In this episode, David sits down with Anne Hellgren, a coach and relationship expert, and the host of The Love You Want podcast. Anne has a passion for empowering people in their relationships and helping them to make decisions that are based on empowering beliefs and clarity. She is also writing a book to help people to break dysfunctional dating patterns. Helping them to understand that it is a bad habit, one which, with the right approach, can be broken.
Anne and David also discuss self-worth, surrounding yourself with the right people, taking full responsibility for your health, and not living your life in a way that only pleases others.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We all develop bad habits in life, including walking into bad relationships and staying in them. Fortunately, habits are something you can break.
• Children who see ongoing abuse in the family tend to be more likely to tolerate or perpetuate it in their adult lives because it feels normal to them.
• Build a strong relationship with your kids, have deep conversations with them, and stay approachable, so they feel confident about opening up to you as they grow up.
• A lot of bad decisions are made because of us not loving ourselves enough, and not recognizing our self-worth.
• Periodically, pause and review your life - the direction you are going in and ask if your relationships, friends, jobs, etc are still serving you.
• It is possible to worry too much about what others think of you.
• Take the time to assess and question your religious or cultural beliefs. Many of us put ourselves through a lot of unnecessary pain following what are just traditions created by previous generations.

BEST MOMENTS

‘(I help people to) realise that they're the common denominator of this dysfunctional relationship. So, it's up to them to do something. It's not about blaming the world.’

‘No one sits on their deathbed going oh, I regret that mistake. People regret what they didn't actually do.’

‘When I look back now, there's so many things I feel, how the hell did I put up with that?’

‘Be aware of how your society, your culture, your religion has programmed you to your detriment.’

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan, and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
