  • Should you change who you are in order to keep the lover you wanna be with? If your first reaction is "Hell to the No!" well...you're not alone. In this episode Shan interviews Emmy award-winning producer and host Jeannie Mai, who talks about how her marriage to Young Jeezy transformed her in ways that just didn’t surprise her, it also shocked the world! We also explore whether or not Shan regrets the changes she made for love with a revealing dialogue between her husband Jared and her sister Lauren.

    I so appreciate you, Jeannie Mai, for saying that you desire to learn your husband's culture and other cultures that you live around for your daughter and yourself. I too feel that way. I can honestly appreciate people in interracial relationships viewing this as important, because so many people do not! Love you both!

    This is what is missing in the kind of gross conversation about "submissiveness" that seems to come up over and over again in podcasts. Submissiveness is not a character trait. It is a natural ease and calm that comes with two people who are compatible and choose to be the best person they can be in service of their relationship. Both people soften and grow and change if they care enough about the other person.

    For me change is not that bad as long as the change is a positive and it doesn't go against your morals and ethics. I don't call it change I call it Evolve. Jeanie's definition is evolving to me. For me it's not a negative thing. For me it means I gave it careful thought which came from a mature place and made the best choice for me whether it's adding to my life, or not. I'm making my choices being fully present instead of straight off of emotion or ego. I loved his quote. I think it needs to be on a mug or a t-shirt.

    I adore Jeannie Mai and always have.
    She is genuinely a good person and I watched her "evolve" exactly like she said. I watched her glow up as a single woman and fall in love with a man who changed her world.
    She showed me how good of a dude Jeezy is.
    How grown man he is.
    She deserves it all.
    I'm super happy for her

She is pregnant, which will make her the 3rd "baby mama" and her baby will be number 8. No ring in sight. Not even trying to wife her but she's submissive. 🤦🏾‍♀️

    You mantioned that Jared has a wait to point out bad behaviour without making you feel like a bad person. I wish if you could expand on that in future episodes. Could you give us an example, a roleplay of a fictional situation. I think it's a valuable skill which a lot of people struggle with and would like to learn and integrate in their relationship. I think it would be really valuable for us to see how it's done, how to open that discussion while staying connected and not triggering out partner.

    Amazing video request: “How to Put Your Partner in Their Place Without Provoking Their Ego”
    For me in my relationships over the years, this has been truly difficult for me. I often resort to guilt tripping or yelling because I have a trigger from childhood of not feeling heard. Conflict resolution is such a must in relationship and to learn how to navigate would be a lifesaver! Thanks so much, Shan, for your insightful and thought provoking content as usual! This was a engaging conversation ❤

    @Carlyon100 Рік тому +47

    This conversation is about prioritizing self love and acceptance over societal expectations to procreate and assume specific gender/sex/status roles that can (potentially) block you on your own path to personal understanding, growth and fullfilment. So many people have been pressured to become a less than evolved version of themselves especially when where who what they are at the present moment serves others at the detriment of themselves. Therefore changing in a relationship, that is, being encouraged to improve/expand your self concept becomes the goal especially when you are partnered with someone who is just as invested in their own actualisation as well as your own, for the now and the future together or apart.

  • @GodLoesUgly

    What an eye opening, beautiful conversation 💛 Something I have felt insecure about in my own relationship is how much my partner has changed since we have been together, especially since having our daughter. I had always felt like I was asking too much and should just love him where he is at... and I did love him then but I’m in awe and in love with the version of him that he has become. Witnessing a change in him inspires me to be a different version of myself. We are closer because of the changes we have made. I can feel the love between us growing and evolving and becoming deeper than it ever was before.

I know that he is my soulmate because I am allowed to be vulnerable. Allowed to let my guard down allow to be myself so he brings the best out of me.

    I believe the best types of love change you for the better. Growing in love for God and in love for myself has changed me tremendously. Inevitably for partnerships we will change as well. The problem that comes in is when the tweaks are not improving how you show up for yourself and the world. If the changes you’re being encouraged to make are genuinely harmful to you (physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually) and not just to your ego I think it one may not last and two it shouldn’t be done. People will manipulate you if you allow them. But not everyone has evil intentions behind their requests.

    I knew the moment she started dating him that she would change her mind. Jeezy is masculine and the only way that relationship would work is if she eased into her feminine. He changed that for her ! Freddy could never . She is totally different now and you can’t tell me that her husband didn’t cause this 💞. I loveeee this for her

    💛❤️‍🩹💛For you; you are a courageous person and good host. The few times I've had to enjoy listening to you talk, about important topics and in context and its educational. It has the potential to heal to those who dare listen.🖤🖤Something that is rare, that is pure, honest, and wholistically good & wise. Keep up the great work.❤💔❤(Relationships are a difficult topic to cover already as it is, because in doing so one has to remember that circumstances and phenomenon that arise or fall with such thought is usual central to a belief).I know yearn to believe in you now. .Good day beautiful😊😊😊

    Changing your behaviors/habits is not the same as changing your personhood. If that doesn't make sense you don't know who you are. I personally believe people CANNOT change WHO they are but we all learn and adapt to the ups, downs and differences of life and environment.
