LADIES, DON'T SETTLE! - The Big Signs He's NOT THE ONE For You! | Stephan Speaks

What resonated with you most from our chat with Stephan Speaks?

[@evka24]

everything...Stephan is amazing...but i agree attraction has to be kept...we have been married for 21 years and still cant keep hands of each other...dress nice be clean and smell good and of course be nice........watching from Cyprus

[@LisaBilyeu]

@@evka24 congrats on your long-lasting and healthy marriage. And thanks for watching!

[@gamu_official]

Definitely for me, it was recognizing the difference between fear and intuition. I can see where I've mistaken fear for intuition, and how easily I can think myself into a mess by over-analyzing or worse hypothesizing the worst possible scenrio, when there really isn't a problem.

[@GoddezsIesha]

The importance of actually being equally yoked.

[@LisaBilyeu]

@@TinaSotis question for you, how do you see yourself? Do you treat yourself the way you want a partner to treat you? Do you treat potential matches with the same level of demand and integrity that you hold yourself to? Do not get mired in the past, what your experiences were with men before doesn't have to be what you experience in the future. Believe they can be different by holding your standard high. Look for the connection and enjoy who you meet and what you discover about yourself.

[@katkanegyke177]

I did the unimaginable and broke up with my boyfriend three years ago. I’d never been single for longer then a month before him, I was so dependent on others that I couldn’t function on my own (so I thought). Three years ago it was scary and I thought I couldn’t survive but it was a horrible relationship for both of us. I needed a lot of healing and inner work so I decided to be alone as long as I need it. Here I am today, a completely different person, I love myself and my life as it is. And the best part... although I’m open to be in a relationship I don’t mind if it doesn’t happen. I’m good either way ☺️☺️

[@LisaBilyeu]

This kind of strength is so so valuable. You now know you can be you with or without someone. You will no longer be looking for someone else to make your life - you will make your life and if you decide to have a partner they only enrich that life. You always know you can stand on your own two feet.

[@fiveyearstoforty313]

[@joywest33]

Yep, one year in and doing so much awesome living I wouldn’t mess it up for anything less than what I want in a man. If he doesn’t exist, well then, more good stuff to do regardless!

It's scary how we can rationalise away our instincts. In my experience the hardest and most important step is getting in touch with your instinct and actually being able to identify it.

The fear of being alone, the fear of not fitting in...it is easy to fall victim to the inner voices!

The fear of aging... I’m 64 and have been in a toxic marriage for 38 years. I came from a home that trauma bonding incurred. I didn’t love myself enough nor strong enough to leave when the signs presented itself. Now the fear of aging/being alone does play into it as well as financially. I never had any children and don’t even know where I would go. Wish I had listened to my gut 2 years into this marriage.

[@tespinosa89]

I’m sorry you are going through this. Can you reach out to friends and family for help? Sending you positivity and strength ✨

[@tinker2217]

Wow... that's deep. I'm in a 21 year marriage and I had a feeling he wasn't the one when I walked down the aisle. But I figured it was too late to turn around. Seeing the amount of years you've been married jarred me. I keep giving myself deadline after deadline to leave if this looks like it's not going to work. I've done that the last 6 years. I don't want to be here in year 38 thinking the same thing. 😶

Healing is soo, soo important before you get into any relationship! There are too many unhealed people going around hurting people who should not be dating. Building a relationship with yourself first and truly loving yourself is the foundation before considering a relationship! Loved this interview Lisa! 🙏🏻💞

[@elep3559]

I would LOVE a video like this on not settling but in friendships! Sometimes I find ending unhealthy friendships harder than romantic relationships. Also it seems we have to be friends with everyone and almost taboo to end friendships even if they are draining and toxic.

[@mfrance3834]

At the beginning of each year my hubby and I sit down, with paper and pen…we vm each make a list of every single thing each of us would like to see happen or change fur the coming year. Can be small stuff, bigger stuff, whatever. Then we compare notes and come up with a plan that works for both of us. This keeps us aligned in our lives.

[@SejaL8.]

MY NOTES FROM THIS PODCAST: 1:54 why do we end up in relationship that we just settle for but deep down we actually knew that it wasn't right to begin with? 5:22 fundamentals of successful relationships. 8:44 difference between who we are(flaws) and correctable issues that we have (that needs improvement). 22:03 know the difference between the person who does not belong in our life and continues to do wrong and the person who does belong in our life but makes mistakes. 24:42 brief meaning and solution for "the problem of long relationships is you are not maintaining who they fell in love with". 35:04 are you really in love or is it just an attachment?

[@sheilaprice1942]

Emotional immaturity!! Damn this guy hit the nail on the head🙏🏼❤️

[@TiffanyHallmark]

This whole interview is amazing. I have been single for about a year now and learning a bit about myself is going to make a potential future relationship much better. I'm determined not to settle.

[@LisaBilyeu]

This work on self will only make any future relationship stronger and more valuable. Keep investing and working on you!

[@miriskafrancis7350]

I just want to weigh in here - I am currently in this kind of relationship and mindset. My partner does not openly or directly say these things to me but he shows this in his actions daily. I am in the process of healing and gaining more confidence and soon I'll be independent of him. I'm trying and so should every one of you! Good luck and all my love !

[@TheNinnyfee]

Being single for years makes me wonder whether it is easier to settle, no kidding. And meeting trash after trash doesn't make it easier, and I am not dishing out on nice regular guys here with whom it just didn't match, but on exploiters, frauds, addicts, professional victims, etc. There are a lot of them, especially online. Spirituality is often pretended, so is understanding and connection. For many men it is so much easier to pretend to hide an agenda than actually being honest. You cannot feel your way through this jungle of lies, insecurities, narratives, etc.

[@deepdiver849]

I so adore and respect Stephan 🙏🏼

[@marte1376]

Girl!! Break the pattern!!! I feel you, I am very sensitive and have trouble with setting boundaries. I attract abussive man and they're everywhere not just online. Break the pattern that gives negative things, break it!!!

[@truarnett5519]

The more you learn to use and trust your intuition,the more comfortable you will become in trusting it. Also asking God for wisdom is a big step. He will give it to you because He wants the best for you. 🙏💙🙏💙🙏

[@TheNinnyfee]

@@marte1376 I didn't even have the pattern any longer when I wrote this, but I wondered because high standards were such a pressure and unrealistic. And it opens you up to abuse if some narcissist guesses what you want. Now I have decided to stop dating full stop, it's a waste of time and energy that I can use for important issues. It feels really good to have my mind off it.

Most issues are behavioral/habitual. Those are correctable if you choose to do so, but people confuse them with character flaws, when we are criticized.

[@viktorijanovak336]

So many kids in relationships... And not even kids but brats.. Just dont be in a relationship if you need another person to keep you insoired and motivated. In the moment they will be sad or drained, you will blame them for you being less sucessful. There is a healthy amount for being inspired by anither but it should be a very small percentage..maybe 10 percent..relationship is a free space where you give and recieve. Recieve good and heathy words and actions, and give your healthy support, actions, etc. If you need love to be happy, you will make someone very sad because its a burden to carry. Relationships are not about lacking love but about sharing love

Such a precious episode, THANK YOU 😘 Every single second of it was valuable to me 💖💖💖

[@ninjaspam2000]

I totally have to challenge the point on connection. You can feel a connection with a person almost like you're drawn to them like they are a childhood friend and that person just be a representation of something that's happened in your life that shared experience shared knowledge etc. For instance having a connection with an attractive single guy who has a daughter and it's fun and charming. Well if you were the daughter of a single father that dynamic that you're observing and connection that you're feeling with that person maybe just a reflection of a lack and a relationship that you were missing from your father. And well you shouldn't screw your parents. The second point is there are some people who are very good at making you feel loved and cherished and connected to and have bad intentions or are completely misdirected. By using your feelings as the only barometer you neglect the potential that you could be dating a sociopath.

I myself have had many relationship with men . I have been married once many years ago . When you feel unloved or unappreciated you don't want to be seen as a person who constantly feels like she is the one with mental health problems 24/7 .You finally realize certain people only want you in their only to see what they can get from you . When it comes to the crunch I have been chewed up and spat out many many time . I'm done with that . I healing myself and being cautious of who I allow in my life now as people can be great pretenders either being a friend or boyfriend . Love is love . I give love without expecting nothing more than respect. Love yourself first best advice I have had in a long time. I have children and grandchildren . I'm a happy women.
