Episode 19 - Spiritual Love

River + Michele deep dive into Spiritual Love. 

Sometimes these spiritual loves are meant to last, and sometimes they’re meant to merely guide us in the right direction and then leave us to it. Dr. Alise Holland explains: “People come into our lives for either life blessings or life lessons. When partners are connected to their spirituality, then they can identify the purpose of a relationship.”

1. Life blessings: What exactly does Holland mean when she says people come into our lives to serve as life blessings? They complement and further our efforts in building a meaningful life. “For instance, individuals may come together to raise children or create something for humanity.”
2. Life lessons: Others enter our lives to teach us important life lessons that support healthy growth and development. “When one or the other partner has life lessons to work on that the soul needs to learn that involve healing childhood emotional issues such as abandonment, rejection, or personal power issues, then he or she attracts the perfect soulmate to help him or her grow spiritually.”

River shares about a "love" reading she got recently. 

Plus, we mention Rich Roll and Julie Piatt. If you don't know who they are, then go learn more about them. That particular episode opens through the lens of their twenty-three years together and they discuss how to intentionally evolve a long-term relationship beyond calcified habits, routines, expectations, and projections—and summon the courage to truly see and allow yourself to be seen by and with your partner.
