10. Soul Mates
Episode 401
Have you ever had someone in your life that just felt like home to you? Or you just feel a stronger, more significant connection with them then other people. It’s the sense that your link to this person transcends the earth plane and that something much bigger has brought you together. You might feel like you’ve known each other in a past life and your bond can be instant and out of the blue. This person would be your soul mate. And you can actually have more then one soul mate but not all connections are the same. There are said to be 12 types of soul mates and in this episode we’re going to go over all of those and then we’re going to tell you all about how we found our soul mates!
9. Women Downplaying Themselves For Men
Episode 408
In this episode we talk about the ways women tend to downplay themselves, minimize things and just generally take a back seat to make men around them feel more comfortable. Now, we are all for treating men well and even making them comfortable. Where this becomes an issue for a lot of women is when the comfort and needs of men are prioritized over their own comfort and needs. This can lead to a lack of sense of self, resentments and lots of stress for women. We look at some examples of ways that this can show up in daily life and talk about areas that we have struggled with.
