:42SPEAKER_03: And always we're in the wrong mindset.
- 24:45SPEAKER_03: Because love is not transaction.
- 24:47SPEAKER_00: That's an investment.
- 24:51SPEAKER_03: So how do you become interesting?
- 24:53SPEAKER_03: That is up to everyone.
- 24:55SPEAKER_03: I mean,
- 24:55SPEAKER_03: what I find interesting,
- 24:57SPEAKER_03: the only thing I want to talk about in data is politician or psychology.
- 25:01How interesting is that for someone who is not interested in
- 25:04those two topics?
- 25:06SPEAKER_03: So what is interesting?
- 25:07SPEAKER_03: How do you become interesting?
- 25:10SPEAKER_03: That's so individual.
- 25:13SPEAKER_03: What is right for one is wrong for another.
- 25:15SPEAKER_03: So be what's right for you, I would say.
- 25:23SPEAKER_02: So be authentic and be interested in the other person.
- 25:26SPEAKER_03: Be curious, yes.
- 25:27SPEAKER_02: But I guess get out there and start dating.
- 25:30SPEAKER_02: Yeah, of course.
- 25:31SPEAKER_02: It's not going to be perfect.
- 25:32SPEAKER_03: No, it shouldn't be.
- 25:34SPEAKER_03: It shouldn't be.
- 25:35SPEAKER_03: What is perfect?
- 25:37SPEAKER_03: I don't know what perfect is.
- 25:38SPEAKER_03: I love imperfection.
- 25:41SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that is what makes us, us.
- 25:45SPEAKER_03: So we need to be a little bit more, take away the drama from this.
- 25:49SPEAKER_03: Don't take away the transaction thinking.
- 25:53And I need to be chosen thinking and be more in your own core,
- 25:59in your own energy,
- 26:00right?
- 26:02SPEAKER_03: And go out and be curious, right?
- 26:03SPEAKER_03: And then we have a much more attractive date.
- 26:08SPEAKER_03: You can meet people in the supermarket, I promise you.
- 26:11SPEAKER_03: You can meet people everywhere.
- 26:16SPEAKER_02: So if you're coming from a good place,
- 26:18SPEAKER_02: it sounds like you need to be comfortable with who you are.
- 26:25SPEAKER_02: You've done your inner work.
- 26:29SPEAKER_02: in order to be able to connect with other people and find love.
- 26:35SPEAKER_03: Yeah,
- 26:35if you want to connect in the sense of meeting your needs and
- 26:40your values and your
- 26:41SPEAKER_03: boundaries,
- 26:43SPEAKER_03: for sure,
- 26:44SPEAKER_03: you need to know them first.
- 26:45SPEAKER_03: But this comes back to the attachment style.
- 26:48SPEAKER_03: This is so easy.
- 26:49SPEAKER_03: There was two different things.
- 26:51SPEAKER_03: We have healing.
- 26:53SPEAKER_03: We have mindset.
- 26:55And it's actually a bit tough to go into the mindset if you're
- 27:00not healed.
- 27:01SPEAKER_03: To be in this, yay, come on, this pep talk.
- 27:05It's difficult if you're wounded and you're broken and you're
- 27:08low in self-esteem
- 27:11SPEAKER_03: because that is really painful.
- 27:13SPEAKER_03: That is deeply, deeply painful, those people.
- 27:16SPEAKER_03: And I have clients, they are 40, they have never been on a date.
- 27:20SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 27:21SPEAKER_03: I mean, the longer the time goes, the more difficult.
- 27:25SPEAKER_03: And if you never are chosen by anyone, it is eating you up.
- 27:30SPEAKER_03: And I can understand that.
- 27:32SPEAKER_03: But again, we need to go back to the core.
- 27:35SPEAKER_03: Where is it coming from?
- 27:37SPEAKER_03: Heal that part.
- 27:39And trusting the process and knowing that you don't need
- 27:42validation from outside.
- 27:44SPEAKER_03: You work inside and out and not outside and in.
- 27:48SPEAKER_03: Well, this is a journey.
- 27:49SPEAKER_03: It's a painful journey for those people that is wounded, right?
- 27:52So we've talked about attachment styles,
- 27:57being healed,
- 27:59being authentic,
- 28:02and so forth.
- 28:03SPEAKER_02: So I guess my question is then how do loneliness and desire,
- 28:09SPEAKER_02: when you desire somebody,
- 28:12SPEAKER_02: get confused with,
- 28:13SPEAKER_02: for instance,
- 28:14SPEAKER_02: love?
- 28:15SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 28:16SPEAKER_03: Oh, that's beautiful.
- 28:17SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 28:18SPEAKER_03: I think we all have been there.
- 28:20SPEAKER_03: Loneliness and desire.
- 28:21SPEAKER_03: I for sure have.
- 28:22SPEAKER_03: I think everyone has been in that.
- 28:25SPEAKER_03: You know,
- 28:26SPEAKER_03: loneliness can actually,
- 28:28SPEAKER_03: when you feel very alone,
- 28:30you are desired to more than what is compatible to your needs
- 28:35and your values and
- 28:36SPEAKER_03: boundaries because you're breadcrumb.
- 28:39SPEAKER_03: And you mix dopamine and chemistry for compatibility.
- 28:45SPEAKER_03: We have the three C's.
- 28:46SPEAKER_03: Compatibility, connection, chemistry.
- 28:49SPEAKER_03: The three C's.
- 28:50SPEAKER_03: Compatibility, connection, chemistry.
- 28:52SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 28:54SPEAKER_03: And we always need to work in that order.
- 28:56SPEAKER_03: Compatibility.
- 28:58SPEAKER_03: Who are you?
- 28:59SPEAKER_03: What do you want to do?
- 29:00SPEAKER_03: Where do you want to live?
- 29:01SPEAKER_03: Do you want to have children?
- 29:03SPEAKER_03: Do you want to marry?
- 29:04SPEAKER_03: What's your...
- 29:06SPEAKER_03: How do you look at the world,
- 29:07SPEAKER_03: the people,
- 29:09SPEAKER_03: your beliefs,
- 29:10SPEAKER_03: everything,
- 29:10SPEAKER_03: the sex,
- 29:11SPEAKER_03: everything is here.
- 29:12SPEAKER_03: Compatibility.
- 29:14SPEAKER_03: Connection, do we like each other?
- 29:15SPEAKER_03: And then the fire, the spark.
- 29:19SPEAKER_03: But most people go, of course, from fire, the spark.
- 29:23SPEAKER_03: And they don't look at compatibility at all.
- 29:27SPEAKER_03: So fire can be there for a year, one and a half.
- 29:31That's a stress for the body with all the dopamines and
- 29:35hormones that kicks in
- 29:36SPEAKER_03: where we are in love.
- 29:38We shouldn't even work where we are in love because we get a
- 29:42little bit stupid,
- 29:43right?
- 29:45SPEAKER_03: So we are here.
- 29:45SPEAKER_03: We get addicted to that.
- 29:47SPEAKER_03: But we need to actually work for compatibility.
- 29:51SPEAKER_03: But when we feel lonely, we don't even look at compatibility.
- 29:56SPEAKER_03: We don't even look at that.
- 29:57SPEAKER_03: That is so not interesting.
- 29:59SPEAKER_03: We look at only the temporary spark.
- 30:04SPEAKER_02: So you said compatibility, connection and chemistry, right?
- 30:07SPEAKER_03: Chemistry, yes.
- 30:09SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 30:09SPEAKER_03: So this is what happens.
- 30:11SPEAKER_03: Compatibility is not interesting at all.
- 30:14We go from the spark and we take the spark and we take the
- 30:18breadcrumbs and we fall
- 30:19SPEAKER_03: in love what we see.
- 30:22SPEAKER_03: We don't fall in love what is in the reality.
- 30:26SPEAKER_03: We see colors that is not there.
- 30:29SPEAKER_03: I see red when it's blue.
- 30:33SPEAKER_03: I have already painted my vision.
- 30:36SPEAKER_03: It doesn't matter actually what the other person is doing.
- 30:39SPEAKER_03: I have already painted my picture.
- 30:43SPEAKER_02: End of story.
- 30:44SPEAKER_03: I don't see it.
- 30:45SPEAKER_03: That's the difference.
- 30:47SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay.
- 30:48So if you don't start with compatibility and you're just in
- 30:52love and it's exciting,
- 30:54SPEAKER_02: it's a lot of chemistry,
- 30:55SPEAKER_02: a lot of hormones going on,
- 30:57SPEAKER_02: then you might actually also miss some red flag or even ignore red flags.
- 31:02SPEAKER_03: Oh, ignore, I would say.
- 31:03SPEAKER_03: Not miss.
- 31:04SPEAKER_03: You ignore them.
- 31:06SPEAKER_03: You see them, you ignore them.
- 31:08SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 31:09SPEAKER_03: Because being alone is so much worse.
- 31:12SPEAKER_03: It's so much worse to be alone than have a crumb.
- 31:16And sometimes when you also hear the attachment kicks in a
- 31:19little bit or you have rebound.
- 31:23SPEAKER_03: And we're all humans.
- 31:24SPEAKER_03: I mean, everyone has done a rebound.
- 31:26SPEAKER_03: It's fine.
- 31:26SPEAKER_03: You go from the spark.
- 31:27SPEAKER_03: You just want to forget the other person.
- 31:30SPEAKER_03: A little bit revenge in the whole of this.
- 31:32SPEAKER_03: So I know, I know.
- 31:34SPEAKER_03: We are not perfect.
- 31:36SPEAKER_03: But when we're looking for real love, we need to go from compatibility.
- 31:40SPEAKER_03: We actually need to have boundaries.
- 31:42SPEAKER_03: That's the most important thing.
- 31:43SPEAKER_03: What is your boundaries?
- 31:45SPEAKER_03: Needs and boundaries.
- 31:47SPEAKER_03: Needs and boundaries.
- 31:50SPEAKER_02: So your needs and boundaries.
- 31:51SPEAKER_02: And I guess you see people breaking that, right?
- 31:54SPEAKER_02: All the time.
- 31:54SPEAKER_02: Just ignoring their boundaries.
- 31:56SPEAKER_03: Yes, definitely.
- 31:59SPEAKER_03: And I do always like this.
- 32:01SPEAKER_03: You have the needs.
- 32:04SPEAKER_03: You look at your needs.
- 32:06SPEAKER_03: But to be in your needs, you actually also need to communicate them.
- 32:11SPEAKER_03: If you have needs, you need to tell them.
- 32:15SPEAKER_03: Maybe we have different love languages.
- 32:17SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 32:18You need to tell your needs so that we can understand our
- 32:21partner and also the fears.
- 32:24SPEAKER_03: But when it comes to boundaries,
- 32:25SPEAKER_03: we have deal breakers and they can never,
- 32:29SPEAKER_03: ever be negotiated about.
- 32:32SPEAKER_03: Like respect, how you treat people in real life.
- 32:37SPEAKER_03: If I'm dating someone that is not nice to the waiter,
- 32:39SPEAKER_03: for example,
- 32:40SPEAKER_03: that is such a huge red flag,
- 32:42SPEAKER_03: that's a deal breaker that cannot be accepted.
- 32:46So it doesn't matter if there are 90% in the compatibility and
- 32:51everything here in
- 32:51SPEAKER_03: the niche is perfect,
- 32:52SPEAKER_03: but that 1%,
- 32:55SPEAKER_03: that is a deal breaker.
- 32:56SPEAKER_03: That's a boundary.
- 32:59SPEAKER_02: That tells you who they are.
- 33:00SPEAKER_02: 100%.
- 33:00SPEAKER_03: So deal breakers and also respect.
- 33:05Let's say you get sick or something,
- 33:08or maybe you're just sad and you need to talk.
- 33:11SPEAKER_03: How is the other person reacting to that?
- 33:14SPEAKER_03: How emotionally available is that person?
- 33:18SPEAKER_01: Hmm.
- 33:19SPEAKER_03: And all of those boundaries, you need to stick to that.
- 33:23SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 33:24SPEAKER_03: So if we are now falling in love with love, there is no boundaries.
- 33:30SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
- 33:31SPEAKER_03: Hmm.
- 33:33Yeah,
- 33:35that's very deep because I guess a lot of people don't even
- 33:38think about that,
- 33:39right?
- 33:40SPEAKER_02: You like the person.
- 33:42SPEAKER_02: We laugh together.
- 33:43SPEAKER_02: We have common interests.
- 33:47SPEAKER_02: He's a nice guy.
- 33:48SPEAKER_02: She's a beautiful woman and so forth.
- 33:49SPEAKER_02: And then we start dating and then...
- 33:53SPEAKER_02: You know, they accept a lot of things in the beginning.
- 33:56SPEAKER_02: They don't even care about their boundaries.
- 33:58And then after a few months or maybe years,
- 34:01they try to change the other person.
- 34:03SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
- 34:04SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
- 34:05SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
- 34:06SPEAKER_03: That's exactly how it is.
- 34:07SPEAKER_03: That was very good.
- 34:08SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 34:09SPEAKER_03: We try to change people into what we want them to be.
- 34:12SPEAKER_03: We can never do that.
- 34:15SPEAKER_03: You can never change.
- 34:16SPEAKER_03: What you see is what you get.
- 34:18SPEAKER_03: We can compromise a little bit, but what you see is what you get.
- 34:21SPEAKER_03: And for me, life needs to meet the relationship.
- 34:25SPEAKER_03: It's not enough what is happening behind the doors.
- 34:30SPEAKER_03: What happens when the flight is too late or canceled even?
- 34:34SPEAKER_03: You're stuck at the airport.
- 34:35SPEAKER_03: How is the reaction from the other one?
- 34:38SPEAKER_03: How is the reaction when you,
- 34:40SPEAKER_03: exactly as I said with the waiter or something,
- 34:43SPEAKER_03: what is the reaction when you get sick?
- 34:44SPEAKER_03: What is happening?
- 34:46SPEAKER_03: That tells everything you need to know.
- 34:50so you need to know your boundaries never never negotiate with
- 34:54your boundaries then
- 34:57again it's shiftable right because we are growing as people so
- 35:01my boundaries today
- 35:01SPEAKER_02: may be different when I'm 60 I don't know but is it difficult to leave a
- 35:10relationship if you've been stuck for a long time in that
- 35:16relationship it is yeah
- 35:18SPEAKER_03: it's scary
- 35:20SPEAKER_01: Why is it so difficult?
- 35:22SPEAKER_03: It's scary because then you're in the empty space.
- 35:24SPEAKER_03: Let's say we are here in that relationship and to do a change,
- 35:30SPEAKER_03: you need to jump into the empty space first.
- 35:34SPEAKER_03: You're leaving something and even if it's bad, it's still safe somehow.
- 35:39SPEAKER_03: It's still that person.
- 35:41SPEAKER_03: And you leave that.
- 35:42SPEAKER_03: And now you need to find yourself without that person.
- 35:46SPEAKER_03: But also go into the empty space.
- 35:47SPEAKER_03: Who am I now?
- 35:48SPEAKER_03: Am I alone?
- 35:49SPEAKER_03: To then walk to the new and the shift and the change.
- 35:55SPEAKER_03: It's scary to be alone.
- 35:58SPEAKER_03: It can be.
- 35:59SPEAKER_02: So what do you tell people who right now perhaps are stuck in a...
- 36:06SPEAKER_02: not necessarily abusive relationship, but in a toxic relationship.
- 36:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 36:11SPEAKER_02: And they've been thinking about leaving for months or years.
- 36:15SPEAKER_02: What do you say to them?
- 36:18SPEAKER_03: I often ask them, who do you become with this person?
- 36:22SPEAKER_03: Because with that question, who do you become with that person?
- 36:27SPEAKER_03: Also with friends, you can ask that question.
- 36:29SPEAKER_03: Who do I become with these people, my circle?
- 36:33SPEAKER_03: And if the answer is...
- 36:36SPEAKER_03: I'm eggshelling.
- 36:38SPEAKER_03: I don't tell my emotions because I don't want a conflict.
- 36:42SPEAKER_03: I don't want to be gaslighted.
- 36:44SPEAKER_03: I don't want to have a fight.
- 36:47SPEAKER_03: Or I'm afraid to speak or voice because I'm afraid they will leave.
- 36:54SPEAKER_03: You have consequences in voicing yourself.
- 36:59SPEAKER_03: Then the answer is can only be leave.
- 37:01SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
- 37:04SPEAKER_03: But before you leave,
- 37:05I always want them to talk to their partner so that the partner
- 37:08knows what's going
- 37:09SPEAKER_03: on.
- 37:10SPEAKER_03: Because sometimes it's because your own fears,
- 37:13SPEAKER_03: the self-sabotaging that creates things that doesn't exist.
- 37:18So if you have all these feelings,
- 37:20you go to your partner and say,
- 37:22hey,
- 37:22this is how I'm feeling.
- 37:25SPEAKER_03: And then you look at the response because that's information.
- 37:28And when you get the information,
- 37:29you can validate and then you can make a statement.
- 37:32SPEAKER_03: But without asking questions, it's actually not information.
- 37:37SPEAKER_03: You need to ask if it's not like a narcissistic behavior now.
- 37:40SPEAKER_03: But if I'm not feeling seen by my partner, maybe he's not touching me.
- 37:45SPEAKER_03: And I don't voice that.
- 37:48SPEAKER_03: Maybe for him, he doesn't see that.
- 37:51SPEAKER_03: Maybe he has a different love language.
- 37:53SPEAKER_03: I need to voice it, look at the answer, then validate.
- 37:59SPEAKER_03: But if there is eggshelling and you don't get validated as you want,
- 38:02SPEAKER_03: yeah,
- 38:03SPEAKER_03: you're not compatible.
- 38:04SPEAKER_03: You need to leave.
- 38:08SPEAKER_02: But talk to your partner first.
- 38:09SPEAKER_02: Always.
- 38:10SPEAKER_03: You always need to voice it first.
- 38:12SPEAKER_03: If it's not abusive, of course, that's something different.
- 38:17SPEAKER_03: If it's abusive, there is no talk and let's just leave it.
- 38:21SPEAKER_01: Just leave.
- 38:22SPEAKER_01: Of course.
- 38:22SPEAKER_03: Of course.
- 38:23SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 38:23SPEAKER_03: It's easier said than done.
- 38:26SPEAKER_03: But abusive, we don't do that.
- 38:28SPEAKER_03: We don't do that.
- 38:29SPEAKER_03: So then you need to leave.
- 38:31SPEAKER_02: You can't talk with somebody who is oppressing you.
- 38:33SPEAKER_02: Of course not.
- 38:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 38:35SPEAKER_02: Of course not.
- 38:36SPEAKER_03: You should never be with someone like that.
- 38:39SPEAKER_02: No.
- 38:40SPEAKER_02: Unfortunately, it's pretty common.
- 38:42SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 38:42SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 38:44SPEAKER_02: Abusive relationships.
- 38:45SPEAKER_03: And it can be abusive.
- 38:47SPEAKER_03: How can I say it?
- 38:48SPEAKER_03: I have also been in relationships that are definitely not abusive,
- 38:52SPEAKER_03: especially one I had in my past.
- 38:55SPEAKER_03: Not abusive, but the reactions when I spoke my mind was too difficult.
- 39:02SPEAKER_03: Not in violence, but it was more like silence.
- 39:06SPEAKER_03: Stonewalling.
- 39:08SPEAKER_03: So I didn't have the strength to have that stonewalling faces.
- 39:14SPEAKER_03: I was more quiet.
- 39:16SPEAKER_03: That is toxic.
- 39:19SPEAKER_03: So it doesn't have to be violence, violence.
- 39:21SPEAKER_03: It can just be a toxic relationship.
- 39:26SPEAKER_02: That can be very, very difficult and frustrating.
- 39:29SPEAKER_03: Silence is the worst.
- 39:31SPEAKER_03: I mean,
- 39:32SPEAKER_03: no,
- 39:32SPEAKER_03: I won't say the worst because we still have abuse in different kinds,
- 39:35SPEAKER_03: but silence and ghosting,
- 39:39SPEAKER_03: stonewalling,
- 39:40SPEAKER_03: that is just an abuse.
- 39:45SPEAKER_03: It gives the other person a feeling of doing it wrong.
- 39:51SPEAKER_03: The mind gets always its self-blame.
- 39:53SPEAKER_03: What did I do?
- 39:54SPEAKER_03: No, I shouldn't have said that, et cetera, et cetera.
- 39:58SPEAKER_03: Stonewalling is very common.
- 40:00SPEAKER_03: Today in the society, from the apps, you gaslight, you ghost.
- 40:06SPEAKER_03: It's normal today.
- 40:10SPEAKER_03: And it comes from the dating apps.
- 40:12SPEAKER_02: Is it common that people go on a date and then they just don't reply?
- 40:19SPEAKER_02: Of course.
- 40:20SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 40:20SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 40:22SPEAKER_03: Oh, you can go in one day, two days.
- 40:25SPEAKER_03: I think the society is so fast and the respect is just not there anymore.
- 40:31SPEAKER_03: So when you are online and swiping,
- 40:35SPEAKER_03: You sit there Sunday evening, you're a bit bored.
- 40:38SPEAKER_03: You talk to two people, three people, four people, but yeah, it's nice.
- 40:41SPEAKER_03: But on Monday, you're in a different mood, so you just go sit.
- 40:45SPEAKER_03: We don't communicate today.
- 40:48SPEAKER_03: It's just too, it takes too much time.
- 40:51SPEAKER_03: You need to listen to someone else's emotion.
- 40:53SPEAKER_03: You need to, you know, explain yourself.
- 40:57SPEAKER_03: So I don't know, it's just a fast society.
- 41:00SPEAKER_03: Very disrespectful.
- 41:03SPEAKER_02: It sounds very disrespectful.
- 41:06SPEAKER_02: I mean,
- 41:07SPEAKER_02: if we've been invested,
- 41:08let's say for two weeks of talking and writing and we've been
- 41:12going out for a week
- 41:13SPEAKER_02: or two,
- 41:14SPEAKER_02: and then you just ghost somebody because you don't have,
- 41:18SPEAKER_02: is it because people don't have the courage to say,
- 41:21SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry,
- 41:21SPEAKER_02: this is not working for me?
- 41:23SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 41:24SPEAKER_02: Or is it just time?
- 41:26SPEAKER_03: It's both.
- 41:27SPEAKER_03: And also to leave a door a little bit open.
- 41:29SPEAKER_03: Because if you don't close it,
- 41:31SPEAKER_03: you can always come back and say,
- 41:33SPEAKER_03: sorry,
- 41:34SPEAKER_03: I've been in the shower or something.
- 41:35SPEAKER_03: You know, you can always come back and say, I've been so busy with work.
- 41:39SPEAKER_03: You don't really close it.
- 41:41SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 41:42SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 41:44SPEAKER_02: Okay,
- 41:45SPEAKER_02: so you just move on and you look for somebody,
- 41:47SPEAKER_02: you look for something else more interesting in case you don't find it.
- 41:51SPEAKER_03: Yeah, exactly.
- 41:52SPEAKER_02: You can always go back to that other person.
- 41:56SPEAKER_03: You can, if you don't close it.
- 41:57SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 41:59SPEAKER_03: But I think also it's the owning it.
- 42:03SPEAKER_03: We don't owe it.
- 42:04SPEAKER_03: We don't own up to it.
- 42:06SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 42:07SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
- 42:09SPEAKER_02: And for the person who is perhaps,
- 42:11SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 42:11SPEAKER_02: the attachment styles you talked about earlier,
- 42:13SPEAKER_02: the nervous,
- 42:14SPEAKER_02: the anxious.
- 42:15SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
- 42:17SPEAKER_02: They're waiting for that response.
- 42:18SPEAKER_02: And then as soon as you write,
- 42:20they're probably going to forgive you and go back on a third
- 42:23date or fourth date.
- 42:25SPEAKER_03: 100%.
- 42:25SPEAKER_03: This is the thing that I said about the ball.
- 42:28SPEAKER_03: When it comes back, it's like, whew, it comes back.
- 42:30SPEAKER_03: It was nothing wrong with me.
- 42:32SPEAKER_03: There's nothing wrong with me.
- 42:33SPEAKER_03: They were, of course, busy.
- 42:34SPEAKER_03: You make all these excuses.
- 42:38SPEAKER_03: And when I talk to my clients about this,
- 42:41SPEAKER_03: they often get very triggered when I say this because to them,
- 42:45SPEAKER_03: it's real love.
- 42:47SPEAKER_03: So when I pinpoint it, they get very, very offensive.
- 42:51SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 42:54SPEAKER_02: So they become offended.
- 42:56SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 42:57SPEAKER_02: But do they internalize and accept your message after a while?
- 43:02SPEAKER_03: After a while, yes.
- 43:04SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 43:05SPEAKER_03: I need to be very humble, but also very hard to them.
- 43:10SPEAKER_03: I need to hold them because they need to be held, feel secure.
- 43:16SPEAKER_03: You know, I'm here, I'm talking to you.
- 43:18SPEAKER_03: I want you to see this,
- 43:20SPEAKER_03: but it's very difficult to see your own pattern,
- 43:23SPEAKER_03: how you are actually taking out piece by piece from yourself,
- 43:28SPEAKER_03: your own energy,
- 43:29SPEAKER_03: your own core to please someone else.
- 43:33SPEAKER_03: And that is the only way you know how to love.
- 43:36SPEAKER_03: And this all comes down to resentment.
- 43:38SPEAKER_03: You go to bed, you will resent yourself every time you go to bed.
- 43:43SPEAKER_03: Because you know that you are going to a yes when you want to go to a no.
- 43:50SPEAKER_02: What do you mean by that?
- 43:51SPEAKER_02: You want to go to yes when you want to?
- 43:52SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you say yes when you're inside.
- 43:55SPEAKER_03: You say no in your body, your soul, your heart.
- 43:58SPEAKER_03: You say no, I don't want this.
- 44:00SPEAKER_03: I need more.
- 44:01SPEAKER_03: I need to be valued and respected.
- 44:03SPEAKER_03: But yet you accept and forgive and accept and forgive.
- 44:06SPEAKER_03: You do that in actions.
- 44:08And then you go to bed and you resent yourself for saying yes
- 44:12when you feel the no so strong.
- 44:16Oh,
- 44:16so your body is already telling you,
- 44:19you know it deep down,
- 44:20what you want.
- 44:21SPEAKER_03: Yeah, 100.
- 44:23SPEAKER_03: Of course you do.
- 44:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 44:24SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 44:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 44:25SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 44:26SPEAKER_02: And the interesting thing,
- 44:27SPEAKER_02: I think,
- 44:28SPEAKER_02: is when we are needy,
- 44:32SPEAKER_02: when we don't have boundaries,
- 44:34SPEAKER_02: when we over-forgive...
- 44:38SPEAKER_02: Because I think forgiving and moving on is something else.
- 44:41SPEAKER_02: But when we over-forgive, we're always available.
- 44:44SPEAKER_02: We don't prioritize ourselves.
- 44:46SPEAKER_02: The other person is just going to take us for granted.
- 44:49SPEAKER_03: Definitely.
- 44:50SPEAKER_03: We are teaching people how to treat us.
- 44:53SPEAKER_03: And the more you give, the less the other person will give.
- 44:57SPEAKER_03: And this is, I think, in all relationships.
- 45:00SPEAKER_03: Because if you over-give, the other one gets comfortable.
- 45:07SPEAKER_03: Passive.
- 45:09SPEAKER_03: If you do everything, they don't need to do it.
- 45:11SPEAKER_03: And that will end up in disrespect.
- 45:14SPEAKER_03: Because we do not respect people who doesn't have boundaries.
- 45:20SPEAKER_03: Maybe in the beginning.
- 45:21SPEAKER_02: So you might be dealing with somebody who is a good person,
- 45:26SPEAKER_02: but you're teaching them how to treat you.
- 45:28SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 45:29SPEAKER_02: Because you're not allowing them to...
- 45:32SPEAKER_02: give you back or to create a mutual relationship.
- 45:36SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 45:37SPEAKER_03: And look at children, look at animals.
- 45:40SPEAKER_03: And also us as grownups, we want boundaries.
- 45:44SPEAKER_03: If I meet a man and he has no boundaries, I can do whatever I want.
- 45:48SPEAKER_03: I can come and go as I please, can be out.
- 45:51SPEAKER_03: I can do anything.
- 45:52SPEAKER_03: I can chat with different men.
- 45:54SPEAKER_03: He doesn't, he has no boundaries.
- 45:56SPEAKER_03: I will not feel loved and I will find him pretty uninteresting.
- 46:02SPEAKER_03: So to feel loved, I also need some boundaries, right?
- 46:06Even if the other person is,
- 46:08because sometimes,
- 46:08you know,
- 46:09they resist your boundaries.
- 46:12SPEAKER_02: But even if they're resisting, they're actually respecting you more.
- 46:17SPEAKER_03: Yes, definitely.
- 46:18SPEAKER_03: Definitely.
- 46:20SPEAKER_02: Isn't that interesting?
- 46:21SPEAKER_03: It is.
- 46:23SPEAKER_03: It is in all communication.
- 46:25SPEAKER_03: But I think in the whole communication we have when it comes to love,
- 46:29SPEAKER_03: it comes down to if you are afraid to lose or not.
- 46:33SPEAKER_03: Ish, lose, I'm doing.
- 46:35SPEAKER_03: Ish, lose.
- 46:36SPEAKER_03: Because to me, it's not losing.
- 46:37SPEAKER_03: It's just two puzzle pieces, not a fit.
- 46:41SPEAKER_03: But when we are so afraid of losing, we don't speak our voice.
- 46:46SPEAKER_03: Right?
- 46:47SPEAKER_03: But if we do that and say, hey, I need more.
- 46:50I actually need physical touch or I need you to respond when I
- 46:54text you or I need
- 46:56SPEAKER_03: to see you more than once a month.
- 46:58If we speak that,
- 47:00maybe the other will say,
- 47:01yeah,
- 47:02that's not a fit for me.
- 47:03SPEAKER_03: And then you will each lose.
- 47:05SPEAKER_03: But if you don't say it, you end up in resentment and disrespect.
- 47:11SPEAKER_02: So communication obviously is vital here.
- 47:16SPEAKER_02: Let's talk about men and women.
- 47:18SPEAKER_02: And if we start with men,
- 47:21what do you think men struggle to communicate in dating and
- 47:25relationships?
- 47:27SPEAKER_03: Oh, you tell me.
- 47:30SPEAKER_02: You tell me.
- 47:32SPEAKER_03: You're the expert.
- 47:34SPEAKER_03: I think men struggle with the emotional part.
- 47:39SPEAKER_03: to make the woman feel seen.
- 47:43SPEAKER_03: Because women want to be seen, right?
- 47:46So this may be the struggle that the men actually have to be
- 47:51connected to the
- 47:52SPEAKER_03: emotion and actually validate the woman so that she feels feminine,
- 47:59SPEAKER_03: actually,
- 48:00SPEAKER_03: and also seen.
- 48:02SPEAKER_03: Maybe they take that emotional part a little bit too gradually.
- 48:06SPEAKER_03: Women need to speak.
- 48:08Women need to speak their minds,
- 48:10speak their emotions and progress and definitely feeling seen.
- 48:16SPEAKER_03: And I can see that lack in many, many ways.
- 48:19SPEAKER_03: men, if I can tell.
- 48:21SPEAKER_03: And also maybe a bit passive.
- 48:24SPEAKER_03: Women want men to take the leadership a little bit, most often.
- 48:29SPEAKER_03: When men get too passive, like a little bit albandy, it's boring.
- 48:35SPEAKER_03: So that is the men side.
- 48:39So what I hear you say is men need to communicate more what
- 48:43they're thinking and
- 48:44SPEAKER_02: their emotions and also
- 48:48SPEAKER_02: Be more of a leader.
- 48:50SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 48:52SPEAKER_02: Can you explain a little bit more?
- 48:53SPEAKER_02: Can you give me more examples?
- 48:54SPEAKER_03: Leader, I don't mean dominant because we are different.
- 48:57SPEAKER_03: A leader, I mean protector so that the woman feels safe.
- 49:03SPEAKER_03: And this, of course, is not for every woman.
- 49:06SPEAKER_03: I go to general speaking now.
- 49:08SPEAKER_03: But generally, the woman wants to feel safe.
- 49:11So if the man cannot show her safety,
- 49:15like if something happens,
- 49:16I protect you.
- 49:18The woman would put the trousers on and act more in the
- 49:21masculine energy.
- 49:22SPEAKER_03: And now we have this thing again that we are not in the polarity.
- 49:28SPEAKER_03: So I think for men, it's very important to make the woman feel safe.
- 49:34Even if it's a woman that has 18 companies in the CEOs or like
- 49:39very driven in work,
- 49:41SPEAKER_03: she still needs to feel safe and protected.
- 49:48SPEAKER_02: Is it also being safe in how you handle your emotions?
- 49:52SPEAKER_03: It is.
- 49:54SPEAKER_02: Or is it just protecting from violence and other things?
- 49:57SPEAKER_03: No, also the emotion that she can speak her mind.
- 50:00SPEAKER_03: I feel sad.
- 50:01SPEAKER_03: I feel joy.
- 50:02SPEAKER_03: I need this.
- 50:04SPEAKER_03: Can you see me like this?
- 50:06SPEAKER_03: Can you meet me like this?
- 50:08SPEAKER_03: You don't need to agree.
- 50:10SPEAKER_03: You don't need to agree.
- 50:11SPEAKER_03: This is something different, but you need to listen.
- 50:13SPEAKER_03: You need to listen so that a woman feels heard.
- 50:18SPEAKER_03: That's very important for a woman.
- 50:21SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 50:24SPEAKER_03: But agreeing is something different.
- 50:25SPEAKER_03: I will say that one more time because we cannot agree on everything.
- 50:29SPEAKER_03: But if we just feel heard, it helps the feminine definitely.
- 50:37SPEAKER_02: Well, I guess we can disagree in a respectful way.
- 50:41SPEAKER_02: Absolutely, yeah.
- 50:43SPEAKER_02: And so should men talk more how they're feeling?
- 50:51SPEAKER_02: Is that an advice here?
- 50:53SPEAKER_02: Should we talk more?
- 50:54SPEAKER_02: Should we communicate more and so forth?
- 50:57SPEAKER_03: Yes, yes.
- 50:59SPEAKER_03: And also listen.
- 51:01SPEAKER_03: Because here in this dynamic, the women speak a little bit more.
- 51:05SPEAKER_03: I would guess, about feelings.
- 51:08SPEAKER_03: And the man can listen to that and be present in that.
- 51:11SPEAKER_03: But for a woman, these feelings... Be present.
- 51:14SPEAKER_02: Yeah, exactly.
- 51:14SPEAKER_02: Be present.
- 51:15SPEAKER_03: Be present, yes, and be consistent.
- 51:19SPEAKER_03: When a woman has a man that is consistent, she will feel safe.
- 51:23SPEAKER_03: It's not about going out, you know, shooting people for her.
- 51:27SPEAKER_03: You know, it's not the violence that is here.
- 51:30SPEAKER_03: It's just the protective part.
- 51:34SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the present part.
- 51:37SPEAKER_01: Psychological safety.
- 51:38SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
- 51:40SPEAKER_01: Right?
- 51:40SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 51:41SPEAKER_01: Psychological safety.
- 51:42SPEAKER_01: Yes, exactly.
- 51:43SPEAKER_03: You don't need to be the help here.
- 51:45SPEAKER_03: Definitely not.
- 51:46SPEAKER_03: It's not about that at all.
- 51:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 51:51SPEAKER_02: Very interesting.
- 51:52SPEAKER_02: What about women?
- 51:54SPEAKER_03: We don't do anything.
- 51:56SPEAKER_03: No, we don't struggle with anything.
- 51:57SPEAKER_03: No, you don't struggle with anything.
- 51:59SPEAKER_03: No, no, no.
- 52:00SPEAKER_03: We have nothing.
- 52:01SPEAKER_02: I thought so.
- 52:02SPEAKER_03: We are perfect.
- 52:05SPEAKER_02: I thought so, yeah.
- 52:07SPEAKER_02: So we can just move on.
- 52:08SPEAKER_03: We can move on.
- 52:08SPEAKER_03: Next question.
- 52:10SPEAKER_03: No, I think women can nag.
- 52:14SPEAKER_03: Women can have a tendency to speak the negative and not the positive.
- 52:20SPEAKER_03: That is just in the women's neurotic mind a little bit.
- 52:23So women is actually to learn how to communicate a little bit
- 52:28more pragmatic so
- 52:29SPEAKER_03: that women can reach the man.
- 52:31Because when the woman always speaks in these neurotic terms,
- 52:35you didn't...
- 52:37the man shuts down you know it shuts off so if you just meet
- 52:42the man with a little
- 52:44bit of you know thinking pragmatic and logic and not so
- 52:50negative and say hey you
- 52:52know what I love this about you because you men are like
- 52:56children a little bit so
- 52:57if you say yeah if you say I love this about you but can you
- 53:02think about bum bum
- 53:03SPEAKER_03: bum so it's not so aggressive
- 53:06SPEAKER_03: Because then you reach the man.
- 53:08SPEAKER_03: Man needs to feel respected and that you're grateful.
- 53:13SPEAKER_03: So if you pick up your wife,
- 53:17SPEAKER_03: if you're married,
- 53:18SPEAKER_03: your wife,
- 53:19SPEAKER_03: yeah,
- 53:20SPEAKER_03: you pick up her when it's rainy outside.
- 53:22SPEAKER_03: And she says, thank you so much for picking me up when it's rainy.
- 53:26SPEAKER_03: You feel valuable.
- 53:28SPEAKER_03: You feel that she doesn't take you for granted.
- 53:31SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 53:32But if she doesn't say anything,
- 53:33okay,
- 53:34you know,
- 53:35the man loses it a little bit.
- 53:37SPEAKER_03: And when he loses it,
- 53:38SPEAKER_03: he will not meet her to feeling seen because now we have,
- 53:43SPEAKER_03: it comes a cut in the dynamic.
- 53:46So the woman here needs to actually respect her man and to be
- 53:51grateful in many
- 53:52SPEAKER_03: senses so that he feels,
- 53:54SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 53:55SPEAKER_03: masculine in that sense,
- 53:56SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 53:57SPEAKER_03: respected.
- 53:58SPEAKER_03: This comes, look at the first date and we take the, who is going to pay?
- 54:05SPEAKER_03: Who's going to pay the first date?
- 54:06SPEAKER_03: I said the man should pay the first date, but that's my opinion.
- 54:09SPEAKER_03: That is not what's correct.
- 54:11SPEAKER_03: That is no.
- 54:12SPEAKER_02: That's also my opinion.
- 54:14SPEAKER_03: And I'm only talking about the first date and it can be a coffee.
- 54:17SPEAKER_03: It doesn't have to be champagne and caviar.
- 54:20SPEAKER_03: It can be just a coffee.
- 54:22SPEAKER_03: but get the coffee for the woman.
- 54:24SPEAKER_03: But also the woman needs to try to pay.
- 54:28And the man says,
- 54:29okay,
- 54:30no,
- 54:30but if she takes it for granted,
- 54:32we have the same problem.
- 54:34SPEAKER_03: If she's just, you know, you should do it, you pay.
- 54:37SPEAKER_03: That is not nice.
- 54:39SPEAKER_03: So she needs to make him feel, thank you, you know?
- 54:44SPEAKER_03: And now he is there.
- 54:46SPEAKER_03: This is a mistake I see with women.
- 54:49SPEAKER_03: So we have two different sides.
- 54:52When you say they need,
- 54:54I mean,
- 54:54show respect,
- 54:55it doesn't mean,
- 54:55you know,
- 54:56be subservient.
- 54:57SPEAKER_02: It just means how we talk to each other.
- 55:01SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 55:02SPEAKER_02: In a respectful tone.
- 55:03SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 55:03SPEAKER_02: But also giving, showing respect with your language.
- 55:13SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 55:14SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 55:15But it's different because we come from,
- 55:18let's say the man comes from here and the woman comes.
- 55:21SPEAKER_03: We're doing a video.
- 55:22SPEAKER_03: The man comes from here and the woman comes from here.
- 55:24SPEAKER_03: And we want to go to the middle here.
- 55:27SPEAKER_03: And the woman will show the man more and more respect if he feels,
- 55:32SPEAKER_03: when she feels that he sees her.
- 55:34And she feels like,
- 55:36yeah,
- 55:37you're paying attention,
- 55:38you're present,
- 55:38you're consistent.
- 55:39SPEAKER_03: Now she's losing the guard and letting you in.
- 55:43And the man will feel the same and can meet her with her
- 55:47emotions when he feels
- 55:48SPEAKER_03: respected and not taking for granted.
- 55:51SPEAKER_03: That when he feels that there is a gratefulness involved.
- 55:56SPEAKER_03: Thank you.
- 55:57SPEAKER_03: Because many women today take so much for granted.
- 56:00SPEAKER_03: It should be like this.
- 56:01SPEAKER_03: And that is also wrong.
- 56:03And the Navradic side from the woman should also tone down a
- 56:06little bit to talk,
- 56:08SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 56:08SPEAKER_03: more,
- 56:09SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 56:09SPEAKER_03: I feel like this.
- 56:10SPEAKER_03: How do you feel?
- 56:12When I do that conversation with a man,
- 56:14I always say,
- 56:15you know what,
- 56:16this is how I feel.
- 56:17SPEAKER_03: I don't know if I misinterpreted something, but this is how I feel.
- 56:23Because just because I feel something,
- 56:26it doesn't have to be in real life.
- 56:29SPEAKER_03: The truth, it can be my attachment styles, my fears, my self-sabotage.
- 56:32SPEAKER_03: So I say, this is how I feel.
- 56:35SPEAKER_03: What do you think about it?
- 56:36SPEAKER_03: And I always use the word think, not feel, because now I can connect.
- 56:44And then the man says,
- 56:45okay,
- 56:45I think about it like this,
- 56:47and now I can reach him.
- 56:48SPEAKER_03: If I say, I feel like this, and you made me feel, he's not listening.
- 56:54SPEAKER_03: Right?
- 56:55SPEAKER_03: This is biologic.
- 56:56SPEAKER_03: This is the DNA.
- 56:58SPEAKER_03: And he should do the opposite.
- 57:00SPEAKER_03: You know what?
- 57:01SPEAKER_03: How do you feel about this?
- 57:02SPEAKER_03: And she will be, wow, yes, I feel like this and this.
- 57:08SPEAKER_03: You see, easy when you know the keys.
- 57:12SPEAKER_02: Easy when you know the keys,
- 57:14but I guess it's difficult when you are stressed out and you
- 57:18don't have time or sad
- 57:20SPEAKER_02: or emotional or angry or whatever.
- 57:24SPEAKER_03: As always.
- 57:26SPEAKER_02: Hmm.
- 57:26SPEAKER_03: But I actually,
- 57:27SPEAKER_03: when I fight,
- 57:28SPEAKER_03: my fight language and also what I teach,
- 57:31SPEAKER_03: I always do like this when I'm really,
- 57:32SPEAKER_03: really angry.
- 57:33SPEAKER_03: I can often say, I love you, but...
- 57:39SPEAKER_03: The but is not good.
- 57:40SPEAKER_03: I know that.
- 57:40SPEAKER_03: But is never good.
- 57:42SPEAKER_03: But it's just to me,
- 57:43SPEAKER_03: because I come from this anxious attachment,
- 57:47SPEAKER_03: I never want anyone to doubt that I still love.
- 57:51SPEAKER_03: It's the action I don't like.
- 57:52SPEAKER_03: It's not the person I don't love.
- 57:54SPEAKER_03: It's the action that I don't love.
- 57:55SPEAKER_03: It's a big difference.
- 57:57SPEAKER_03: And often we pinpoint in communication the person.
- 58:02I don't love this and this and this and I hate this and this
- 58:04and this and I
- 58:04SPEAKER_03: disagree with that and that.
- 58:05SPEAKER_03: But
- 58:06SPEAKER_03: It's the action you don't like.
- 58:09SPEAKER_03: It has nothing to do with the person.
- 58:10SPEAKER_03: You're not going anywhere.
- 58:12SPEAKER_03: You just don't like this action.
- 58:15SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 58:17SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 58:18SPEAKER_02: Do you think people don't know how to argue, how to fight?
- 58:21SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 58:23SPEAKER_03: We have different fight languages.
- 58:26SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 58:27SPEAKER_03: We have love languages, five.
- 58:29SPEAKER_03: We have five love languages and we have fight languages.
- 58:36SPEAKER_03: And do you know the love languages?
- 58:41SPEAKER_02: I think there's a book, but I haven't read it.
- 58:45SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 58:45SPEAKER_03: We have physical touch.
- 58:50SPEAKER_03: And we have words of affirmations.
- 58:53SPEAKER_03: We have time...
- 58:54SPEAKER_03: And we have gifts and we have act of services,
- 58:58like coming with a coffee or picking up your package so that
- 59:01when you're stressed.
- 59:04SPEAKER_03: And if we don't speak the same,
- 59:06SPEAKER_03: let's say I have a relationship or date and he gives me gifts,
- 59:11SPEAKER_03: but he never touches me.
- 59:14But maybe he says,
- 59:15I love you with the gifts,
- 59:17but he never touches me like the small kisses.
- 59:20SPEAKER_03: So I don't feel loved, even if he maybe does and do.
- 59:25SPEAKER_03: And now we need to speak.
- 59:27SPEAKER_03: What's your love language?
- 59:30SPEAKER_03: Oh, okay.
- 59:30SPEAKER_03: So you never want to touch.
- 59:31SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 59:32SPEAKER_03: Then we're not compatible.
- 59:35SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
- 59:35SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 59:36SPEAKER_03: Or can I compromise?
- 59:38SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 59:39SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 59:40SPEAKER_03: And the same with fights.
- 59:42I mean,
- 59:42if you're not willing to compromise with a kiss or a touch,
- 59:45really.
- 59:46SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I agree.
- 59:48SPEAKER_03: I agree.
- 59:49SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 59:50SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 59:50SPEAKER_02: But I guess instead of saying,
- 59:53SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 59:54SPEAKER_02: this is what I need to feel loved,
- 59:57SPEAKER_02: we attack each other.
- 59:58SPEAKER_02: Oh, you're not romantic.
- 1:00:00SPEAKER_02: You never do this.
- 1:00:01SPEAKER_02: You never did that.
- 1:00:02SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 1:00:02SPEAKER_02: And the other person is talking about something completely different.
- 1:00:05SPEAKER_02: You know, well, I do this for you.
- 1:00:06SPEAKER_02: And then now we're attacking each other.
- 1:00:08SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:00:08SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:00:09SPEAKER_02: instead of talking about our needs and what we need from each other.
- 1:00:13SPEAKER_03: Yes, because we project.
- 1:00:15SPEAKER_03: We often work with projections.
- 1:00:17SPEAKER_03: So what I feel, I want you to feel.
- 1:00:21So if I say I miss you and you don't say it back,
- 1:00:24I get,
- 1:00:24why don't you say I miss you?
- 1:00:25SPEAKER_03: I said I miss you.
- 1:00:27SPEAKER_03: I want transaction immediately.
- 1:00:29SPEAKER_03: I come home and I,
- 1:00:30SPEAKER_03: in my mind,
- 1:00:31SPEAKER_03: think,
- 1:00:31SPEAKER_03: oh,
- 1:00:31there will be candle lights and stuff when I come home because
- 1:00:34maybe I would do
- 1:00:35SPEAKER_03: that.
- 1:00:36SPEAKER_03: And I come home and he's in the shower.
- 1:00:38SPEAKER_03: And I, what?
- 1:00:39SPEAKER_03: What is happening here?
- 1:00:40SPEAKER_03: You'd never do anything romantic for me.
- 1:00:42SPEAKER_03: But he, he doesn't know my script.
- 1:00:45SPEAKER_03: Only I do.
- 1:00:45SPEAKER_03: Only I know my script, right?
- 1:00:48SPEAKER_03: So this fight language that we have, some people need space.
- 1:00:54When you are really angry and disappointed and hurt,
- 1:00:58there are some people needing space.
- 1:01:01SPEAKER_03: You know,
- 1:01:01SPEAKER_03: two hours,
- 1:01:02SPEAKER_03: three hours,
- 1:01:02SPEAKER_03: four hours,
- 1:01:03SPEAKER_03: maybe till the next day to calm down and to think.
- 1:01:07SPEAKER_03: And then we have explosive people.
- 1:01:09They want to,
- 1:01:10you know,
- 1:01:11take the talk immediately,
- 1:01:13solve it,
- 1:01:14talk about it,
- 1:01:15scream about it.
- 1:01:17SPEAKER_03: So now we have two difference here.
- 1:01:18SPEAKER_03: The one walk away and the one coming after screaming.
- 1:01:22SPEAKER_03: We need to talk about that.
- 1:01:24We need to talk about how do you react when we are not,
- 1:01:28you know,
- 1:01:29when we are fighting.
- 1:01:30SPEAKER_03: What do you need when we are fighting?
- 1:01:33It's not so hard to give someone a bit space if the person
- 1:01:36needing space says,
- 1:01:38SPEAKER_03: give me space until five o'clock.
- 1:01:41SPEAKER_03: Now the anxious knows, okay, five o'clock we will talk.
- 1:01:45SPEAKER_03: I can sit in the boat.
- 1:01:46SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:01:48SPEAKER_03: So fight languages is more important than love language.
- 1:01:53SPEAKER_02: Hmm.
- 1:01:55SPEAKER_02: This is very interesting, Quina.
- 1:01:57SPEAKER_03: There is so much.
- 1:01:59SPEAKER_02: We could talk about this for hours.
- 1:02:01SPEAKER_02: This is very interesting.
- 1:02:03For somebody right now listening who perhaps is single or would
- 1:02:07like to communicate
- 1:02:10SPEAKER_02: with the opposite sex or go on a date and so forth,
- 1:02:14why do you think approaching someone we are interested in is so
- 1:02:19difficult?
- 1:02:20SPEAKER_03: Oh, rejection.
- 1:02:20SPEAKER_03: Rejection.
- 1:02:22SPEAKER_03: Fear of rejection.
- 1:02:25You know,
- 1:02:25I think people need to be better to navigate with rejection in
- 1:02:30general.
- 1:02:31SPEAKER_03: Because life is more rejection than a yes.
- 1:02:36SPEAKER_03: You apply for a job, you will get more no's than yes.
- 1:02:40SPEAKER_03: Everything in life is, I think, so much rejections.
- 1:02:44SPEAKER_03: If you see it right, it can be redirections as well, as we say.
- 1:02:49SPEAKER_03: But people don't approach because they're so afraid of being rejected.
- 1:02:57SPEAKER_03: And that's sad because to me, you're not rejected.
- 1:03:01SPEAKER_03: For me to be rejected, you need to know me.
- 1:03:05SPEAKER_03: You need to know me first, and then maybe you can reject me.
- 1:03:07SPEAKER_03: But even then, it's just not compatible.
- 1:03:11SPEAKER_03: Or I'm self-sabotaging,
- 1:03:13SPEAKER_03: so I need to heal something,
- 1:03:16SPEAKER_03: change something,
- 1:03:17SPEAKER_03: shift something in myself.
- 1:03:19But if I approach someone in the coffee shop or in the after
- 1:03:23work or in that party
- 1:03:24SPEAKER_03: or in that work and I get a no,
- 1:03:27SPEAKER_03: that is not rejection.
- 1:03:29SPEAKER_03: We don't know anything about that person's story.
- 1:03:31Maybe they are having a rough time at home or maybe they are
- 1:03:35just separated or just
- 1:03:36SPEAKER_03: started to date someone or I don't know.
- 1:03:39SPEAKER_03: Maybe they are just not attracted.
- 1:03:40SPEAKER_03: That is not a rejection, right?
- 1:03:44SPEAKER_02: Hmm.
- 1:03:44SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:03:45SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:03:46SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:03:47I heard one time,
- 1:03:48I don't know who it is,
- 1:03:49but it was a dating coach on YouTube.
- 1:03:53SPEAKER_02: I think he said something like, you know, rejection doesn't really exist.
- 1:03:58Like if I ask you out for a date or if I would like to borrow
- 1:04:02money from you and
- 1:04:04SPEAKER_02: you say no,
- 1:04:06is it really rejection or is it more of the fact that you don't
- 1:04:11have what I'm
- 1:04:12SPEAKER_02: looking for?
- 1:04:12SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
- 1:04:13SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
- 1:04:15SPEAKER_03: Very good.
- 1:04:15SPEAKER_03: I love it.
- 1:04:17SPEAKER_03: I love it.
- 1:04:17SPEAKER_03: And this is the ego.
- 1:04:19SPEAKER_03: We need to crush the ego as well.
- 1:04:20SPEAKER_03: We have the wounded part, but we also have ego.
- 1:04:23SPEAKER_03: That's immense.
- 1:04:24SPEAKER_03: Crush the ego.
- 1:04:26SPEAKER_03: Why do you need that person to say yes?
- 1:04:30SPEAKER_03: Maybe it's just interesting.
- 1:04:32SPEAKER_03: Maybe you get 10 no's and then 11 you get a yes.
- 1:04:36SPEAKER_03: It's just to try something, to talk to someone and to approach someone.
- 1:04:41SPEAKER_03: And no matter what's happening, you still did it.
- 1:04:44SPEAKER_03: So you can be proud of yourself.
- 1:04:47SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:04:48SPEAKER_03: So I completely agree with that, that he's at that culture.
- 1:04:53SPEAKER_02: Yeah,
- 1:04:53SPEAKER_02: I mean,
- 1:04:55SPEAKER_02: really,
- 1:04:55it's about asking somebody out or asking for a favor or going
- 1:05:01out and saying,
- 1:05:01SPEAKER_02: hey,
- 1:05:02SPEAKER_02: I find you attractive.
- 1:05:03SPEAKER_02: I'm not sure if that's exactly what you should do,
- 1:05:06SPEAKER_02: but let's say I see you and I say,
- 1:05:08SPEAKER_02: I find you very interesting.
- 1:05:09SPEAKER_02: Would you like to take a coffee?
- 1:05:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:05:11SPEAKER_02: And you say, no, I mean, no way it's about me.
- 1:05:15Perhaps my approach is bad,
- 1:05:17but more often it's probably has something to do with you.
- 1:05:24SPEAKER_02: Yes,
- 1:05:24SPEAKER_02: you perhaps are not interested,
- 1:05:26SPEAKER_02: but it could also be just like you said,
- 1:05:28SPEAKER_02: you might be dating somebody or you might be having a bad day.
- 1:05:31SPEAKER_03: It can be anything.
- 1:05:32SPEAKER_03: And we always project.
- 1:05:35SPEAKER_03: We are so into projection with people.
- 1:05:37If I find when I'm talking to you and I maybe think that you're
- 1:05:41looking at my teeth
- 1:05:43SPEAKER_03: or something,
- 1:05:43SPEAKER_03: I will 10 minutes into this interview,
- 1:05:46SPEAKER_03: I will,
- 1:05:47SPEAKER_03: I will,
- 1:05:47SPEAKER_03: or this talk,
- 1:05:48SPEAKER_03: I will do like this.
- 1:05:49SPEAKER_03: I will, I will cover my mouth.
- 1:05:51SPEAKER_03: Because that is what I think.
- 1:05:54SPEAKER_03: So this is also projection.
- 1:05:56I approach someone and if I get a no,
- 1:05:59I immediately project it that I'm not good enough.
- 1:06:05SPEAKER_03: I project my own feelings.
- 1:06:06SPEAKER_03: It's a boomerang.
- 1:06:07SPEAKER_03: It's a mirror of everything.
- 1:06:09SPEAKER_03: Every relationship is a mirror of ourselves.
- 1:06:13So even in this conversation,
- 1:06:15if I think that you think something about me,
- 1:06:18I will shift.
- 1:06:19SPEAKER_03: You will notice my shift.
- 1:06:21Maybe I get more shy or maybe I get more loud or maybe I get
- 1:06:24more introvert,
- 1:06:25SPEAKER_03: extrovert or anything because I see something.
- 1:06:29SPEAKER_03: I believe something.
- 1:06:30SPEAKER_03: I project my fear.
- 1:06:32SPEAKER_03: So, okay, now I go into that coffee shop and I ask and they say no.
- 1:06:36SPEAKER_03: So I have my ego, first of all, my ego.
- 1:06:38SPEAKER_03: We don't like to be rejected.
- 1:06:41SPEAKER_03: But then I will project something.
- 1:06:43SPEAKER_03: I must be because of... Right?
- 1:06:51SPEAKER_02: So just do it.
- 1:06:53SPEAKER_02: And hopefully now you are about to approach somebody.
- 1:06:57SPEAKER_02: So what makes an approach feel honest?
- 1:07:01SPEAKER_02: And how should we approach somebody?
- 1:07:03Oh,
- 1:07:04this is so interesting how we would smile always and never from
- 1:07:08the back.
- 1:07:09SPEAKER_03: Never, never, ever from the back.
- 1:07:10SPEAKER_03: Always from the side or up front.
- 1:07:13SPEAKER_03: Because when we come from the back, people tend to jump a little bit.
- 1:07:17SPEAKER_03: We don't like when people come from the back.
- 1:07:20SPEAKER_03: So from side or like up front.
- 1:07:22And I think one of the things that is working so good is when
- 1:07:26you ask a question.
- 1:07:28SPEAKER_03: Let's say you're in a coffee shop and you say,
- 1:07:29do you think I should take the blueberry muffins or the
- 1:07:32chocolate muffins?
- 1:07:34SPEAKER_02: Oh, so you're starting a conversation.
- 1:07:36SPEAKER_03: Yeah, right?
- 1:07:37SPEAKER_03: Or you can compliment your bag or what kind of coffee do you have?
- 1:07:43SPEAKER_03: It looks so good.
- 1:07:44SPEAKER_03: I want that too.
- 1:07:45SPEAKER_03: You just start something.
- 1:07:47SPEAKER_03: Because when you do, you have beautiful eyes, that doesn't work.
- 1:07:52SPEAKER_03: It doesn't work.
- 1:07:53SPEAKER_03: You get a smile back.
- 1:07:54SPEAKER_03: But most often it's a compliment.
- 1:07:56SPEAKER_03: It's nice.
- 1:07:57SPEAKER_03: But if someone says, I noticed your energy, you're taking the room.
- 1:08:02SPEAKER_03: I have to say, I need to say that to you.
- 1:08:04You're also giving a kind of a compliment,
- 1:08:06but not your body,
- 1:08:08your eyes,
- 1:08:09your hair.
- 1:08:11SPEAKER_03: You can do it in a different way.
- 1:08:13SPEAKER_03: So the energy you're coming from is how the result will be.
- 1:08:20SPEAKER_02: Oh, so does it mean be indirect with your compliments?
- 1:08:24SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:08:26SPEAKER_02: So not direct.
- 1:08:27SPEAKER_02: Don't comment on looks.
- 1:08:28SPEAKER_03: No, not looks.
- 1:08:29SPEAKER_03: No, not looks.
- 1:08:30SPEAKER_03: Because it's very difficult, especially here in Sweden.
- 1:08:34SPEAKER_03: Maybe in different countries we have different cultures.
- 1:08:36SPEAKER_03: If you do in Spain, for example, yeah, it's more doable.
- 1:08:41SPEAKER_03: But if you are here in Nordic, no.
- 1:08:43SPEAKER_03: If you're in the States, yes.
- 1:08:45SPEAKER_03: It's different where you are because this is a culture thing.
- 1:08:48In the Nordic,
- 1:08:49you need to have a little bit slower approach and maybe ask
- 1:08:53questions.
- 1:08:54SPEAKER_03: And first and foremost, it's not a transaction.
- 1:08:57I think the energy you're coming from will be the answer you
- 1:09:03will get from that person.
- 1:09:05SPEAKER_03: So if we come from an energy that we have a transaction,
- 1:09:09SPEAKER_03: I'm asking you because I want something back.
- 1:09:13SPEAKER_03: It's difficult.
- 1:09:14SPEAKER_03: You're in dangerous sea here.
- 1:09:17It's better if you just give a compliment because you want to,
- 1:09:20no matter what you get back.
- 1:09:23SPEAKER_03: And if it gets awkward, it's only you that can decide that.
- 1:09:26Because if the answer is no,
- 1:09:28and you make it awkward and embarrassed,
- 1:09:31then it will be.
- 1:09:31But if you will do,
- 1:09:33okay,
- 1:09:33I just needed to ask because I couldn't help myself.
- 1:09:37SPEAKER_03: You respond with a smile.
- 1:09:39SPEAKER_03: No problem.
- 1:09:40SPEAKER_03: Right?
- 1:09:40SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:09:41SPEAKER_03: So you decide a little bit yourself if it's going to be awkward or not.
- 1:09:48SPEAKER_02: It is, I guess, in Scandinavia, just approaching somebody.
- 1:09:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:09:54SPEAKER_02: we're not really used to it, right?
- 1:09:57SPEAKER_02: I mean, approaching a stranger.
- 1:09:58SPEAKER_02: So I guess going into a coffee shop and talking to that person,
- 1:10:03SPEAKER_02: let's say they're sitting with their friends,
- 1:10:05SPEAKER_02: I guess that's frightening to a lot of people.
- 1:10:08SPEAKER_03: It is, it is.
- 1:10:09SPEAKER_03: And if you're introverted,
- 1:10:11I don't want to force you to be extroverted,
- 1:10:14but you can do it in micromanagement.
- 1:10:16Like you can say hello to someone in the elevator or which
- 1:10:20button,
- 1:10:20which floor are you going to?
- 1:10:21SPEAKER_03: And you press the button for that person.
- 1:10:24But this is something you actually need to train because if you
- 1:10:27train this in the daily life,
- 1:10:30it will be much easier when you do the dating and come to the
- 1:10:34dating arena.
- 1:10:35SPEAKER_03: So just talking to someone in the supermarket,
- 1:10:39SPEAKER_03: but the person with the dog,
- 1:10:40SPEAKER_03: or it can be the old lady with 90 years.
- 1:10:43SPEAKER_03: It can be the young man at 20.
- 1:10:44SPEAKER_03: It doesn't have to be romantic.
- 1:10:47Just training to say hello or asking a question or anything so
- 1:10:53that that skill goes
- 1:10:54SPEAKER_03: up a little bit.
- 1:10:56SPEAKER_03: Hmm.
- 1:10:57SPEAKER_02: Oh,
- 1:10:59so start small because if you're not used to this and you see
- 1:11:04your dream man or
- 1:11:07SPEAKER_02: woman,
- 1:11:09SPEAKER_02: it's going to be very,
- 1:11:10SPEAKER_02: I guess,
- 1:11:11very difficult to just approach them and talk to them if you're
- 1:11:13not used to talking
- 1:11:14SPEAKER_02: to people and being social.
- 1:11:16SPEAKER_03: Yes, exactly.
- 1:11:16SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
- 1:11:18SPEAKER_03: I think it's very important to train those skills.
- 1:11:22SPEAKER_03: And,
- 1:11:23SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 1:11:23SPEAKER_03: you can talk to basically anyone and not everyone is extroverted,
- 1:11:27SPEAKER_03: but just small,
- 1:11:28SPEAKER_03: small,
- 1:11:28SPEAKER_03: small steps.
- 1:11:30SPEAKER_03: And you don't need to change yourself.
- 1:11:32SPEAKER_03: Definitely not.
- 1:11:32SPEAKER_03: But, you know, just trying to communicate.
- 1:11:36SPEAKER_03: And it's not too bad if you get a no.
- 1:11:38SPEAKER_03: What is a no?
- 1:11:39SPEAKER_03: It's nothing.
- 1:11:39SPEAKER_03: You did it.
- 1:11:41SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so go out there.
- 1:11:43SPEAKER_03: I say go out there and try it every single day.
- 1:11:46SPEAKER_03: Do something.
- 1:11:48SPEAKER_03: Go outside the comfort zone.
- 1:11:51SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:11:53a smile okay yeah that that one that one is very very important
- 1:11:59yeah i mean
- 1:12:00sometimes when i look at my this podcast and uh the video and i
- 1:12:06see my my natural
- 1:12:07face and i'm like frowning and listening you know when i smile
- 1:12:12it it's completely
- 1:12:13SPEAKER_03: different yeah yeah but a smile you come so long with that and
- 1:12:18SPEAKER_03: All of my clients comes from one root, and we all people do.
- 1:12:22SPEAKER_03: That is fear.
- 1:12:24SPEAKER_03: And there is always two sides.
- 1:12:27SPEAKER_03: We have primary feelings and secondary feelings.
- 1:12:31SPEAKER_03: And primary feeling is our action take,
- 1:12:33SPEAKER_03: our reaction take,
- 1:12:35what we do if we are leaving someone or screaming or needy or
- 1:12:40everything is in the
- 1:12:41SPEAKER_03: action here.
- 1:12:43Underneath the action,
- 1:12:44underneath the primary,
- 1:12:45the secondary,
- 1:12:47that is the fear.
- 1:12:49So if I say to my partner,
- 1:12:50I am done because I'm afraid that he will leave me.
- 1:12:53SPEAKER_03: Maybe he does something and I get afraid he will leave.
- 1:12:56SPEAKER_03: I go, I'm done.
- 1:12:57SPEAKER_03: But basically my primary fear is, oh, don't leave me.
- 1:13:02SPEAKER_03: Please stay, please stay, please stay.
- 1:13:04SPEAKER_03: That is my fear.
- 1:13:06SPEAKER_03: So to see what's happening here, let's take a quick example.
- 1:13:10SPEAKER_03: We have two couples, a couple they are fighting.
- 1:13:14SPEAKER_03: So he leaves the bed and he goes out and sleeps on the sofa.
- 1:13:17SPEAKER_03: Now she will maybe think, this is the action.
- 1:13:20SPEAKER_03: He went out and she was pissed and she's staying in the bed.
- 1:13:24SPEAKER_03: But her secondary feelings now will be, he doesn't love me anymore.
- 1:13:28SPEAKER_03: He doesn't see me anymore.
- 1:13:29SPEAKER_03: He doesn't want to touch me anymore.
- 1:13:31SPEAKER_03: His feelings on the sofa, his secondary, I'm not good enough.
- 1:13:36SPEAKER_03: I'm not good enough.
- 1:13:37SPEAKER_03: No matter what I do, I'm not good enough.
- 1:13:39SPEAKER_03: So now we are two people, action take, but with fear based.
- 1:13:45SPEAKER_03: And this is exactly,
- 1:13:46SPEAKER_03: we can take this to the approaching someone,
- 1:13:48SPEAKER_03: asking something in the coffee shop,
- 1:13:51SPEAKER_03: what is the fear?
- 1:13:54SPEAKER_03: Where is the fear?
- 1:13:54SPEAKER_03: What's the secondary feeling here?
- 1:13:57SPEAKER_03: And then we can attack that and heal that.
- 1:14:00SPEAKER_02: Now you've approached the person.
- 1:14:01SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 1:14:02You've talked about the bag,
- 1:14:03the dog,
- 1:14:04the coffee,
- 1:14:05the conversation is flowing.
- 1:14:07SPEAKER_02: Number one, how do you know if the other person is interested in you?
- 1:14:13And number two,
- 1:14:14how should you close that approach if you're interested in the
- 1:14:17person?
- 1:14:19SPEAKER_03: If I get a respond, I think that person is interested.
- 1:14:23SPEAKER_03: But you never know that.
- 1:14:24SPEAKER_03: There is no guarantee.
- 1:14:26SPEAKER_03: You know,
- 1:14:27smiling and being positive and responding doesn't mean that you
- 1:14:31get a yes at the
- 1:14:32SPEAKER_03: end of the day.
- 1:14:33SPEAKER_03: It can just be a nice outgoing person.
- 1:14:37SPEAKER_03: But again,
- 1:14:38SPEAKER_03: if you look at point C,
- 1:14:40SPEAKER_03: when you're at point A,
- 1:14:42SPEAKER_03: you will destroy point A.
- 1:14:43SPEAKER_03: So you start with the conversation and the energy.
- 1:14:46SPEAKER_03: And then you can say, you know what?
- 1:14:47SPEAKER_03: I like this conversation or I love your energy.
- 1:14:51I would love to take you out for a coffee or I would love to
- 1:14:54have this conversation further.
- 1:14:56SPEAKER_03: Do you have any social media that I can connect to?
- 1:14:59SPEAKER_03: Because today it's easier to ask for social media than a phone number.
- 1:15:04SPEAKER_03: It's much easier.
- 1:15:06SPEAKER_03: It's not so private.
- 1:15:09SPEAKER_03: And people are more open to share social media than phone numbers.
- 1:15:14Even if the phone numbers is on the social media,
- 1:15:18so you can get it anyway.
- 1:15:20SPEAKER_03: But still, it's just easier.
- 1:15:22SPEAKER_03: What's the social media?
- 1:15:23SPEAKER_03: Do you have a platform that we can share?
- 1:15:26SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:15:27SPEAKER_03: You are smoothly, you know, getting...
- 1:15:31SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:15:33SPEAKER_02: And then when you give them your social media,
- 1:15:35SPEAKER_02: they can see who you are,
- 1:15:37SPEAKER_02: your pictures,
- 1:15:38SPEAKER_02: your dog,
- 1:15:41SPEAKER_02: your life and so forth.
- 1:15:42SPEAKER_03: And it's so easy to grasp, but oh, I see you also like Italia, Italy.
- 1:15:46SPEAKER_03: Oh, I see you read that book.
- 1:15:49SPEAKER_03: Oh, where is that coffee shop?
- 1:15:50SPEAKER_03: You have so many things that you can approach.
- 1:15:53SPEAKER_03: And even if it's not social media with pictures, maybe it's
- 1:15:58work social media in somehow,
- 1:16:00work network,
- 1:16:01you can grasp something there.
- 1:16:02SPEAKER_03: I can see you work with this and this,
- 1:16:04SPEAKER_03: or I see that you have those and those connections,
- 1:16:05SPEAKER_03: or I see you follow,
- 1:16:07SPEAKER_03: follow that group.
- 1:16:08SPEAKER_03: I do that too.
- 1:16:09SPEAKER_03: You can always pick something.
- 1:16:10SPEAKER_03: It's so easy.
- 1:16:16SPEAKER_02: This is very fascinating.
- 1:16:17SPEAKER_03: You make it so difficult to talk to people.
- 1:16:23SPEAKER_02: I think we do.
- 1:16:24SPEAKER_02: Especially,
- 1:16:27SPEAKER_02: I think,
- 1:16:28the first five minutes of a conversation in Sweden can be a
- 1:16:34little bit challenging,
- 1:16:36especially if the other person is introverted and perhaps a
- 1:16:39little bit shy.
- 1:16:41But if we,
- 1:16:42like you said,
- 1:16:43if we project on the other person,
- 1:16:45then maybe we take it personally.
- 1:16:46SPEAKER_02: Oh, they're quiet because I'm not interesting or they don't like me.
- 1:16:51SPEAKER_02: But maybe the other person is just shy or have had a bad day.
- 1:16:55SPEAKER_03: Yeah, exactly.
- 1:16:56SPEAKER_02: But it's really, I think, like you say, it's not very complicated.
- 1:17:01SPEAKER_02: You're interested in somebody.
- 1:17:03SPEAKER_02: You talk to them.
- 1:17:04They get to know you,
- 1:17:05you show them interest,
- 1:17:07and then you take their numbers.
- 1:17:09SPEAKER_02: You're not trying too hard.
- 1:17:12I think a problem is we either avoid something or we attack it
- 1:17:18and we try too hard.
- 1:17:21SPEAKER_02: And when we try too hard,
- 1:17:24SPEAKER_02: it doesn't matter if we are a good person,
- 1:17:26SPEAKER_02: a good woman,
- 1:17:27SPEAKER_02: if we are interesting.
- 1:17:31SPEAKER_02: It doesn't attract, I guess.
- 1:17:33SPEAKER_03: It doesn't.
- 1:17:34SPEAKER_03: Always when we come with an agenda, it doesn't attract.
- 1:17:39SPEAKER_03: I mean, the low self-esteem choose me again.
- 1:17:41SPEAKER_03: We are back at that point, choose me.
- 1:17:44SPEAKER_03: If I smile at a person or if I'm nice to a person,
- 1:17:48SPEAKER_03: if I bake a cake to my neighbor,
- 1:17:50SPEAKER_03: I'm not looking for the transaction.
- 1:17:53SPEAKER_03: Transaction would do with work.
- 1:17:55SPEAKER_03: Work is transaction, basically.
- 1:17:58SPEAKER_03: But emotions are not.
- 1:18:00SPEAKER_03: People are not.
- 1:18:01So if I do this baking a cake to my neighbor,
- 1:18:04it's not because I want something in return.
- 1:18:06SPEAKER_03: I bake a cake to her because I want to.
- 1:18:10SPEAKER_03: I give a hug because I want to.
- 1:18:11SPEAKER_03: I help you because I want to.
- 1:18:14SPEAKER_03: But of course,
- 1:18:15if it's a friend and I help you one thousandth time and I need
- 1:18:18help one and you say
- 1:18:19SPEAKER_03: no,
- 1:18:20SPEAKER_03: okay,
- 1:18:20SPEAKER_03: that's information.
- 1:18:22But saying hello to someone in a coffee shop or approaching
- 1:18:26someone,
- 1:18:27that is not a transaction.
- 1:18:29SPEAKER_03: That is a talk and let's see what's happened.
- 1:18:32I was out walking in summer with a smoothie,
- 1:18:35a green smoothie in my hand.
- 1:18:37And there was a man with a bike next to me and I had my earpods
- 1:18:41on with music and I
- 1:18:43SPEAKER_03: saw his lips moving.
- 1:18:44SPEAKER_03: So I took out my part and I said, what?
- 1:18:46SPEAKER_03: And he said, that smoothie looks so good.
- 1:18:48SPEAKER_03: What's in it?
- 1:18:49SPEAKER_03: And I said, oh, it's this and this and this.
- 1:18:51SPEAKER_03: Wow.
- 1:18:51SPEAKER_03: Do you live in Melbourne?
- 1:18:52SPEAKER_03: He said, yes, I do.
- 1:18:53SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 1:18:54SPEAKER_03: So you're headed for the central station?
- 1:18:55SPEAKER_03: I said, yes.
- 1:18:56SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 1:18:56SPEAKER_03: Then I go with you.
- 1:18:57SPEAKER_03: And he did one thing very, very clever.
- 1:19:00SPEAKER_03: He held distance, like one and a half meters or something.
- 1:19:04SPEAKER_03: So I didn't feel, you know, that he was coming on to me too close.
- 1:19:08SPEAKER_03: He had a bit of a distance, but he was talking all the time.
- 1:19:12SPEAKER_03: And at the central station, he asks actually for my social media.
- 1:19:17And I said,
- 1:19:17you can have it,
- 1:19:18but you cannot have a date because I'm not single.
- 1:19:21SPEAKER_03: And he said, oh, that's fine.
- 1:19:23SPEAKER_03: That's fine.
- 1:19:24SPEAKER_03: Thank you.
- 1:19:24SPEAKER_03: You're just so nice to talk to.
- 1:19:26SPEAKER_03: I will be happy to have your social media.
- 1:19:28SPEAKER_03: Even though I wanted that date from the beginning,
- 1:19:31SPEAKER_03: he said he left,
- 1:19:32SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 1:19:32SPEAKER_03: so he did it so perfectly.
- 1:19:34SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:19:35SPEAKER_03: You know, so why not?
- 1:19:38SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:19:39So he didn't say,
- 1:19:41oh,
- 1:19:42you have such a nice hair or you look wonderful today.
- 1:19:45SPEAKER_02: He commented on something.
- 1:19:48SPEAKER_02: My smoothie, my smoothie.
- 1:19:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:19:53SPEAKER_02: So it doesn't have to be this grandiose, wonderful approach.
- 1:19:56SPEAKER_02: It can be just simple approach.
- 1:19:58SPEAKER_02: Talk.
- 1:19:59SPEAKER_03: Much nicer, I would say.
- 1:20:00SPEAKER_03: Because if he would say,
- 1:20:01SPEAKER_03: ah,
- 1:20:02SPEAKER_03: you look so nice,
- 1:20:03SPEAKER_03: maybe I wouldn't talk to him all the way to the central station.
- 1:20:06SPEAKER_03: Maybe I would have cut it.
- 1:20:07SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 1:20:09SPEAKER_02: I have a few more questions.
- 1:20:10SPEAKER_02: I know you have to leave very soon.
- 1:20:13SPEAKER_02: If somebody would like to become more attractive to the opposite sex,
- 1:20:18SPEAKER_02: whether it's a man or a woman right now listening,
- 1:20:22SPEAKER_02: what should they do?
- 1:20:24One thing they should do today if they would like to become
- 1:20:26more attractive to the
- 1:20:28SPEAKER_02: opposite sex.
- 1:20:29SPEAKER_03: I don't know if you should do anything, actually.
- 1:20:32SPEAKER_03: This is the thing.
- 1:20:33SPEAKER_03: You should be authentic.
- 1:20:36SPEAKER_03: You should be just you, of course, with social skills.
- 1:20:40SPEAKER_03: Of course, we don't show every side of ourselves on the first date.
- 1:20:45SPEAKER_03: But when we come, this is the thing.
- 1:20:48SPEAKER_03: Self-confidence, we can play out.
- 1:20:51SPEAKER_03: Self-confidence, I can actually act.
- 1:20:54SPEAKER_03: I could act it.
- 1:20:55SPEAKER_03: No problem.
- 1:20:56SPEAKER_03: Self-esteem, I can never act.
- 1:20:59SPEAKER_03: Never ever.
- 1:21:00SPEAKER_03: It comes from the soul.
- 1:21:01SPEAKER_03: It comes from inside.
- 1:21:03And if I am in my self-esteem and I'm not afraid,
- 1:21:09it will show in my energy.
- 1:21:11SPEAKER_03: And I will be on that date actually asking that person, who are you?
- 1:21:17SPEAKER_03: Because I will want to get to know that person.
- 1:21:21SPEAKER_03: But if I think and I want to ask those questions,
- 1:21:24SPEAKER_03: bam,
- 1:21:24SPEAKER_03: bam,
- 1:21:24SPEAKER_03: bam,
- 1:21:24SPEAKER_03: and I need to do,
- 1:21:25SPEAKER_03: do,
- 1:21:25SPEAKER_03: do,
- 1:21:25SPEAKER_03: do,
- 1:21:26SPEAKER_03: do.
- 1:21:26SPEAKER_03: You know, I try too hard, I try too less.
- 1:21:30SPEAKER_03: There is the mismatch.
- 1:21:31SPEAKER_03: But if you are authentic,
- 1:21:33SPEAKER_03: not so afraid of showing who you are,
- 1:21:36SPEAKER_03: never ever say this is right and this is wrong.
- 1:21:38SPEAKER_03: We don't do that.
- 1:21:41SPEAKER_03: If you say yellow, I say, oh, right, yellow.
- 1:21:43SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 1:21:43SPEAKER_03: Okay, I find blue.
- 1:21:44SPEAKER_03: I like blue better.
- 1:21:46SPEAKER_03: But tell me about your yellow so I understand where you're coming from.
- 1:21:50SPEAKER_03: You're telling Enisa, ah, no, still no.
- 1:21:53SPEAKER_03: I still find blue better.
- 1:21:54SPEAKER_03: I don't say you're wrong.
- 1:21:55SPEAKER_03: You don't need to do all of that.
- 1:21:58SPEAKER_03: Be curious, take information, be authentic.
- 1:22:01SPEAKER_03: That is, that is attractive, very attractive.
- 1:22:04SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:22:05SPEAKER_03: So go inside, right?
- 1:22:09SPEAKER_02: So be authentic.
- 1:22:12Even if you're nervous or afraid,
- 1:22:14it's better to say,
- 1:22:15I'm actually nervous right now.
- 1:22:16SPEAKER_02: I haven't done this in a while than to pretend to be somebody you're not.
- 1:22:22SPEAKER_03: Oh, 100.
- 1:22:22SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 1:22:23SPEAKER_03: It breaks the walls immediately.
- 1:22:25SPEAKER_03: Oh, I'm a bit nervous today.
- 1:22:27SPEAKER_03: Oh, tell me why.
- 1:22:29SPEAKER_03: I don't need to be nervous.
- 1:22:30SPEAKER_03: You're immediately there in a connection with the right person.
- 1:22:36SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:22:37SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:22:38SPEAKER_02: That's what we want, the right person in front of us.
- 1:22:41SPEAKER_03: Yeah, definitely.
- 1:22:43SPEAKER_03: We don't want someone who we cannot be authentic with anyway.
- 1:22:47SPEAKER_03: So that mask will anyway fall off sooner or later.
- 1:22:51SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:22:54So it's better to be authentic from the beginning than to
- 1:22:58pretend to be somebody you're not.
- 1:22:59SPEAKER_03: Yeah, definitely, because that's a lie.
- 1:23:00SPEAKER_03: You're selling a lie.
- 1:23:01SPEAKER_02: Jeanette, two more questions for you.
- 1:23:04SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 1:23:05SPEAKER_02: And the first one is, what makes love meaningful?
- 1:23:13SPEAKER_03: Awesome.
- 1:23:13SPEAKER_02: Even if it can be imperfect at times.
- 1:23:18SPEAKER_03: Oh, what a beautiful question.
- 1:23:19SPEAKER_03: I think the imperfect is the love, isn't it?
- 1:23:23SPEAKER_03: Being imperfect, that is the perfect.
- 1:23:26SPEAKER_03: You should never be perfect.
- 1:23:29I think you need to love the sides and the personalities that
- 1:23:34comes with your
- 1:23:35SPEAKER_03: partner and yourself.
- 1:23:36SPEAKER_03: You need to actually love those.
- 1:23:38SPEAKER_03: You don't need to agree with it.
- 1:23:40SPEAKER_03: And it can never be in the deal breaker.
- 1:23:43SPEAKER_03: But love is beautiful because when you get to know a person,
- 1:23:46SPEAKER_03: authentic with the flaws,
- 1:23:48SPEAKER_03: the imperfection,
- 1:23:49SPEAKER_03: that is the love.
- 1:23:50SPEAKER_03: That is the safety.
- 1:23:51SPEAKER_03: That is the beauty in it.
- 1:23:53SPEAKER_03: And I think if you don't do it, you can never love.
- 1:23:56SPEAKER_03: I don't believe there is any love that has no imperfections.
- 1:24:01SPEAKER_03: And if you think that you can never,
- 1:24:03SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 1:24:03SPEAKER_03: meet love without imperfections,
- 1:24:06SPEAKER_03: you need coaching.
- 1:24:08SPEAKER_03: This is the beauty.
- 1:24:09SPEAKER_03: This is the beauty.
- 1:24:10SPEAKER_03: This is the authentic, the raw, the vulnerability.
- 1:24:14So I think this is the beautiful part of the love that you feel
- 1:24:18so safe with your partner.
- 1:24:19SPEAKER_03: You can do anything.
- 1:24:22SPEAKER_03: And you can grow, you allow your partner to grow.
- 1:24:26Because if you don't allow your partner to grow,
- 1:24:29you are not involved in the love,
- 1:24:33right?
- 1:24:33SPEAKER_03: So I think this is also something you want to see your partner grow.
- 1:24:39SPEAKER_03: And that will be imperfect, of course.
- 1:24:43SPEAKER_03: No, that is the beauty in love.
- 1:24:45SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:24:47you keep getting back to being authentic being imperfect yeah
- 1:24:54because we are we are
- 1:24:55all a bit broken for every one of us have something and if we
- 1:25:02can never share that
- 1:25:04or heal that who are we we also need to be in trust in trust of
- 1:25:08the process and I
- 1:25:11SPEAKER_03: think love is so beautiful with the imperfections
- 1:25:15Can you imagine meeting a partner where everything is perfect
- 1:25:21and the person says,
- 1:25:23SPEAKER_03: no,
- 1:25:23SPEAKER_03: everything is perfect.
- 1:25:24SPEAKER_03: I have had the best life.
- 1:25:26SPEAKER_03: I've never done anything.
- 1:25:27SPEAKER_03: I don't have any flaws.
- 1:25:30SPEAKER_03: Everything is good.
- 1:25:31SPEAKER_03: It becomes shallow.
- 1:25:34Mm-hmm.
- 1:25:35SPEAKER_03: We need to love that.
- 1:25:36SPEAKER_02: It doesn't exist.
- 1:25:37SPEAKER_02: It doesn't exist.
- 1:25:38SPEAKER_03: No, no.
- 1:25:40SPEAKER_03: So, yeah, that's the beauty of the love.
- 1:25:42SPEAKER_03: Embracing someone else's imperfections.
- 1:25:45SPEAKER_03: Loving that.
- 1:25:47SPEAKER_02: Embracing somebody else's imperfections.
- 1:25:49SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:25:50SPEAKER_02: Jeanette, before I ask you the last question...
- 1:25:54Is there something I should have asked you about dating and
- 1:25:58relationships that I haven't asked?
- 1:26:01SPEAKER_02: Something important that you think, I would like to talk about this.
- 1:26:05SPEAKER_02: Ibrahim hasn't asked me about it.
- 1:26:06SPEAKER_03: No, I think actually we covered this.
- 1:26:08SPEAKER_03: I think the thing,
- 1:26:10the key thing also for listeners to take with is we shouldn't
- 1:26:14be so much in
- 1:26:15SPEAKER_03: interpretation,
- 1:26:16SPEAKER_03: interpret things that is not in front of us,
- 1:26:20SPEAKER_03: seeing things that is not in front of us,
- 1:26:22SPEAKER_03: or
- 1:26:23SPEAKER_03: Actually the opposite,
- 1:26:25to actually see what is in front of us and not interpret
- 1:26:28something that has to do
- 1:26:29SPEAKER_03: with our wounds.
- 1:26:30SPEAKER_03: Everything comes down to who am I?
- 1:26:33SPEAKER_03: What is my coding?
- 1:26:36SPEAKER_03: What is my reactions?
- 1:26:37SPEAKER_03: What is my fears?
- 1:26:38SPEAKER_03: How do I act on it?
- 1:26:40SPEAKER_03: What do I self-sabotage?
- 1:26:41SPEAKER_03: We always do the self-accountability first.
- 1:26:46So if you're single 10 years,
- 1:26:47you actually need to ask you,
- 1:26:49why am I single 10 years?
- 1:26:51SPEAKER_03: Who am I dating?
- 1:26:53SPEAKER_03: What kind of people do I attract in and why?
- 1:26:58How come I attract the same person over and over and over in
- 1:27:02different costumes?
- 1:27:03SPEAKER_03: Why do I have the same results over and over and over?
- 1:27:07SPEAKER_03: This is the attachment.
- 1:27:08SPEAKER_03: This is the wounds.
- 1:27:09SPEAKER_03: This is where we act from fear.
- 1:27:11SPEAKER_03: Okay, good.
- 1:27:12SPEAKER_03: I need to do something.
- 1:27:14And the other thing is that I want people to believe in love
- 1:27:18because there are love
- 1:27:19SPEAKER_03: outside for everyone.
- 1:27:21SPEAKER_03: We are born with a value, each and every one of us.
- 1:27:25SPEAKER_03: We deserve love.
- 1:27:26SPEAKER_03: We don't need to find value.
- 1:27:28SPEAKER_03: We have the value.
- 1:27:30SPEAKER_03: We don't need to search for it.
- 1:27:31SPEAKER_03: We just need to come home.
- 1:27:33So if we just do that and we have trust in the process,
- 1:27:36I promise you love will come.
- 1:27:42SPEAKER_02: Believe in love.
- 1:27:43SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
- 1:27:44SPEAKER_02: You have value.
- 1:27:45SPEAKER_02: That's very beautiful.
- 1:27:47SPEAKER_02: Well said.
- 1:27:49SPEAKER_02: Fonette,
- 1:27:51a question that I ask all of my guests is if you could only
- 1:27:55give us one advice,
- 1:27:57SPEAKER_02: only one advice of all the books you've read,
- 1:28:01SPEAKER_02: your wonderful experience,
- 1:28:04SPEAKER_02: everything you know,
- 1:28:05SPEAKER_02: only one advice for a better,
- 1:28:07SPEAKER_02: more meaningful life.
- 1:28:09SPEAKER_02: What would it be?
- 1:28:10SPEAKER_03: To me, I'm spiritual, so I need to blend that in now.
- 1:28:15SPEAKER_03: And that is to trust in the process.
- 1:28:18Because the advice that I'm giving here is even if I do
- 1:28:22something wrong-ish today...
- 1:28:26SPEAKER_03: I do it today because I'm trusting that was what I needed to do.
- 1:28:31SPEAKER_03: I thought it was the right thing to do today.
- 1:28:34SPEAKER_03: Maybe tomorrow I can realize it was not.
- 1:28:37But then I need to trust my process in this and learn from it
- 1:28:41and grow from it.
- 1:28:42SPEAKER_03: Because the past is the past.
- 1:28:44SPEAKER_03: And we can only learn from that.
- 1:28:46SPEAKER_03: Don't have anxiety.
- 1:28:48SPEAKER_03: Learn from it.
- 1:28:49And the future,
- 1:28:50you know,
- 1:28:50go into that with a vision and not with anxiety.
- 1:28:54SPEAKER_03: So we have to be more in the now.
- 1:28:57SPEAKER_03: So when we trust in the process, we can build self-esteem.
- 1:29:00SPEAKER_03: When we build self-esteem, we can receive.
- 1:29:04SPEAKER_03: And holding love, that is the thing.
- 1:29:07SPEAKER_03: Can you hold it?
- 1:29:09SPEAKER_03: Because most of my clients cannot hold love.
- 1:29:11SPEAKER_03: They think they can, but they cannot.
- 1:29:13SPEAKER_03: With this process that I just said, you can hold love.
- 1:29:16SPEAKER_03: And when you can hold love, it will attract it to you.
- 1:29:21SPEAKER_03: And that goes for everything in life.
- 1:29:24SPEAKER_03: If you can hold it.
- 1:29:27SPEAKER_02: Trust the process.
- 1:29:28SPEAKER_03: Yeah, for sure.
- 1:29:31Janette,
- 1:29:31if people would like to learn more about you,
- 1:29:33where can they find you?
- 1:29:34SPEAKER_03: Everywhere.

- 1:29:41uh so if you just
- 1:29:43add that so you you can see me everywhere with that just my
- 1:29:47name i'll do that i'll
- 1:29:48add you in the show and the show notes janet it has been
- 1:29:51wonderful having you here
- 1:29:52today you've said some things that have stuck with me you've
- 1:29:56said that love is not
- 1:29:57SPEAKER_02: transactional you've talked about attachment styles and
- 1:30:01SPEAKER_02: You also said something that I find very fascinating and interesting.
- 1:30:05SPEAKER_02: Be healed before mindset.
- 1:30:08SPEAKER_02: So healing before mindset.
- 1:30:11SPEAKER_02: And I like that idea also of self accountability first.
- 1:30:16SPEAKER_02: And also trust the process.
