    16. Loveship Is and Loveship Ain't

    How do you reconcile a childhood vision of knights, white horses, and Babyface soundtracks with the reality of queer love and liberation? To kick off the new year, Sangodare circles back to a foundational conversation about the definition of Loveship. While technically still on hiatus (Alexis returns next week!), this episode bridges the gap between Sangodare’s childhood "hopeless romantic" past and the liberative, spiritual partnership practiced today. Sangodare and Alexis break down the distinction between a relationship of convenience and a true spiritual partnership, a Loveship. Tune in to learn why Loveship is a vehicle, not just a ride; a co-creation, not just cohabitation; and a joyful work, not suffering nor compromise. In this episode, we explore: The Vision vs. The Reality: Moving from fairy tale proposals to intentional partnership.Loveship Defined: Why it is a vehicle for living out one’s highest spiritual purpose.What Loveship Ain't: A candid look at why Loveship is not just "loving the one you're with" or "complacent cohabitation."Inclusivity: How this terminology honors the expansive creativity of relationships, regardless of titles (spouses, partners, baes, or otherwise).For more on our coaching and community building offerings, Click Here https://www.mobilehomecoming.org/loveship To go deeper into your self-love journey access the replay of Alexis’s “I Love Your Face” writing workshop for your youngest wisest self:  https://sangodare.podia.com/i-love-your-face-a-writing-workshop-for-your-smallest-most-expansive-self Or the Inner Child Summer School Practice space: https://sangodare.podia.com/inner-child-summer-school Let us know what you think through the social channels below, and please leave a review so that like-minded people can find us.  RESOURCES  https://sangodare.podia.com/ alexispauline.com sangodare.com CONNECT WITH US Facebook Instagram Website
