Real Talk on Relationships
If you have been in my tribe a while now or even if you’re brand new, you probably know that my family means EVERYTHING to me. I’m all about family, and I love to share my family with all of you as you are my extended family.
So…this week I invited my son, Jelani, and my nephew, Justin, to take a walk with me as I dish out some delicious, dynamic conversation about relationships and invite them to do the same.
Relationships can be SO smooth, but they can also be SO complicated. Whether it is a relationship with a family member, a romantic relationship or a friendship, there are always peaks and valleys.
When I reflect on the valleys, I realize there are some common themes that show up again and again.The times when relationships became most challenging were when I didn’t say what I was feeling. When I was being a coward to confrontation. The times when I held things in for so long that it was easier to shut the relationship down then try to do the work to repair it. And the times when I tried to keep quiet to keep the peace — which by the way NEVER, EVER brought me peace.
So listen as some of the most important people in my life weigh in on their thoughts on what makes relationships work. You’ll even get to meet one of my favorite cousins! Then, I encourage you to take a few minutes and ask yourself:
- What are the key ingredients that make your relationships rich and fulfilling?
- What are the common patterns or pitfalls you see yourself repeating so that you can tweak them moving forward?
I love reading your comments. I love your #BOLs (for those of you who might be new here, #BOL is breakthrough out loud.) So, let me know what came up for you below.
Remember, THIS is your community, and we are all in one big, dynamic relationship. We are here to support and love each other. I truly value my relationship with each and every one of you.
Your Sister in Prosperity and in Possibility,
Ah moment don’t lose myself. I don’t want to be bitter
I love how candid and open you are with your content . I a-ha moment was when you described different personality types and learning how to respond and understand different personalities. I’m always very alpha female and I assume everyone understands that . Often times it has caused friction for me in a relationship because I tend to approach them with my standard alpha female personality .
#YANA Edna..#Isecondthatemotion we are figuring it out!
Thank you again Lisa for all that you do! Relationships really are everything and your content has helped me feel firm in this truth that I’ve always known in my heart but struggled with. I am in the process of reconnecting with dear loved ones and devolving deeper, more solid connections with craniotomy and friends. I am also on a journey to find new friends and support networks. How can I continue in this direction? What are some things I can do to connect with people in your/our tribe! This video is very heart warming as I see you Connecting with your son and cousin. You are all at different stages in life/relationships and you manage to come together and have real conversations. I applaud you and thank you again! Much love, peace and light to you and everyone in the motivation the masses community ✨ #loveiseverything #relationshipsareeverything and a biiiigggg #YANA
