Memorable Quotes/Advice From Lori
“We tolerate relationships that aren’t good because we were drawn to what’s familiar regardless of merit, and we want to have a corrective experience. I call it waiting for Christmas—we’re going to stay in it until it changes, and it’s not going to change until we have enough of motivation and a commitment to ourselves to lean into it to stay the distance until we can create change within the context of the relationship. But instead, people will just walk around the perimeter of their own equators in relationships and be afraid to jump in.”
