Thriving Relationships Show Christine Eartheart

Liesel Rigsby and I met 10+ years ago at a workshop in Joshua Tree, California, and I was instantly drawn to her wisdom, soulfulness, depth, intuitive spirit, and luminous presence.
She is also founder of the internationally renowned Soulmate School, which instantly lit up my heart when we met. 😍 And she is known and beloved for her unique ability to energetically ‘see’ what women need to shift in order to build a life of deeply fulfilling and lasting love. 

Join us for this episode as Liesel shares her beautiful wisdom and answers these questions...

❤️ What's the main purpose of relationships?
❤️ What are some common relationship myths that cause us harm?
❤️ How do we best approach the inevitable triggers in relationships so they are a source of healing, rather than conflict?
❤️ What's a powerful question we can ask our partner when we see them triggered?
❤️ What is a "soulmate?"
❤️ How does not feeling good enough impact us in relationships?
❤️ Why is wholeness so important in our relationships?
❤️ How is our relationship with ourselves mirrored in our relationship with others?
❤️ How do we become energetically magnetic to our potential or current partner?
❤️ & lots more!
 
For the past 15 years, Liesel has helped women from all walks of life (CEO's, therapists, homemakers, lawyers, life coaches, healers, divorced moms, elders and more) from all over the world fall in love with themselves, clear their energetic blocks to divine partnership, and create lasting love.
