    Podcast Summary

    • Men use confusing language to hide their true intentionsBe aware that men may use flattery or vague statements to keep things casual or hide their true feelings, and ask for clarity if unsure.

      Men sometimes use confusing language to express their feelings or intentions, often using flattery as a way to keep things casual or to let someone down gently. For example, a man might say "you're the kind of girl you marry, not the kind of girl you date," which can be flattering but also a hint that he's not ready for a serious relationship. Or he might say "I like you too much to be with you," which seems like a compliment but actually means he's not looking for anything serious. Another confusing statement is "I haven't loved you these past 2 years, I was lying to both of us," which can feel like a betrayal but might also be a way for a man to acknowledge past mistakes and try to make things right. Overall, it's important to remember that people communicate in different ways, and sometimes what they say isn't a clear reflection of how they feel. If you're unsure about someone's intentions, it's best to ask them directly and have an open and honest conversation.

    • Rushing into a new relationship without healing can lead to regretTaking time for personal growth and healing before entering a new relationship can lead to a healthier and more fulfilling partnership in the future.

      Jumping into a new relationship right after leaving an old one without doing personal work and healing may lead to regret and confusion. The speaker in this discussion shares an analogy of someone leaving a relationship and trying to swim on their own, only to realize they're not strong enough. This person then went back to their previous relationship out of fear rather than love. It's essential to understand that everyone's healing process is unique, and rushing into a new relationship without addressing past issues may not lead to long-term happiness. Instead, taking things day by day and focusing on personal growth can lead to a healthier and more fulfilling relationship in the future. Additionally, it's crucial to be transparent and honest with your partner about your intentions and past experiences. Miscommunication and dishonesty can lead to misunderstandings and mistrust, making it harder to build a strong foundation for a healthy relationship.

    • Power dynamics in a non-traditional relationshipPartners in non-traditional relationships may prioritize physical intimacy, express manipulative behaviors, and have unease about their own importance and dispensability.

      The dynamics of the relationship being discussed are not traditional dating, but rather focused on reaching a physical intimacy. The partner expresses concerns about feeling important and powerful, admitting to manipulative behaviors, and the lack of a clear label or title in their relationship. They acknowledge their own deceitful tendencies and the partner's intelligence, while expressing unease about their own dispensability in the relationship. The speaker's actions may contradict their words, but the significance of their words should not be disregarded when they are potentially harmful to the relationship.

    • Understanding ambiguous statements in relationshipsPay attention to people's true intentions by observing their words and actions, as ambiguous statements may reveal their true feelings or intentions, or be used to manipulate or distract.

      People's words and actions can sometimes convey different meanings, and it's important to pay close attention to what they're actually saying, especially when it may be inconvenient or uncomfortable for them. In the context of relationships, someone may use ambiguous language or avoid giving labels to avoid commitment or hide their true intentions. Such statements, while not necessarily appealing or likable, can be more trustworthy as they reveal the speaker's true feelings and motivations. On the other hand, people may also use complications or create confusion to manipulate or distract others from their own shortcomings. By staying aware of these tactics, we can make more informed decisions and avoid getting trapped in unhealthy relationships.

    • Focus on your reality, not distractionsAcknowledge confusing situations, but don't let them consume you. Utilize Momentum Texts resources for support.

      It's important to focus on your own reality and not get distracted by complicated situations or reasons given by others. If someone is not committing or confusing you, it's essential to acknowledge that reality and not let it consume your attention. Additionally, there's a special offer on the Momentum Texts program, which includes practical audios to help navigate difficult texting situations and boost confidence. These resources can provide valuable support in moments of anxiety and uncertainty. So, remember to focus on your reality and take advantage of the holiday special at momentum texts dotcom.

    (Rewind): Don’t Avoid Difficult Conversations In Relationships. Do THIS…

    (Rewind): Don’t Avoid Difficult Conversations In Relationships. Do THIS…
    Sometimes we avoid speaking up about what we really want with a person because we're afraid we will "make waves" in the relationship.

    We come from a place of fear and anxiety. "What if me telling him I want something to be different makes him walk away altogether?" we think to ourselves.

    So we ignore the conversation and silently suffer.

    But then nothing gets better. We just put off the conversation for another day while time keeps moving on.
    If this is you, this episode is for you.

    Approval and Attention Seeking: Looking Outside of You To Feel Good Enough

    Approval and Attention Seeking: Looking Outside of You To Feel Good Enough

    As children, our sense of worthiness hinges on the approval, attention, validation, and protection of others. When we do not receive the consistent, maternal warmth every child needs to develop the psychological sense that we are enough, we matter, and that we are good, and acceptable even when we make a mistake or do not always behave as our parents prefer, this mystical connection to the self is fractured. 

    In this space, our survival brain and even the root chakra, operate from a place of survival. Rather than live from our hearts, embracing ourselves as works in progress, without self loathing and internal self-abuse, we develop hypervigilance codependency traits and are soaked in insecure attachment issues. All these effects are normal, considering being raised to feel alone, invisible, abandoned, and detached from the authentic self. 

    On the road to personal development, spiritual healing, and living an authentic life, all serious truth seekers find themselves questioning the thoughts, emotions, patterns, and behaviors that inhibit their spiritual growth. If you are here, and you are learning to become more objective about how you show up in the world, that's incredible. It may also be painful. However, to grow we must all confront what we feel, why we feel what we feel, and how the past organically recreates itself in our future, all outside conscious awareness. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano will help you explore how you show up in the world and reveal signs that indicate you might be stuck, living out unhealed childhood patterns by seeking approval and attention outside of yourself. Awareness is necessary for spiritual healing, personal growth, and living a conscious, authentic life, so buckle in Dear Ones. 

    Lisa has created a private Membership for those who are ready to ascend the patterns of the past and who understand that real healing can only happen at the subconscious level. Join Lisa and her healing private community here.
