Love their soul, but check their behavior. In this heartfelt episode, Emilia and Alan unpack the emotional tension that arises when one partner is more growth-oriented than the other. Through real client stories and personal reflections, they explore the difference between loving someone for who they are and trying to change them into who you want them to be. You’ll discover the power of belief vs. hope, why dragging someone up a mountain never works, and how to hold high standards without losing compassion. This episode offers truth, encouragement, and a fresh perspective on love and growth.
