In this week\\u2019s episode, Chief Victory Officer, Eric Guy, is once again joined by Alex Pursglove, Business and Transformation Coach. They discuss how to deepen your relationships by cultivating trust and acceptance of others.

Takeaways:
- Understanding vulnerability requires discerning what it is not.
- Nourish the growth of your relationship by articulating your needs while graciously making room for your partner\\u2019s desires.
- The catalyst for change doesn\\u2019t always require detailed descriptions; often, embodying the change itself is the most potent force.
- Experiencing acceptance in our most vulnerable state from someone we love stands as one of life\\u2019s most beautiful and fulfilling encounters.
- Break free from people-pleasing by transforming your relationship with yourself. Authentic self-honesty paves the way for openness with those closest to you.
- Gauge your partner\\u2019s readiness by checking their capacity to engage with your thoughts: \\u201cOn a scale of 1 to 10, how open are you to discussing this right now?\\u201d
- Foster honesty and a non-judgmental atmosphere in your relationship by incorporating the phrase: \\u201cMy preference is that we _______, and I\\u2019m open to your genuine feelings about this.\\u201d
- Encouraging openness about desires invites a judgment-free space for genuine honesty.
- Shift from personalizing your feelings to framing them as the narrative you\\u2019re experiencing when communicating about emotions.

Quotes:
- \\u201cTo trust another person, you need to start with trusting yourself.\\u201d
- \\u201cAddress the problem as US against the issue, instead of YOU being the issue.\\u201d
- \\u201cWhen you remove judgement, your left with acceptance.\\u201d

MAKE THIS YOUR BEST DAY YET!
