Hello and welcome to another episode of
0:02
the Mark Rose by Guest Today Want
0:04
to explore the conversation about should I
0:06
stay or go. And.
0:08
Really living into that question if we're
0:10
in a relationship like what's possible for
0:13
us even beyond the should I stay
0:15
or go. I'm. Not happy
0:17
with what's happening currently. How
0:20
do we create something different? And.
0:22
Is that possible, right? That's because it
0:24
doesn't just have to be. I'm thinking
0:27
about throw in this relationship away or
0:29
diving deeper if we want to change
0:31
things if we are not necessarily happy
0:33
with how it is. Is
0:35
something different available to us? Conversation I'm
0:37
sharing with you today is a conversation
0:40
Kylie and I have at the end
0:42
of chapter five in the audio book
0:44
for Liberated Love and that chapter is
0:46
called Breaking Up with Normal In a
0:49
want to read the first part of
0:51
that chapter, just the introductory couple sentences.
0:53
When you begin to face the truth
0:55
there live with in new individually as
0:58
well as between you and your partner,
1:00
it forces you to ask the difficult
1:02
question. Can we do the
1:05
work to create a new dynamic together
1:07
or is it time to break up?
1:09
I want to hold how monumental have
1:11
a question this is right because this
1:14
is true anyways and as couples and
1:16
for dating married we don't wanna actually
1:18
confront all of the possible outcomes but
1:20
you actually have to be with all
1:22
the possible outcomes because the outcome you
1:25
want to choose is the one that
1:27
is in best service of each of
1:29
you individually and what you want to
1:31
create together. And if you. Have children
1:34
to that, something to bring into your
1:36
awareness. There's another part here I want
1:38
to mention because I think it's going
1:40
to be very important for setting up
1:42
the framework of the conversation we have,
1:44
but I also think it's really important
1:46
for you to sit with. Now you
1:48
can be single and dating and I
1:50
I want you to know that this
1:52
conversation is important to know about if
1:54
you're entering relationship. Sometimes there isn't a
1:56
shared desire in a mutual commitment to
1:58
evolution. growth in a healthy, relate. When
2:01
it is the case, it's hard to
2:03
say which way to go and what
2:05
path to take. What we can say
2:07
is this: when you choose growth and
2:09
liberation, those around you and the relationships
2:11
in your life will shift. Why? Because
2:14
the next level of loving relationship requires
2:16
everything to go to the next level
2:18
to Iraq wires that who we were
2:20
as a couple and as individuals guys
2:22
with the old relationship is doesn't always
2:24
mean the dissolution of the partnership. although
2:26
it certainly can mean that. but it
2:29
does require the death of old patterns
2:31
requires breaking up With that. breaking up
2:33
starts with who we were in the
2:35
previous dynamic. In partnership sometimes
2:37
you are reluctant to take the full
2:40
leap into a new dynamic because you
2:42
and or your partner not both all
2:44
and on taken that deeper dive. A
2:47
reluctance can sometimes be because of our lack
2:49
of trust in our partner to be there
2:51
when things get hard. A lack
2:53
of trust that they are leaping to. But.
2:56
You see that this is still part of
2:58
the same imprisoned on liberated pattern. I need
3:00
to know your go there so I can
3:02
go there. I need to know your courageous.
3:05
I'm willing to go to the vulnerable play
3:07
so I can to so I won't be
3:09
alone. Their. This is the
3:11
trick though. When you lego
3:13
familiar patterns and break up with what
3:15
was even if your partner and or
3:17
the relationship doesn't survive the leap. You
3:20
will. When you decide
3:22
to enter a healing process wholeheartedly, you
3:24
will be free of the need to
3:26
make sure that others will join you.
3:28
Through leaping. You are committed to both
3:31
love and liberation. What finds you on
3:33
the other side may not be your
3:35
partner, but it will be aligned. What
3:37
is breaking up a normal mean? But
3:39
when we're bringing our normal were breaking
3:41
up with the rules that we played
3:44
in the survival strategies that we've layered
3:46
on in order to protect ourselves. This
3:48
is some of the hardest part of
3:50
transitioning to. Living from what we
3:52
might know as was true for I
3:54
was living in life is now a
3:56
line with what we value and what
3:58
we want to create. Like when we
4:01
start to take responsibilty where the relationships
4:03
we want to create our lives. This
4:05
is one of the hardest steps is
4:07
trusting that what is coming forward for
4:09
us and for the other person is
4:11
actually in service of both of us.
4:13
I know for me, for example, when
4:15
someone has less to me or the
4:17
relationship wasn't for them, I had a
4:19
lot of resistance to that. I would
4:21
want to convince them fry. let's do
4:23
this at one of five for it.
4:25
But in hindsight, I actually recognize that
4:27
if a relationship is not something someone
4:29
else. Wants to choose? then. It's
4:32
not something I want to choose either,
4:34
like a qualifier for me to invest
4:37
in something is that someone else wants
4:39
to invest. And I
4:41
think a lot of what breaking up
4:43
when normally as is breaking up with
4:45
these old patterns, these old ways of
4:47
being so of where the person who
4:49
has consistently been the one showing up
4:51
and trying to fight for two people
4:54
we can never do enough work for
4:56
to part of our ceiling if that's
4:58
or pattern is actually. Taking
5:00
our energy and putting it back
5:02
in our own bodies it's been
5:04
so outwardly focus that to get
5:06
back into our own internal world
5:08
and say look at actually if
5:10
I truly mannered. And.
5:12
Stop trying to fight for everything when things
5:15
are fighting for me. Now this isn't to
5:17
say that there isn't a time to fight
5:19
for relationship. Of course I'm not saying that's
5:21
not true. What I am saying is if
5:24
you're pattern has to be the one who's
5:26
always doing in the healing is to say.
5:29
You know why. I
5:31
wouldn't do that anymore. I need someone
5:33
who is willing to show up at
5:35
the same level and we have to
5:38
remember. And we are the
5:40
common denominator in our relational experiences. So
5:42
if we're choosing people who can swap
5:44
fully for us, then it's likely also
5:46
because we don't create space for people
5:48
to do a memory we have a
5:50
hard time receiving love. I sale of
5:52
this because the things we touch on
5:54
in the clip you're about to hear.
5:56
You're going to see or imperative for
5:58
every relationship in your life. And
6:00
they are imperative for your romantic
6:02
relationship so that you can create
6:04
a baseline in a standard for.
6:07
Who you are, how you want
6:09
to show up to love to
6:11
life and to everything. So without
6:13
further ado, here's a clip from
6:15
or audio book. But
6:21
first these messages our new
6:23
book is out in available
6:26

6:28

6:30

Now! Are
7:15
a Chapter Five Breaking up
7:18
with normal eighty A Breaking
7:20
up with what is familiar.
7:22
Light has been. Are
7:24
normal? What has been some earlier in
7:26
our life and in order to do
7:28
this work of breaking up with one
7:31
has been familiar, We really need to
7:33
resource. And we need to
7:35
resource well because are nervous systems in
7:37
order to step out of familiar groups
7:39
of what has been coded as safe
7:41
whether that is and identity or. Moving
7:44
out of toxic environment or had a
7:46
toxic relationships we need to know. That
7:49
we have an inner foundation available
7:51
to us to lean back on.
7:53
Not only an inner foundation, but.
7:56
An external communities are
7:58
person. Help us
8:00
move through. This. Break Up
8:03
Process This is one of my
8:05
favorite chapters. Because. It
8:07
really poses the question. That.
8:10
I needed to pose to myself. You needed
8:12
to post yourself. We needed supposed to each
8:14
other. Was. Like when are we
8:16
gonna get tired of are like what's
8:18
going. And what's happening? And.
8:20
Actually be in service of each other's
8:23
sell said. We. Shouldn't have
8:25
to be unhappy to be in a relationship
8:27
together with enough to feel like we're not
8:29
being brought fully alive by that. We actually
8:31
have to turn down our life to be
8:33
in it. I think what was so confronting
8:35
for us speak for myself with. Love.
8:37
To hear that. Is. That.
8:40
I. Loved you so deeply and really
8:43
believed in the possibility of us
8:45
that. That was hard to
8:47
be with. Like, how could someone I
8:49
have so much reverence for and love
8:51
for not be my purse and like
8:53
not be someone I can do this
8:55
with A good didn't make any sense.
8:58
And that was move. That was maybe
9:00
the hardest part for me to confront,
9:03
but when it was confronted because it
9:05
was through. And we
9:07
got to the places. No more
9:09
will this be what we tolerate
9:12
from what we're creating. know each
9:14
other on some level. Been in.
9:16
Oh, enemy. And wouldn't think lower
9:18
energizing in the dynamic. This is fierce.
9:20
Loves her. This is truly like it.
9:23
This feels to me like the essence
9:25
of their flaws. Where. It's like I
9:27
can be with his shirt even though it's
9:29
painful. But this is the most loving truth
9:31
which is this isn't working. And who's
9:33
gonna stand for it? Because usually one person stands
9:36
for first, you know? But I think the beauty
9:38
of this audiobook if you're listening to it together,
9:40
is that you could say we both knew. Him
9:43
An act of of listening to it.
9:45
That's happening. But. Also just
9:47
threw. A. Coup takes
9:49
the stand. You know, like when were
9:51
single? If you're listening and you're single
9:54
or dating. You. Take the stand
9:56
now. Yeah, easy to stand for
9:58
sure and I think. You.
10:00
Know we see a lot a means of like jump
10:02
and the net will appear. Or. Like
10:04
those me about themselves on.
10:06
School. No, I'm not. I'm not
10:08
insulting them, I just hanging from
10:10
a nervous system perspective. I might
10:13
get help me build some stepping
10:15
stones to help yourself Like. Jump
10:17
Renewal leaders, regulators within the
10:19
Soviet. Union Laundering and then
10:21
you have to figure. It's like I
10:23
think there's a i'm a gentler path
10:26
that we can walk sometimes by providing
10:28
ourselves with the resource we need in
10:30
order to move out of Dynamics Healthier
10:32
doesn't make sense Like for me when
10:34
I look at how I left my
10:37
divorce Holy and know know that Nine
10:39
leave a relationship like it was just
10:41
like I was like okay, you're not
10:43
lose My soul was like you're not
10:45
listening, you're not losing Okay, we'll just
10:48
below that one up. And in
10:50
like, you'll be floundering literally trying to figure out
10:52
who you are in which is. Hop in for
10:54
the next decade. and it's like some. He.
10:57
I was so average be part of been lower
10:59
months ago. And stuff. but it's true. like
11:01
I was not resource like that thing blew
11:03
up and it was like luckily. We're not
11:05
to mention. Community. Will
11:08
eventually eradicated. So if you don't
11:10
am community in the time of
11:12
change, an incomplete disruption, Were.
11:14
Not resource. right?
11:16
And ironic to me that so many
11:18
of our closest communities exile us when
11:20
relationships and I think it's one of
11:22
the saddest years of life. We're.
11:25
I would agree and I think that
11:27
was the different difference between my divorce
11:29
and are rupture. Because
11:31
when when we ended our relationship.
11:34
There. Was. So. Much growth that
11:36
we're done with the container. Really sums
11:38
of money than prior. That. We.
11:40
Were able to india in a good way. We were
11:42
able to leave with love. I was
11:45
able to leave previous relationship with love.
11:47
My emotional maturity was not there and
11:49
I think this is the money. It's
11:51
a brilliant actor is really allowing us
11:54
to resource both internally and externally in
11:56
ways and allow us to leave things
11:58
with more honor with more care, more
12:00
gray with more love that how adults.
12:03
Mature. Adults. Leave things
12:05
they don't even believe I'm Well,
12:07
it was possible that we love
12:09
so that we don't create work
12:11
karmic patterns of pain. Boy in a
12:13
look at my parents got divorced they
12:16
they're awful to each other, people go
12:18
to break up there awful, do each
12:20
other and then the template keeps game
12:22
passed on their endings. Kids are na
12:24
cl years and things are no failures
12:26
right? That that can be the most
12:28
loving thing and that love can be
12:30
expanded through these choices. It offers such
12:32
potential for the world when we into
12:34
personally engaged like this and I know
12:36
you're already heard this. But my favorite
12:38
part of this. Chapter. Is.
12:42
When you stop trying to do everything you
12:44
can to stay together and instead focus on
12:46
bringing out each other's late and celebrate each
12:48
other's truth no matter how much it hurts.
12:50
Mother's truly shared and honored. As
12:53
everything including that you need
12:56
to have community and be
12:58
internally resourced and really consider
13:00
your nervous system in these
13:02
lease. Is imperative so we're
13:05
gonna keep going deeper than. It's
13:07
get resources.
