“Having devotion and love and generosity emotionally from someone as a child heavily impacts who you become in the world, just like not having it impacts you.” – Terri Cole
Intro
Are you a generous giver in relationships?
Do you give from your heart? From a place of love?
Or are you a little more tit-for-tat, where you expect something specific in return for giving?
If you answered yes to any of these, or you recognize these patterns in your relationship, this episode is for you. I break down the difference between relational unions (more heart-centered) and transactional unions (more quid pro quo).
I also give you steps to become more balanced between the two, because you do not want the pendulum to swing too far in either direction.
Highlights:
- 4:00 What is the difference between relational and transactional relationships?
- 06:00 How imbalanced relationships lead to burnout for the more relational partner
- 10:30 The important qualities of a relational union vs. a transactional one
- 15:30 How your tendency to be transactional or relational might relate to your childhood
