We’re back with our 3rd round of our ‘Brutally Honest’ series and this week it’s a deep one. I’m giving advice to my younger self again but this time it’s about relationships, specifically dating– but honestly most of this advice you can apply with adding anyone important in your life. 

Now I wish I'd paid more attention to relationships when I was younger, more importantly I wish I’d paid more attention to the relationship I had with myself. My relationships with other people often mirrored how badly I felt about myself. Constructive communication and mutual respect are vital for navigating conflicts and building a strong foundation. Creating your ideal relationship requires effort, honesty, and a willingness to invest in yourself and your partner.

So we’re going to explore everything I’ve learned about how to find the right person to share your life with. 

 

In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:

  • What should you look for in another person
  • How to make yourself feel better
  • How similar making money and developing physical fitness are to dating

Enjoy these 3 things plus many nuggets along the way.

 

Check out Mark Manson’s book Models, it helped me a ton to get over some of my issues,

Also check Stephanie Rigg, she’s a certified relationship coach who helped me a lot too. 

If you're hungry for more of these ‘Brutally Honest’ episodes, join me as I jump into the time machine to drop some serious wisdom on my younger self. You can hear the first 2 about Careers and Business, that’s episode 346 & episode 348 of this feed!
