    The Pursuit of Independence in Relationships

    Welcome to episode 2! 🌷 In this episode, I dive into a thought-provoking topic that lies at the heart of every relationship: independence. If you're in a relationship, you have most likely encountered some of the points in this episode. There are two sides to this discussion, and one is not spoken about as much as the other. First, there's the need to find more independence to maintain your own sense of identity and individuality. Which will also help to maintain a healthy relationship. And then, there is the fear of dependence in the first place. These days, we're often told that we must be 'independent' and 'to not rely on anyone'. This then leads to people putting up walls, struggling to commit fully to a relationship or sending confusing messages to their partner, because of this fear. I think too often these days we get caught up in worrying if we are 'co-dependent' without understanding the complexities and the actual meaning of the word. I recently learnt the value of my own personal independence in my romantic relationship. I provide my tips on this, whilst talking about the nuances of independence. I also talk about some subtle signs you may relate to, read out some listener responses and then leave you with two final quotes. If you have been noticing feelings of dependency, struggling to be alone or being fearful of letting someone in, this episode is for you! Also... take a shot every time I say independence lol I hope you enjoy!! 🎀 💖
