Navigating Our Protective Mechanisms in Relationships

In this episode of the Love, Sex, and Freedom podcast, Raven guides us through the journey of breaking down barriers and nurturing a more open and empowered self. We delve into the concept that our protective mechanisms might be obstructing us from living with an open heart, leading to challenges such as anxious attachment or tendencies to overgive or avoid in relationships.

Throughout the episode, Raven underlines the crucial importance of living openly, urging us all to recognize and understand our defence mechanisms. The message is clear: love itself isn't the threat—it's our struggle to keep our hearts open that presents a challenge.

Key takeaways from this episode:
- Understanding our protective mechanisms
- The importance of inner union
- The power of self-love
- The power of vulnerability
- Understanding the role of relationships in awakening

Quotes from Episode:

"If there's one thing I want you all to remember today, it's that there's a huge obstacle between where we are now and living from an open heart, and that obstacle is our protective mechanisms."

“You deserve to be with someone who is in alignment with you. You deserve an extraordinary relationship, and that extraordinary connection is a natural consequence of cultivating an extraordinary relationship with yourself. Because if that's what you're used to, you won't settle for anything less."
