Bedtalks Relationship Podcast Ep. 6 – What is the Foundation of Your Relationship?

Posted on May 2, 2019May 4, 2019 by Elizabeth Overstreet

I have an important question for you: What is the Foundation of Your Relationship? As you know, without the proper foundation, it's hard to build anything solid. A poorly constructed house will fall apart. Not teaching your kids the fundamentals and failing to give them the proper foundation can limit their potential once they reach adulthood. Putting together any piece of furniture without the needed screws will lead to a poorly constructed piece of furniture that will fall apart more quickly than one that is well constructed. Listen in as K and I discuss on Bedtalks how two people c...

And also ignoring what I needed to do to improve who I was as a person. It was my protective shield and self-d...

Posted on February 16, 2018February 13, 2018 by Elizabeth Overstreet

If you asked my friends one of my worst qualities, they would probably say it is the fact that I can be annoyingly analytical. I tend to overthink things. Sometimes that has worked well for me, but often it has the opposite effect especially when it related to my relationships. Then something strange happened. I stopped overthinking, assuming what the other person in the relationship was thinking, or figuring out in my mind what their actions might mean. I had to do a complete juxtaposition. I almost gave up on love because I started to think that maybe it just wasn’t meant to be. Yes, it’...
