How do you know when you are genuinely ready for a healthy relationship? Are you more or less willing to compromise your values as you age? How do you define, identify, and express your needs in a relationship in order for it to be successful? In this episode, I'm joined by my friends, Tope Ajala and Makando Mutanda, for an intimate and reflective conversation on readiness. 

Join us to discover: 

• Why we self-sabotage (potentially healthy) relationships. 
• How to apply grace and when to sacrifice in order to relate to and serve your partner. 
• Identifying the core values that enable us to be less flexible with what we require from our partners and in relationships. 
• Understanding how our experiences, traumas, and history of relationships greatly impact how we want to be pursued and how we also pursue. 

And finally, 

• The reckoning of readiness with practical ways to gauge what you need, and release yourself or your partner when you are beyond your window of tolerance.

Romantic relationships are beautiful but extremely complex, as two individuals with different perspectives strive to understand themselves, and one another. Oftentimes, the more we understand ourselves, the less willing we are to budge when it comes to our needs being met within these relationships. However, that comes with the readiness of doing the deep work to get to a place of self-awareness and willingness to sacrifice.
