@@TheRoommatesPodcast hey...just a suggestion...I think this will help you in many ways but I suggest you guys read and discuss these books... it correlates with much of what Stephan talks about, in my opinion, but if you want, check out these 2 books "Understanding the Power And Purpose of Men" also "Understanding the Power And Purpose of Women" both written by Dr. Myles Munroe. Great, transformative book and it, just like the advice Stephan gives in my opinion of course,.... I think your audience would be truly blessed by you all reading, sharing and discussing both books. Much love, peace, respect and prosperity to you all. God bless.

As a female I must say observing your vulnerability made you appear extremely attractive. Hearing about the lengths you would go to for a female is beautiful and defitnetly something to hold on to. I pray you guard your heart until you meet the one who cares :) x

[@katarzynaklos6527]

Noe'l Shaefon TV it’s crazy. We must train ourselves to understand the difference between holding ourselves accountable, taking lessons, moving forward and beating ourselves up, staying in that emotional prison. There’s a difference between 2. I always say to myself, when I do something messed up, “God already forgave you and you not gonna forgive yourself? Who do you think you are?” Then burst into tears bevasue I know that’s him talking to me through me.

Things we can't even control

[@patrickk9539]

Ghosting has a lot to do with someone’s comfort level and how they deal with their emotions, A lot of people anticipate that talking about how they feel is going to be a confrontation. That mental expectation makes people want to avoid things that make them uncomfortable. ghosting actually reveals more about the personality of the ghostier than the ghostee. They’re dealing with depression or trauma.depressed people will just withdraw from everybody in their lives, without giving you head ups- I’m proud of your boldness- Sholom

[@TVStudiohc]

Personally, silence (not this trendy word of “ghosting”) is a powerful statement. It doesn’t always mean that the silent person is depressed or always dealing with trauma although that may also be true. Sometimes, it may be because the other party is not getting the message and going off in their own world and not listening; and sometimes, it is because the other party is not ready and cannot seem to accept the message. So it leaves the person unable to say anymore because talking isn’t solving the problem. It’s not anyone’s responsibility to heal other people’s issues but be responsible for our own forgiveness. I see us all blaming others for an expectation that was never supposed to be met by another. That is dangerous and arrogant on our part. I hope we all gain peace ourselves internally, never based on any external means.... 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

"Forgiveness is not an act of saying what that person did is okay or acceptable, it's simply saying I'm not holding onto this any longer" - Stephan. That hit me hard. I REALLY needed to hear this.Thank you! #freegift

[@TheRoommatesPodcast]

Glad that it was able to speak to you.

[@koroglurustem1722]

It's actually saying it voluntarily and from the gut. Because many times things we utter by mouth doesn't get below the neck and that doesn't do the job. So it has to come from the gut, or heart or soul or body whatever you want to call it. For it to work, we also need to have distinction, like discussed in the conversation, distinctions that to be forgiven we have forgive, also forgive ourselves, also know that we can do our part of the work, but cannot change heart of others and so on. I think, those distinctions, which is knowledge combined with act of forgiveness by utterance and feeling in a body will resolve the problem and bring up healing.

I can't wait to get a copy of the book and continue my healing journey. My favorite part was how you were talking about girl A and thought of girl E.

What Stephan said at 41:50 stood out to me the most because I struggle with forgiveness.

[@MacyZC55]

When Stephan mentioned that sometimes rejection is what's going to lead you to where you're truly meant to be is what stood up the most to me. I've been having a hard time believing those words, because sometimes it feels as if you're getting rejected over and over and over again, no matter how much you pour into a project, relationship or anything else. It gets quite frustrating over time, but no matter how hard it feels, giving up should never be an option. It feels as if you're wasting your energy when you keep going, but faith is what should fuel us. I won't deny how hard it is for me to maintain that mentality, but I'll never know how that could lead me to beautiful things if I just drop everything. I hope you guys have an amazing day! And never give up. Please, never give up! ^^ #FreeGift

[@markdavis1254]

The whole episode is what I needed to hear. I was in a 4yr relationship that was beyond toxic. We really lost who we were and transformed into people we hated. Eventually we got to a point where we broke it off. Long story short I did like any man did and tried to get back into the game. Sliding in DMs and everything.... but God wasnt having it. So I did something I had never done and I took the time to heal. I took a solid year and a half to not date, entertain or do anything. Really focus on what I like, dont like and my relationship with God. It was the best thing I had done. I started to feed myself differently by listening to a lot of TD Jake's, Devon Franklin, Myles Munroe, the Roommates and Stephan Labossiere. You change the way you think, you can change your life. Now I'm more happier than I ever have been. I wouldnt trade that time I had to really heal and get MYSELF back for anything. Huge fan of The Roommates and Stephan... guys have seriously helped me out in ways you would never know. God Bless #freegift

Definetly changed my mindset.Stephan's emphasis on forgiving people who hurt you and also yourself is life changing.Its so much easier to hang on to hurt than to actually move past it.There are always lessons be learnt and we are so hard on ourselves.Also his point on as much as we have been hurt at some point in our lives we have also hurt someone.So looking at hurt caused by others from that perspective enables us to move forward from a place of compassion.Its amazing how heartbreak changes you even with that change there is a choice..Its easier to choose to be bitter than to actually work towards being better and choosing better. #freegift

I hear a lot of codependency. A lot of searching for pleasing others or being “the best” at what we do or be seen as the best in our entourage.

This was a great segment. Collaborating together I think they brought many common concerns to light. The aspect of forgiveness hit home for me lol. I don't necessarily struggle with forgiving someone its more forgiveness within myself. I live in my personal truth and not afraid to give my honest opinion/ or my raw truth. Not gonna lie this came right on time lol dealing with the aftermath of an breakup and its exhausting I'm reading Stephan and Pastor R.C Blake's books as I write this but.....him stating the fact in order for me to fully let go I have to not only forgive those who hurt me but forgive myself as well. Living in limbo not a great feeling just as Hafeez mentioned I personally like suffer from just the thought that I have inflicted hurt/ pain upon someone else. But their breakdown points were wonderful. * I have to let go. Can't change the past holding on plants me to my past * Forgive. To give and be forgiven with myself * State of hurt/ pain. In order to avoid another failed situation, relationship, etc I personally need to re-center and just heal allowing that time for God to work on me. Rebuilding internally deep not just surface. Yessssssah!! Overall I love this segment it was enlightening and real. And I would love a copy of new book 😁 #Freegift

Thank you for your transparency. I am always surprised to hear men speak about being hurt. As Stephan says, it's not that you are not good enough, you are not meant for each other. You can't see it now, you will see it later. Believe me, I went through a similar situation for (8) years, being in a mental and emotional prison because he moved on and I couldn't, so much so, that I got sick and had to retire early. But, life has a way of coming back around. What we do to others, comes back to us, sometimes we get to see it and sometimes we don't. Then and only then do we find some gratitude for being moved out of the way.

[@hgzmatt]

That's an interesting way of seeing it and the one that will get you peace but I wonder how much of it is us justifying it with a story that we can live with. There was a fork on the road and it's the one without that person.

I am not familiar with this podcast, but I'm so grateful for the host and his openness which I know is hard to do. This whole love, relationship business is so hard and can be annoying. I just keep on being faithful and hopeful. God bless both men!

The most important take away for me was simply the fact of "Learning to forgive to set myself free!" Thank you Hafeez for sharing your experiences. #freegift

[@TheRoommatesPodcast]

Thanks so much.

@@TheRoommatesPodcast Great meeting you both at the I❤Me self love summit yesterday!🤗

[@medicineofnow]

Hi Hafeez, thank you so much for sharing your experience and for bringing Stephan in. May you stay healthy and be healed. Love from Hong Kong

[@na-il3282]

Keep this podcast 💯 and it will continue to grow and change lives

[@jasminebrewster9870]

Wow. That was deep! We all have been there. Real talk. I moved about transparency, I was good to see a Christian man pour out his heart about "heartbreak". And Stephan's counseling was great. This help me in so many ways. I am praying that God continues you on process of healing.

[@bridgetthomas6282]

So true, the truth will set you free! Because knowing the truth allows you to see and know what you're dealing with and when you know what you're dealing with it allows you to make a choice/ decision if it's something you choose your willing to accept/ deal with or not.

[@evasunshine809]

wow... the wrong person at the right time , is still the wrong person. Hafeez and Stephan this was a great episode.. Forgiveness of self is key TOO

[@TheRoommatesPodcast]

Glad it helped.

[@VJVid]

I really enjoyed hearing Hafeek open up about his heartbreak. As a man I've definitely been there but we're taught in this society to bottle up our emotions. Thanks for sharing your story! #FreeGift

[@TheRoommatesPodcast]

Glad it helped.

I just want to thank Hafiz for being vulnerable and sharing his story, it took a lot of courage. I can relate to a lot of it, especially self forgiveness. It’s easy for me to forgive others, it’s myself that I hold accountable and I’m not so gentle with. For me as a woman it also reminds me that both men and women have the same issue, it all boils down to worthiness. A lot of great information. I have read several of Stephan Labossiere’s books and even taken an online class but I’m especially excited to get my hands on this next one!!

[@TheRoommatesPodcast]

It is such a great book.

[@Radience100]

One of the best parts of this video was seeing the healing transformation when Hafeez finally released his feelings instead of suppressing them. I’m so glad that I too learned that persistence is not always key. Who God has for you is who he has for you. And who he does not have for you, he will keep away from you. This is not to hurt us, but to love us! Also, as many have already commented, “ rejection is re-direction” to Gods True calling and purpose for your life. #freegift

[@TheRoommatesPodcast]

Very true.

[@alexl7278]

Thank you for making space for such an open and vulnerable conversation. For me, I saw myself in getting fixated onto something or someone and subsequently feeling unworthy of their or mine love. Because if this person who I value and care for so much does not seem to have the same feelings, that must mean I am not worthy of them. It would make me suffer and that in turn would make me long for this approval and love even more. I realize that a person should not substitute me, but rather complement me and journey with me to improvement and mutual kindness. In order to be with someone who can do that, I first and foremost have to be in line with my beliefs, respect myself and improve for myself. #freegift

[@TheRoommatesPodcast]

I am glad that it was able to help

[@slowjamsization]

I thank God he put me in the path of this particular podcast. I adore your energy hafeez & Chris. It inspires me to only what this type of energy of & be this energy. Just amazing & awesome!

[@natashaj4078]

This was powerful.. thank you for sharing so openly and transparently. As a woman, I don't think I often get to see the other side of the hurt equation, often because there's no room given for it, or if it's displayed, it's quickly pushed away or men are scolded for displaying their feelings. One of the biggest take aways?? That if it doesn't fit, don't idealize to make it fit, and make sure that when praying about that relationship that you're actually asking God a question - First it opens you to receive an answer instead of an endorsement, and ensures that your not praying with an idol in your heart, and secondly, leave room and time to hear an answer vs. FOCUSING on the issue. #FreeGift

[@TheRoommatesPodcast]

Thanks for sharing.

[@karlaandrade4089]

Hafeez just want you to know that I have mad respect for you for putting yourself out there. It gives me a lot of insight with struggles that men have. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Ps you are MORE than good enough

[@TheRoommatesPodcast]

Preciate it.

[@chenk2106]

This is bravery and courage. To put a content like this for the whole world to see, I have to applaud your dedication to heal and courage to confront your demons

[@TheRoommatesPodcast]

Thanks.

[@NotYourMommaMia]

Hafeez, your vulnerability here is truely inspiring. Thank you 💕

[@FoodTrucksForDummies]

I wish I could be as honest and open as you guys.

[@HelenSincerely]

You can.. 🙂

[@XxRadburryxX]

This episode is just so comforting. Just seeing how vulnerable men can be just inspires me so much. It’s also so funny how I felt the same as you did Hafeez and I kind of saw myself in your story. What I did learn recently was that a hurt ego is so much harder to heal than a broken heart and this is pretty much why we must take care of ourselves first so we can help others. #freegift

[@TheRoommatesPodcast]

Glad it can help.

[@Kingcolb]

What stood out to me the most was how we really allow others to have such a negative impact on the way we view ourselves. I’ve been listening to you guys for a while now. And I can honestly say Stephan is the most informative, down to earth person that’s been on the show. And don’t worry about those people who don’t see the potential that your podcast have, the time will come when it’s right. I’ve also learned that I have to forgive others for the hurt that they have caused me in order to forgive myself. These are honest words and I wish both of you brother the best of Luck! #freegift

[@TheRoommatesPodcast]

Thanks so much .

[@cusny01]

Oh I want to give you a hug. You are enough don’t take anything personally. The funny thing is people watching you would want to be you. That saying people are praying for what you have. Stay blessed and recognize them. 🙏🏼❤️
