Navigating Complicated Relationships - Mikki Gaffen Stone  Are your relationships at home or at work a struggle, with people regularly crossing the line in their interactions with you? Do they ignore it when you say 'no'? Does talking to others about what you want and don't want feel a lot like whistling in the wind for all the notice they seem to take? If you are feeling an indignant "YES", the chances are good that you don't actually have any clear expectations for behavior established with these same people. The chances are also good that you are a part of Generation X, or are dealing with someone who is. Boundaries are hugely important for daily dealings and lead to building better, healthier and more sustainble relationships. Mikki Gaffen Stone will use her Human Behavior Expertise to explore how Human Design and Behavior change science can be combined to help you better understand yourself and the dynamics of your relationships - whether they are colleagues, clients, parent-child, partners or, last but never least, the relationship you have with yourself!

Navigating Complicated Relationships - Mikki Gaffen Stone  Do you sometimes feel lost or neglected in your relationships? Do you find yourself wondering where you (or they) went wrong? Sometimes, there is nothing to do but walk away with as much dignity and self respect as you can. Other times, reconnecting in your relationships is both possible and very well worth the effort. But what does it take to reconnect successfully? How do you know when to stay and when to walk away? We have previously talked about the importance of understanding your own energy flow and behavior patterns. You may also recall that your sense of identity and conscious self-perception can change everything. When you add an understanding of how the other person operates energetically, and where the disconnect between you occurs, the barriers and obstacles become seen and can be addressed. It is often possible to work together, building your future as you both want it to be.

Navigating Complicated Relationships - Mikki Gaffen Stone  Do you find yourself making great progress towards your goals only to reach a certain level of success and boom! There you are, derailed and wondering why again. Self-sabotage shows up at the worst possible times and leaves us feeling like we failed ourselves and others. The spiral into self-criticism is almost inevitable from there. People say they 'fell off the wagon' or 'relapsed', but what does that really mean and is it true? Mikki disagrees. She's going to show you how plans and systems fail, people don't. Here's the early news: Your relationship with yourself has a LOT to do with this pattern. More specifically, any pattern of self-sabotage is there because it is a part of your identity. Wild, right? No expert plan or fool - proof system can overcome your belief in who you are. Now here's the GREAT news: It takes work, but you CAN change your story about who and how you are. You CAN change your identity to one that works for you! Mikki Gaffen Stone will use her Human Behavior Expertise to explore how Human Design and Behavior change science can be combined to help you better understand yourself and how to work with your design to shape & build the aligned identity that really works for you, consistently getting the results you want. Not because of a system or a plan, but because of who you ARE.

Navigating Complicated Relationships - Mikki Gaffen Stone  Human Design is your blueprint for success in life. You WERE born with a manual, and this is it! Living the way you are designed means no longer following what other people tell you is right, but by doing what you instinctively KNOW is right for you. The joyful path ahead begins with discovering your personal Design and how to fully use each gift and talent as they are revealed. If your relationships at home or at work are a struggle, the chances are good that you are living under the pressure of other people's expectations for you.

Navigating Complicated Relationships - Mikki Gaffen Stone Are relationship struggles draining the joy out of your life? Do you wish you were seen, heard and understood more? Do you find yourself wondering why it can be so difficult to be around certain people? Social expectations and family environments go a long way to shaping how much - or how little - we value ourselves, and that self-perception can set us up for relationships that become complicated at best and unhealthy at worst. As the first relationship we ever develop is the one we have with ourselves, Mikki begins deep diving into Human Design to find the real you under all that conditioning. After all, understanding how and why you relate to yourself the way you do is the first step towards understanding your interactions with others. Partners, colleagues, friends, children - they all respond to how you see yourself. You really can't rise above your opinion of yourself, and you can't expect others to value you more highly than you do! In this episode, Christine McIver, CEO of Inspired Choices Network will be talking with Human Behavior Expert Mikki Gaffen Stone and host of "Navigating Complicated Relationships" as she opens a new chapter in the unwritten book of "YOU" and shares how you can discover a whole new level of joy in your relationships. Starting at the beginning, with understanding who the real "YOU" is. It is never too late to begin anew.   ~ More About Navigating Complicated Relationships with Mikki Gaffen Stone ~  Mikki Gaffen Stone is a Behavior Expert, Speaker, Educator, Human Design Intuitive and Transformational Coach.
