“Our entire experience of life boils down to relationship. From the intimacy we crave with a partner to the success we achieve through our work. None of it is possible without understanding our own psychology and the psychology of those we relate to. We never learned this at school, but it is learnable.” - Jillian Turecki

What does it mean to be blocked from love?

• Your psychology determines your energy and how you show up in your life.
• “Just because you really want something, doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s coming to you as quickly as you would like it to come.”
• When we’re in a desperate place we’re blocking ourselves.

5 Ways to identify if you’re blocking yourself from love?

• Are you afraid? Maybe you want a relationship, but you also associate a lot of pain with relationships.
• Are you losing faith? Or maybe you’ve put yourself out there so much + are losing faith that it’ll happen.
• What’s fueling your desire? Anxiety, desperation, fear?
• Do you feel desperate for love?
• Maybe even obsessed with a relationship? Like your life, purpose, and calling revolve around getting married. (aka...my life will start when I meet my person)?

How buying into the myth of the ‘independent woman’ could be keeping you from love:

• Are you independent, codependent, or interdependent?
• Codependence: I can’t be happy unless you’re happy. I don’t know what my needs are. I can’t focus on my life because I’m only focusing on yours.
