Do you make a conscious choice to check in with yourself and your partner regularly? The truth is that every day you wake up, you get to decide how you handle the stress and pressure brought on by events in your day or by your relationship.
In this episode, the entrepreneurial husband and wife team of Ian and Meredith Lobas share the secrets of their partnership. They point out that communication is key and we need to be vulnerable without making our own meaning of things that happen. Although it might be hard to surrender to what’s to come without a Plan B, this is a crucial test of trust.
Ian and Meredith also advise individuals to be honest and accountable with themselves and blame no one but yourself for your successes and failures. After all, you have to put all the chips on you and bet on yourself. They remind listeners that it is best to focus your energy on trust and faith, rather than blame and anger, bearing in mind that you will attract what you focus on.
There are tons of valuable tips in this episode, including the importance of giving yourself grace and learning one thing today to make tomorrow better. Ian and Meredith also warn that if your partner isn’t willing to trust and grow with you, if they cannot take a leap and trust in challenging themselves, it will hold you back, yet you must allow your partner to work through things at their pace in their own way, as long as they are committed.
At the end of the episode listen for your challenge: think back to the things that you felt helped you as a couple, like communication or surrender or faith and trust or genuine curiosity about learning. Make a list of all the things that were mentioned in the conversation and then review.
