In this touching and informative family conversation, we discuss the popular phrase 'law of attraction' with regards to attracting partnerships. I start off by reminding us that our intimate relationships are the most important choice we'll ever make, so it's worth our time and reflection. Our guest, Blair Abbass (my husband and Sophia's father), shares about his conditioned attraction to blond haired, blue eyed women because of his catholic upbringing and the loving nurse that cared for him as a child, which he had to dismantle this in order to recognize the soul connection he felt with me.
I share about how I took on finding a life partner with intense vigor and focus back in my twenties, having had mentors in the past who demonstrated what I didn't want. I learned through the process that I had to shift from that negative focus to what it was I actually did want in a life partner.
Blair, of course, was very keen to hear Sophia's list for her own future partner, which included a very mature list of qualities. She spoke about how obsessed our society is on beauty and how much young people place so much emphasis on appearances, which is one of her insecurities. Listen in for Sophia's list of qualities for her future person, Blair's admission about how many times a week he apologizes for messing up and how we choose to love each other despite our imperfections.
