In this conversation, Karmen chats with master coach Megan Thoma about toxic relationships and the process of healing and reclaiming oneself. They discuss falling in love with the potential instead of the person, the impact of childhood experiences on what we seek in relationships, and the importance of self-awareness. Megan shares her 3 R's transformational process: Remembering, Releasing, and Reclaiming. They explore the process by examining the negative and positive characteristics of Karmen's parents and the role they played in her relationship patterns. Megan emphasizes the importance of being true to yourself and refusing to settle for a watered-down version of of you. They also delve into the concept of the Imago, which is the image of love that we carry with us and how it influences our partner choices. Megan also highlights the need for self-awareness and expressing our needs in relationships.
