In this episode of Relate Higher, Award-Winning Conscious Relationship Coach, Leticia Ringe, delivers the first 'C' of a conscious romantic relationship: Commitment. 

Leticia explains the importance of mutual understanding and ongoing conversations about commitments between partners in order to create a thriving romantic partnership that gets better & better over time.  She discusses how commitment is often misunderstood and that true commitment must be clear, communicated, and collaboratively decided upon by both partners.

She highlights five crucial commitments that create a successful relationship and dispels common myths about commitment limiting freedom, why we're so afraid of commitment as humans and why you might be less committed than you really are! 

She also explains why commitment is a part of your healthy, masculine energy and provides a series of coaching questions you can ask yourself today to deepen your commitment, overcome any fear of commitment and step into a more fulfilling chapter of your love life and romantic relationship. 

Questions answered in this episode include: 
What does commitment really mean in a relationship?
How can I build trust and commitment with my partner?
Is it okay to have doubts about commitment?
What are signs that someone is afraid of commitment?
How do you balance personal freedom with commitment in a relationship?
What are the benefits of commitment in a relationship?

CLB 256: The Power of Commitment in Conscious Romantic Relationships [RH 30]

Do you crave connection but keep everyone at arm's length? You might be what Tracy calls an "accidental asshole."

You're not trying to be a jerk. You built that wall as a kid to survive. But now it's blocking the very thing you want most.

You date with one foot in, one foot out. You need drama to feel anything. When someone actually wants to love you? Boring. Or terrifying.

Stop waiting for someone who won't trigger you. That person doesn't exist. The work is dealing with the discomfort of letting someone in.

In this episode, Tracy explores:
* Why you need tension to feel attraction
* How the "perfect person" fantasy keeps you unavailable
* Why you get pissed when you actually get attached
* Why you contact exes months later
* How to feel without the protective facade

"Emotionally available people do not seek out unavailability." ~ Tracy Crossley


#816: The Truth About The Accidental A$$hole

We’re floating down the Hudson out in the blue/I’d stay here forever with you/even though it’s raining ‘cause you hold the umbrella/I feel like Cinderella with you/The Staten Island Ferry is my favorite view/I’d watch it forever with you/Manhattan looks so quiet and small/I escape from it all with you/and it’s perfect timing for this little diamond that sparkles like a promise or two/but why complicate when darling I would wait another hundred years for you?/you’ve had your heartaches and I’ve had mine too/I’d love to run away with you/they’ll be waiting for us back on dry land/but right now I’m holding hands with you/up close and personal my senses get it all/the chaos and the traffic that I couldn’t see from far away/that’s the thing with city blocks, “I do’s” and pretty rocks/you don’t know what you’re in for ‘til the boat docks.

Staten Island Ferry

Shame and trauma cannot be separated – they are incredibly interwoven. The reason I created this episode is shame is virtually unavoidable if you’ve been through a trauma and often times the shame is even harder to process and heal from. Why? Shame is an unseen self-authoring wound. It creates a whole slew of behaviors because we are tasked with carrying it – and as you are aware, shame is toxic. In order for us to contain it we need a wide buffer: a padding between it and consciousness. However, the way we create this is often very damaging and shame-inducing. So it’s a domino effect. And so most people avoid it for many years – why? It is too painful for us to look at. It’s also painful for others – if it tells you anything it’s often also avoided by therapists, because of how much discomfort it causes.

So this is really just an entry-level exploration of possible shame in your person. Inspired by my own recent enlightenments. They happen the tiniest bit at a time. I also have some reading for you on the topic:

A lot of us live in our head, disconnected from our feelings and intuition. This podcast touches on releasing insecure attachment, accepting your authentic self and getting “unstuck” by connecting to how you FEEL instead of how you THINK. I’ve been there, and discuss sensitive subjects using my own experiences with a lot of laughs and even more empathy… because we’re all flawed humans.

A bit about me:
I write songs and I bake. I'm an actor, singer and floral arranger. I draw and paint for fun and sometimes make pottery. I'm really good at frosting cupcakes, because I used to work at a fancy bakery in NYC, where I did it for a living.

I'm originally from the Washington, DC area, and have also lived in Lexington, VA, NYC, and Boston. I love traveling, because it's a big, beautiful world out there, full of interesting places to see and people to meet, and life is short and meant for such things.  I got a degree in Songwriting from Berklee College of Music, in Boston.

Thanks for visiting! xxo
