#GrowNOW The Podcast Raluca Gomeaja

A further look into the way how to, practically, grow and have the best relationships with those around us.

The way we see core values, the way we asses them, develop and evolve them, is affecting how we see ourselves and by default, how we interact with other people.

We tend to expect our core values to be mirrored in other people just because we resonated with them on other subjects before. Sometimes, these core values showing up are the reason why we feel a connection or disconnect when dealing with those around us.

When we believe that an action doesn’t bring value to us anymore, we simply stop doing it. What’s why CORE Values are the ones that don’t change actually over time, because they are like second nature to us.

Our childhood shapes us into the adults that we are now, especially when it comes to some core emotions: feeling loved, freedom, trust, self-confidence or authenticity. Not to mention our beliefs come from our parents, even if we are conscious of it or not.

Yet, as we grow up and it's time to face our own responsibilities, we still somehow hold our parents accountable for "what was" .

How much of a blockage this represents, we are exploring in today's episode.

As we talk about significant relationships that change over the years, and maybe we realize they are not as fulfilling as we want them to be, a big part are the relationships that are not so easy to move out of or cut them out of our lives.

And that means close family members and our parents, of course.

Our parents have as much influence by their presence, as they have by their absence. So let's take a look today at those difficult relationships.

And what happens when the relationship with our best friend fails? how do we go about repairing it?
