14. We Are Caretakers With Nico Barraza

In the month of September I am hosting a 3-part Virtual Workshop to help you discover your life’s purpose. In the Upgrade Your Reality Bootcamp you will identify your life purpose GPS coordinates, what’s keeping you stuck and the key difference between people who are thriving financially, relationally, professionally and spiritually and those who are stagnant and playing small in life. Our first live Workshop will be September 14th. If you’re ready to stop asking the question “what is my purpose” and are ready to start living it, join me for the Upgrade Your Reality Bootcamp today.  Every week I am so honored to speak with different individuals about their AMAZING success and advice. This week is an extra special one! I am joined by Nico Barraza, a friend and fellow podcaster who Starves the Ego and Feeds the Soul. In this episode Nico and I discuss growing through relationships, the importance of connecting with others and yourself, and even how psychedelics have played an important role in dealing with trauma.  Grow Through The Relationships You Gain and Lose [9:41]  “I wanted to take action; I wanted to DO.” “Everyone will benefit from you doing the work on yourself.” Be Open to Growth and Change [18:02]  “People will come into your life at the times you need them most and teach you lessons that you don’t expect to learn.” “I really want to be seen, but if I can see myself, then I can never fully see in others.” Creating a Partnership [24:31]  “A lot of people look for themselves in a partner, but that’s not how love works.” “Is it fair to require someone to grow to a level that: 1. They don’t want 2. Might not be capable of or 3. Might not be ready for?” “You have the responsibility to the relationship to say “this is enough for me and I'm okay”; to accept that the person can grow on their own accord if they so choose to.”  The Depth of a Connection [34:17]  “If you’re looking for a deep connection, it has to be welcomed; you have to be open.” Knowing your partner’s wounds is a love language- if your partner doesn’t know those things for themselves, ti will be hard to navigate” Be Conscious of Connection [39:41]  “The more I understand about myself, the more I understand my non-negotiables for another human being.” “We all need connection to thrive.” “Be appreciative of what you have in front of you, instead of what you’re yearning for in your imagination. We’re so outwardly curious, we forget to appreciate what’s around us.” Human Soulwork [45:18]  “The power of your psyche is insane. You have access to higher states of consciousness. It helps you look less extern Connect with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecoachablepodcast/ Connect with Tori on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachtorigordon/ Guess what?!
