From Roommates To Lovers - Foundations - LaRocque Life Ep. 26
Nov 23, 2022Do you feel like your spouse is more like your roommate than an actual partner, let alone lover? Or maybe you’re missing that spark that you used to have and want to reignite that passion? If you love your partner but you just know deep down that it could be even deeper and you want more, this is an episode you can’t afford to miss.
We’re taking a deep dive into what it actually means to take personal responsibility, why awareness is oh-so-important to owning your shit, and giving you some actionable tips to set boundaries within yourself, for yourself. Creating a shift in your relationship starts with you and your energy, emotions, and actions, and by the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear idea of how to take those first steps to getting out of the friend zone with your partner.
