29: Timely Relationship Advice with Ajna Pisani

I am so excited to welcome you all to today’s episode where I have the opportunity to engage with my very special guest, Ajna Pisani, in a highly relevant discussion about relationships and the impact our current situation can have upon them. Ajna is a psychotherapist and transformative coach with a wealth of knowledge and advice regarding relationships and transformative theories, which, I know you will agree, is just what we all need right now.

In this episode, we look at relationship mission statements and shared visions, the stories we create in our heads and how they affect our relationships, and the power of committing to be in ‘good will’ with our partners. Ajna also shares her suggestions for working on relationships, and offers advice for those who are living through these difficult times without a partner.  You will find, as you listen, that Ajna and I speak the same language, finding opportunity and hope in this ‘global period of transformation’, encouraging you all to ‘stay healthy, stay safe, [and] stay connected, whatever that means to you’.

I must also emphasize that, should you ever find yourself in a relationship where you do not feel safe and/or your children are not safe, there is always help available for you. Check the resources in the links below, or contact me and I will help you find them.

Quotes:

“Everybody is being forced to turn inward, which I think is kind of a good thing in some ways – super painful in others.”

“We are never in the same relationship as our partner. We have our own separate created realities.”

“The only person you ever let off the hook with forgiveness is yourself.”

“I think that people make relationships more difficult and complicated when they try and work through problems.”

“I also really think that you have so much more control over how things go than you think you might.”

“Always come back to seeing what you can see more deeply about love and compassion for yourself…that will always be the fertile soil for any relationships that you have.”
