366: Losing yourself in relationships

At Carla's recent Hen Parties (yes... there were 2!) everyone wrote a piece of advice regarding marriage and relationships. A common thread was about keeping your individual selves within the marriage. It's quite easy to lose yourself in a relationship, married or not! We chat on this topic and more.

This is what we spoke about during the episode

When Joel and I started dating five years ago, I definitely lost myself in the beginning. The book Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés completely changed my life and how I approach my relationship.
It's a lot easier to keep your individual self when you have a really strong sense of yourself.
Why setting boundaries and prioritising the relationship with yourself is important.
Don't wait for the relationship, do all the things alone.
What to do if you have lost yourself?
