Enjoy! Welcome to Monday Microdose. Today we're featuring Natalie Kennedy, a meditation teacher and relationship anxiety coach, specializes in teaching mindfulness and partnerships and supporting those with one foot out the door in their relationships. Expect to learn how to reframe commitment and embrace the pain of choice. The importance of leaning into this comfort for personal and relational growth. Techniques for dialoguing with different versions of yourself to gain perspective. In the segment, Natalie shares insights on navigating the complexities of relationships. She challenges the notions of right and wrong choices and emphasizes the inevitability of pain in any path we choose. Her perspectives encourages us to embrace discomfort and use it as a tool for growth and deeper connection. This conversation is a powerful reminder that our most significant growth often comes from facing our fears and making conscious, sometimes difficult, decisions. So often we feel like we need to let follow this storyline as something be like, "If Mary, you're a house, you get kids," instead of, "Okay, this is our start to create. We've decided to be the creators of this reality." I found that really beautiful. A lot of people have a hard time leaning into relationships, especially these days. Like I mentioned before, there's all these options. So how would you reframe that for someone who's, "Ah, I don't feel like I am right to commit to one person?" How would you encourage someone to lean more into that if they're not apprehensive? Well, that's a good question. I completely agree, and I think it's important to question this idea of right and wrong. There is no right or wrong. There's pros and cons, no matter what choice you make, and I think a lot of people get really confused because they think that the right choice is always going to feel good and feel comfortable and feel right. Sometimes that's true. Sometimes there's a choice that is very clear, yes. But we live in a society that says, "If it's not a fuck, yes, it's a fuck, no, either." And I think that's true sometimes, but sometimes there isn't a fuck, yes. And the only options are, maybe, and if it's a clear choice, then you make that. But when it's not, you can either choose to wait until the choice becomes clear, or you can make a decision, not knowing and trust that life is going to work its way around your decision, consider people who are on the fence about having kids or not having kids. That might have been nice. I spent a long time thinking about that, do we want kids or not? And we saw both paths, and in both paths, we saw joys and pains. Maybe it's not about finding the path with no pain. It's about choosing which pain you want. For me, my path has been choosing the pain of commitment. Make no mistakes, it's very challenging. And some people don't want that, and that's completely fine. So a lot of people hate anxious love coach because they think, "Not only says you should stay, no matter what," I'm saying, "No, that's not what I'm saying." I'm saying that no matter what choice you make, there's going to be pain. And so if you can get comfortable with that fact, then you can be more conscious about it because a lot of these choices, pain is a package deal. Having kids, pain is built into that. Not having kids, pain has been built into that. So choose the pain that you want. If however, you notice that the idea of a long-term committed partnership, monogamous, and there's all these agreements and they're all beautiful in their own way with pros and cons. But if you deep down, you would like to do a long-term conscious monogamous partnership, but you keep sabotaging it and finding that you say you want that, but actually your behavior says the opposite. I would get to know the fear underneath and really give it space to exist. One thing that's been very helpful for me is when you make a choice, somewhere in the cosmos, there's a version of you that took another path. And you can actually have a dialogue with that part of yourself and like almost pretend that your neighbors in different realities, my teacher called a polarity work, some people call it parts work, where I sit down with this version of me and the version of me that took another life path. And we have a conversation and I'm like, "Man, I envy you so much." A lot of it's way more fun to actually go and sit inside of her body and take on her energy and I imagine her circumstances and I imagine looking back at me. And she would say, "Dude, there's so much SHIT on this end, too, that you're not seeing and actually there's a lot of envy about your situation." And that helps get a bigger, more nuanced perspective of the situation and understand that when you make a choice, leave room to grieve your unlived lives. And that's been very helpful for me. And I think because in the time that we live in, we have that listen time, we have all the easy access to just things being delivered at a front door where there's no pain or suffering or commitment needed. We're very used to the tolerance for instead of realizing that a lot of the things we really want in life might need some offers to integrate it into what we want to do and who we are. It's the same thing when you're making a career. It's being devoted to that path or being devoted to a mission, it can be challenging at times. It's its own initiation and partnership can be the same. And we're like, "Okay, I'm studying Kabbalah at the moment." And that's also really, it has this beautiful reframe of whenever you are really having a hard time, you're getting challenged to hold more light whenever fear is arising, whenever you're feeling like you're not being treated like you think you're supposed to do, that's actually just working or chipping away on what is called your tikkun, which is like the karma that you came into this life to work through or the issues. So it's, and I think that's also just such a tangible way to view it when we can, there's a lot of different theories about, okay, do we come into this life and everything's already set? Like this life path is a set. Who would you chose? We have karma and there's this belief that you create everything in this reality yourself. I believe that both of those things can be true simultaneously. I do believe that there are certain things we came into this lifetime to work on and that there are certain things that we have choice of, but it's like how big those initiations are and how long they take or often a little bit off to our own choice and how able we are to meet it head on instead of, so often we would be like, "Ah, this is uncomfortable. I'm just going to get out of this," instead of being like, "Okay, what is this asking me to rise to? What level of person do I need to be?" in order to actually rise to this occasion. And what is it to learn here for me instead of being like, "Okay, I'm just going to opt out. This is getting a little tense, a little challenging," to be like, "What lessons are here for me?" We're so used to just being easy so when we can reframe our lives to be that way because I think that's how you really build character in many ways and build trust in your relationship and in yourself and that's where every relationship springs out from, so if we don't have that inner trust, it's going to be really hard to trust in someone else because we can't rely on ourselves how are we going to show up in that relationship and that becomes its own anxiousness. To recap, you've learned the significance of reframing commitment and understanding the pain of choice, the necessities of leaning into discomfort with personal and relational growth, how to use dialoguing with different versions of yourself as a technique to game perspective.
