Do you believe that there is just one amazing person out there for you? And IF you find them, then the rest of your life would just fall into place? You know, I sometimes wish there was an easy 3 step process to finding your soul mate. But the reality is, this traditional concept of a “soul mate” can really mess with our hearts and minds because it’s not rooted in reality. In this episode, I am going to point out all the problems that surface when we are waiting for this “soul mate” to finally arrive. That future partner? They are not going to complete you. They are only the icing on the cake. You my friend, ARE the cake. Do you believe it? 

 

So then do we just toss out the idea of a soul mate? I don’t think that’s really necessary. I propose that all we need to do is broaden our definition of a soul mate. I even go so far as to say that our need for a soul mate can actually be found in a lot of friendships in addition to our partner. Sometimes a spouse or partner is really receptive and encouraging when we are in need. And sometimes a girlfriend is just a better person to process with. So then what is the sign of a true soul mate? Listen in to find out! 

 

In this episode we’ll explore: 

Why traditional definitions of a soul mate can set us up for disappointment in dating Why your choice to weather the hard seasons in a relationship can make all the difference Why we need more than just one person to be able to speak the truth back to us in difficult circumstances.
