Self-Love and Relationships: Wisdom from Stephanie D McKenzie on Friday Night Feels

I think the challenge is that we've been taught to love, and love is what we build a relationship on, and that's it. I don't care how much we love each other.
Ever wondered how self-love impacts your relationships? In this episode of 'Friday Night Feels', host Patrick Monette is joined by relationship coach Stephanie D McKenzie to tackle this very question. Stephanie, who owns The Firm in Texas, brings her wealth of experience in healing and coaching to the table, offering practical advice and heartfelt insights. She shares her unique journey into relationship coaching, which began unexpectedly while she was working in marketing and business consulting.
Realizing a gap in relationship education, she pivoted to coaching, helping countless individuals and couples along the way. Stephanie emphasizes that self-love is crucial for building healthy relationships. She points out that many people love their partners more than they love themselves, which often leads to unmet expectations and frustration. By prioritizing self-love and self-care, individuals can create more fulfilling and balanced relationships.
The episode also delves into the concept of balance, which Stephanie describes as a dance rather than a static state. As long as you're in flow, you're on the right path. People-pleasing is another key topic discussed. Stephanie candidly shares her own struggles with people-pleasing and stresses the importance of setting boundaries to maintain dignity and respect in relationships. Communication is also highlighted as a powerful tool for navigating triggers and traumas.
Asking the right questions, Stephanie says, can be life-changing. The episode wraps up with a discussion on the seasons of life and relationships. Stephanie explains that these seasons don't have to be long; they can be as brief as a week but are essential for growth and understanding. For anyone looking to improve their relationships through self-love and better communication, this episode is a must-listen.
