On todays episode:Those who don’t have kids and those who don’t marry can be argued to be fundamentally selfish.Your partner is an undiscovered ocean; their brain is completely different from yours, and to think you have them figured out is fundamentally incorrect.Is it selfish to not want to bring kids into such a dysfunctional world?The world is waking up to the corruption of our government, our food industry, etc., and it’s up to you whether or not you raise your kids in the mainstream or not.Don’t force your kids to abide by rules or have beliefs that you yourself don’t stand behind.Lead by example.Not having children and not getting married means that your life is just about you.People decide on their stance on having children based on their here and now instead of having forethought to when they’re 50, 60, 70 years old.I used to want it to just be me and Ryan and saw children as distracting from that.The people who say they don’t want kids typically don’t like the idea of sacrifice.Why aren’t you making decisions as your future self if you already know that that’s who you will become in the future?AND MORE!Did you enjoy this episode?

"Jennifer's IG: Click Here!On Today's Episode:Jen’s mindset when she met her ex-husband.For some, a year and a half isn’t long to get to know someone, while for others, it is.It's easier to be influenced by outside pressure when you don’t know yourself yet.Loving someone’s individuality is a sign of maturity.As we grow up, we learn to have compassion for people rather than judgment.Jen’s experience with a fortune teller.Jen’s experience with ayahuasca in Mexico in hopes of finding herself.Do not do ayahuasca if you are not ready to face your demons.How can you expect someone else to know you if you don’t know yourself? You should be confident about your behavior.

On this episode:There is more than one way to get to a result.Who are you assume your way is the only way.What you’re not changing, you’re choosing.My need for certainty.Boundaries are not an ultimatum, they are a fire escape plan, if you do X, then expect Y in response.Companionship and romance won’t get you to “forever."A relationship is effort, care, contribution.You can help to influence “change” in another person is if you’re watching them behave in a way that’s different from what they told you they want. That's called accountability.Our relationships are mirrors of us because they reflect what's in our realm of awareness.There is a window of tolerance for slacking off or behaving less than you promised your partner you'd be.If you are in a season where they have to pick up more of the slack, you better be busting your butt to get yourself recalibrated and back on track, otherwise you are just taking them for granted.AND MORE!Did you enjoy this episode?
