138 - Goodbye Resolutions, Hello Realizations - Things I Learned Last Year That We're Not Doing This Year ft. Louise Rumball

Happy new year to the loves of my LIVES (YOU GUYS!!!!). This fun, solo episode is EVERYTHING I wish I had learned sooner and everything that I learned the hard way in 2023 or through the OPENHOUSE therapists & their mic-drop moments. Today, I’m sharing them with you and whenever you’re streaming this episode, it’s full of things that would have saved me so much time, stress, chaos, grief and heartache if I had learned them a little bit sooner! I jump into: Why our nervous system drives EVERYTHING (including repeated partner choice) Why just because it feels good doesn't mean that it's going to be good Why your inner child isn't able to see right from wrong (& why your adult has to learn to take the reigns) The power of shadow work and asking - what triggers me the most? The magnet theory - how we pull towards or push against the exact types of experiences we have gone through previously Why Love bombing doesn’t feel like love bombing if it’s the type of love we are desperate for Why Red flags don't feel like red flags if they feel like home  Cheating, infidelity & the connection to the inadequacy wound that is never spoken about and How we can find can find a world in our wound (and we need to step outside of it)  You cannot make an avoidantly attached partner love you more by loving them more   Join me on this fun, fresh episode so you can learn everything to have an INCREDIBLE 2024. ----- ⭐ Want weekly bonus episodes, access to our community room ‘The House’ + access to our ‘Ask A Therapist’ room?
