Speaker 1:

Hi, friends, and welcome to Believe Like a Boss. I'm your host Life Coach, nandu Kamil. Join me as I teach you how to smash your goals and expand the possibility of your life through mindset management, spiritual alignment and authentic action. I'll teach you how to create what I like to call a life of thrive, with ease and authenticity. It's time to play with what's possible. Are you ready? Let's go.

Speaker 2:

Hello, hello, hello. Welcome back to another episode of Believe Like a Boss. I am your host, life Coach, nandu Kamil, and I'm so excited, my friends, to have this episode this week. Tomorrow is my well. When this airs it will be the day before my wedding anniversary, my one year wedding anniversary and so I have this long list of things that I am so excited to share with you all.

Speaker 2:

But what I wanted to do is kind of segue from the topics and hop into dating and relationship and do a little bit of storytelling this time. So you're going to hear some of the things that I talked about in Date Like a Boss that episode I did, I want to say, like a month ago. So you're going to hear some references from Date Like a Boss. But what I wanted to do with this episode was tell you all about how Tyler and I met and then just sprinkle in sort of the nuggets that I think are really helpful, the things that I use in coaching with my clients when we're working on dating and relationships and communication relationships, some of the things that have really helped Tyler and I to have a really strong relationship. Now, when I say strong, I don't mean perfect and I don't want anybody to hear that. Strong meaning we communicate really well. Strong meaning that he's my buddy, that's my best friend. We can tell each other anything. We feel comfortable telling each other anything. Sometimes we are uncomfortable, I will admit that. There are definitely times where I want to bring something up and I feel uncomfortable as I'm bringing it up. But I know that it's going to be okay because we're on the same page. So we're going to talk a little bit about that, about my relationship. As always, my friends, take what sticks to you. If it doesn't resonate with you, please don't worry about it. So, my friends, I moved to Colorado. If you don't know, I live in Denver, colorado, and I came out to Colorado on a two week trip. I was not moving out here, I was coming to visit my grandparents.

Speaker 2:

So my degree is in education and I decided you know, I don't really actually know, probably I don't know 80% of the people that are graduating with a degree in education. So when you go to a college graduation, you're just sitting around a bunch of people. They're in alphabetical order. It's a little bit different for me from high school, because in high school you know the people that you go to class with your friends with them. High schools aren't as big as colleges. So when I go to college and I'm graduating, it's not like you're graduating with everybody you started college with. You're just graduating with everybody from that college.

Speaker 2:

And so for me it just wasn't intimate enough. I was like I don't know who's speaking on stage, I don't know who I'll be standing next to. I don't want to go through the graduation process. So I actually skipped the whole graduation process and, fun fact, so did Tyler. So I skipped my college graduation and my mom decided. She said hey, why don't you ask your grandparents to fly you out to Colorado instead of them buying two tickets to fly out to Florida? They'll just buy one for you. So I call up my grandfather and I ask him hey, what do you think about me coming out to Colorado instead of you coming out to Florida for my graduation? They loved it. They're from Colorado, they do not want to be in the heat, so it was a great idea for them. So I came out to Colorado to spend two weeks with my grandparents, and the night that I landed I got onto a dating app.

Speaker 2:

Now, before I go into this, I want to back up a little bit on the plane. I was writing my list on the plane. I was coming up with my list 10 things may have been 10 to 12. Actually don't know where that list is today. Actually it might be an old journal, so maybe I could dig in my journals and find it but it was a list that I was writing and this is actually something that I have my clients do. So let's start there.

Speaker 2:

When you're dating, I think it's so important to be clear about what you want. Now this is different. I think sometimes when people hear that they think that I'm selling them to write a list of like their most perfect human, and when they date people in the world, they cannot ever deviate from this list, that's not the case. What it really does is this list helps us to clarify what is important to us. So for me, for example, I had written on my list at the very end. And I don't care if he lives at home, I might actually like that he lives at home so I can get to know his family. So I'm graduating college, I'm moving in with my grandparents At the time. I don't think I'm moving in, I just think that I'm spending two weeks with them on vacation.

Speaker 2:

But I knew that if I met somebody at that time you know, I think now that I'm in my 30s, if I was dating in my 30s, that would not be on my list. I wouldn't necessarily want somebody that's currently living with their parents. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm not here to poo-poo on anybody that is in their 30s living with their parents, and if I were to write my list today, I probably wouldn't put that on the list because I'm living out on my own. So I would likely want somebody who is financially responsible and on their own. But at the time of writing this list I was not living on my own and I really wanted to get to know my person's family. So I wrote on my list and it would be really nice if they lived at home because they'd like to get to know their family.

Speaker 2:

The other things I wrote on that list were obsessed with me. That is one that I used to be really embarrassed about saying out loud. I never wanted to admit to anybody that I wrote on my list obsessed with me. But let me give you some context. It wasn't just that I wanted somebody that was going to be obsessed with me, but it was more so that after my last breakup in my previous relationship, I really thought that that was going to be the person I spent the rest of my life with. We've been dating for three and a half years. We were high school sweethearts, we were dating into college and I really truly thought that was going to be my person. Then he decided that I wasn't his person and that's okay. He moved on with his life. After that I said I don't want to go through that ever again.

Speaker 2:

The next person that I date, I want them to be obsessed with me, or the way that I'm going to know that they are my person, my forever person, is that they're obsessed with me. Now I say that lightly. I didn't actually mean obsessed obsessed with me but truly wanted to make me a priority, wanted to make their relationship with me a priority in their life, because I was going to do the same and I was looking for the same. I was looking for someone who I was going to make a priority in my life, not more than everything else, but just like our career is important to us, I wanted that my relationship is just as important as my career, if not more important, and I wanted somebody that was on the same page as me with that, that when they entered into a relationship, it was sacred, it was very important to them, it was something that they wanted to give attention to and they wanted to build. So that's what I meant when I said obsessed with me, but ultimately, someone that put me first, made me important, and so those were some of the things that were on my list.

Speaker 2:

I had a long. I think there were 10 to 12 things on there, and so I always tell my clients, when we're working together, what are your 10 things? And we work on those things together and we also fine tune. Because here's what I want to say about your list. Again, this is not about needs to be six. Two needs to have brown hair must speak with a Spanish accent. Now, if any of those things are really important to you, then go ahead and put them on the list.

Speaker 2:

But this list is more so about character. This is more so about the person that they are, and that is why, when I put possibly lives at home, it was because I wanted to see how my person interacted with their family. I wanted somebody that loved their family and cared deeply about their family. So I wanted to see them with their family. And so, when you're thinking about your list, what is important to you in a relationship, what is important to you in your communication, what is important to you in the way that they speak to you and the way that they look at you and the way that they carry themselves? That's what we're looking at when we're coming up with this list. So get really clear on your list.

Speaker 2:

So I wrote this list on the plane that I land in Colorado and on my first night here in Colorado, I got on a dating app called plenty of fish and I laugh because it's not a very well known one. It's actually one of the like weird ones that I feel like has a bad reputation. That is kind of funky and then you'd get funky people on there, but that's where I met my Tyler, so I got onto plenty of fish. We met on August 3rd that was 2015. And we text for two weeks before we met in person. While we were texting, while we were going back and forth, it was really still important for me to get to know this person and to be very clear my intentions. So this is again something that I really offer to you all.

Speaker 2:

If you're dating, if you are trying to call in your person, be clear. When you are in the beginning stages and you're starting to talk to someone, we're often very nervous about being clear about our intentions, about our wants and our needs, because we don't want to quote scare them away. But here's what I have to say about that Do the opposite, like, do the opposite of being afraid of scaring them away, scare them away, scare them away. And here's why I say that, because your person won't be scared. And so, when I'm talking about, be clear about your intentions.

Speaker 2:

I was very clear with Tyler I am dating to find the person that I'd like to spend the rest of my life with. I'm dating to find the person that I'd like to start a family with, because I would like to have kids. I was very clear about this from the initial conversations that Tyler and I were having. I think that a lot of people get nervous about having these conversations because they're afraid of scaring the person away. What if I tell them I'm dating for marriage? They're gonna think that I want to marry them tomorrow. If that's your person, they're not going to think that you want to marry them tomorrow. They're smarter than that. They know that you're putting it out there, that you're putting out your intention, because down the line, after you learn some things about each other, after you have some life experiences, through those things, you would like to determine if this is a person you'd like to spend the rest of your life with.

Speaker 2:

And in saying that and being clear about that, you give the person you're talking to the option to also check in. Is that what I want? Is that what I'm looking for? Right? Because if it's not, I want to know from the beginning. I don't want to find out six months into our relationship that you don't want kids. I don't want to find out six months into our relationship that you would never want to leave the state or move or that you have no desire to build your career Right, I need to know those things ahead of time. I want to know those things ahead of time and for me, when I was dating, I knew that my person would want to be clear on those things as well. I would want to set a foundation with me. So be clear when you're dating. Why are you dating? Is it to be casually dating? That's fine. Just be clear about your intentions and make sure, take what six, you leave the rest always, but make sure that you're on the same page.

Speaker 2:

It was Claire with Tyler. I'm dating to find the person I'm going to marry. The other thing that I was clear with with Tyler and this is totally up to the individual, but it really served me I was very clear with Tyler and I told him we will not be in an exclusive relationship until you ask me to be your girlfriend Now. For some of you it's way too old fashioned and that's totally okay, but for me it was me setting the precedent. Here are my expectations. I want to be in relationship. That's important to me. I'm excited about that and I need you to be clear that that's what you want as well by asking me to be your girlfriend and it was funny because Tyler had actually never asked a girl to be his girlfriend before.

Speaker 2:

In the past. He had always been asked out by other girls. No girl had ever asked him out before. So when I asked him to do that, he's like I've never done that before and I said well, you're either going to or you're not I was very clear that the person that I'm calling in is going to. Like I said make me a priority, is going to make that known, that they want to be with me. And so this was a way that he could show me that he did want to be with me by asking me to be his girlfriend. He ended up doing it. He did ask me to be his girlfriend. It was the first girl he ever asked out and the last girl he ever asked out. So be clear.

Speaker 2:

So Tyler and I texted for about two weeks and then we met in person. And when we met in person, that's really where I got to be very vocal about my needs. When we were texting, it was just hey, who are you? What do you like? Where are you from? What are you interested in? But when we met in person, that's where I got really clear about hey, this is what I'm looking for. This is where my, what, my needs are. This is who I am and these are my longterm goals. Do you agree? What are your thoughts on this? It was never. You need to agree with this. This is what I need. I'm looking for someone that I'm going to marry for the rest of my life. No, it's just like hey, person that I'm dating. Here's why I'm dating. Why are you dating. Here's what I'm looking for in five to 10 years. What are you looking for in five to 10 years?

Speaker 2:

And again, notice when the brain says, oh, I don't want to scare them off, scare them off. It's not with the intention to scare them off, but it's with the intention to be your most authentic self and, as a result, attract an authentic partner. So, on that note, I want to empower you to be your full self when you're dating. I know that there's a part of us and I love this part of us. So don't get rid of it that wants to like primp and show our best self. Show your best self. Dress up for the date. Do your hair right, get all fancied up, whatever speaks to you that allows you. I call it peacocking, right. We peacock. Often when we're dating, we put on our best colors. We've left those feathers right. Do that.

Speaker 2:

But also remember that this is if you're going for the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with. What are you acting like at that level? Right. And again, when you're first dating, of course, you may not feel comfortable. It doesn't feel useful to like to jump to where you've been together for five, 10 years. That's not what I'm saying. But remember that if this is the person that you're looking at being with, potentially maybe you're in the very first phases of dating, but if you're dating to marry and you're trying to see if this is a person that would be a good candidate for marriage, think about the version of you that is married and what kinds of conversations you'll be having, what kinds of relationship you want to have and what things you might need to do right now, in the beginning of the relationship, to create that long-term relationship you envision. So another funny example of this is a few weeks into us dating, we're now in a relationship or hanging out Tyler's house.

Speaker 2:

So let me back up even more. Remember the list. I was talking about Tyler. This is our funny joke. Tyler actually has obsessive compulsive disorder. So when I wrote obsessed with me, god said haha, here you go. Tyler literally has obsessive compulsive disorder. So my husband is literally obsessed with me, which is fun and difficult sometimes.

Speaker 2:

And the other thing that was the two things that I could remember from my list are the two things that come up very strongly now is that? The second was he was living at home. He was living in his house, so I was able to get to know his family. I was able to get to know his mom, his stepdad, his brother, his dad and his stepmom lived 10 minutes down the road from his mom, so I was able to meet his whole family, like I had asked and prayed for. So we're hanging out in his house.

Speaker 2:

This is again few weeks after we've started dating. We're official now and I just I don't remember what we were doing, but I was sitting on the floor and he was sitting on his bed and he just farted. He just farted out an hour, let one loose, and I remember I stopped whatever I was doing. I turned around and I looked at him and I said did you just fart? Did you just pass gas? And he said yeah, and he laughed. Yeah, and I laughed and that was it. But it's one of my favorite memories because just in the same way that I, for instance, ate a burger with onions all over it right, I had stinky breath and I had garlic we breath.

Speaker 2:

Sometimes we avoid doing those things because we want to look in a pure a certain way. We're peacocking around, we want to look in a pure a certain way, but again, when I thought ahead to this is my person. I don't want to eat all clean right now and then we get married and all of a sudden I want to eat a burger and I love onions, and you don't want to kiss me. No, I want my person to kiss me If I have garlic in my mouth. Onions in my mouth that's what I wanted. That was what was important to me. So I was eating burgers early on, with all the stuff on it, right.

Speaker 2:

And he was tooting early on because for him, he wanted something he could be comfortable in his body with, and I wanted that as well, right. So he starts farting. Great, you have opened up the floodgates. We will toot around each other. We are very, very close. We can both be in the bathroom, using the bathroom at the same time. Not all relationships are like that. Not all relationships need to be like that, but for Tyler and I, it was important that we could be that close.

Speaker 2:

So when you're dating, what are some of the things I test? It's a testing ground. Test your boundaries. Let's just like a kid does, right, when a substitute teacher comes into a classroom, kids test the boundary. What will the sub allow or the sub not allow. Do the same thing in dating. What is this person going to allow? What are this person's boundaries? Again, the point is not to test their boundaries. The point is to establish your own. Our boundary is that when it comes to bodily fluids, we don't have boundaries, and he did that by passing us in front of you very early on. Again, always take what's 60, leave the rest. I know that that varies for lots of different relationships, but the point being, if this is your person, don't walk on those eggshells when you're first dating. Jump in and have fun.

Speaker 2:

On that note, the next thing that I wrote down I wrote some notes down as I wanted to tell you all the story of how we met. So we're dating for a few weeks and things are going really well, and one of my family members made the comment to me don't put all your eggs in that basket. Often when we're dating, I think that culturally, it's more acceptable for us to be dating multiple people at once or to, when we're dating, to like test this person out, test this person out and don't get serious until a certain time. My thoughts on it are again I was dating for long term for the person I'm going to marry. So I'm the type where I'm going to put all of my eggs in one basket until you tell me otherwise. I don't want to put one egg in each of the baskets and see who does what, when I want to fully invest in this relationship, meaning I'm going to be here, I'm going to talk about marriage with you, I'm going to spend time with you, I'm going to focus on you, because that's what I wanted in return. I wanted somebody to focus on me. So I'm going to focus on our relationship, focus on building our relationship, not have their hands in 10 different pots, because they're trying to see what is best for them.

Speaker 2:

Again, I say that with love If that's you and that's your dating style and that's working for you, absolutely continue to do what's working for you. But what worked for me in finding my one person was focusing fully on one person, focusing fully on Tyler, and when we met in person, I deleted the app immediately after our first time meeting. I didn't know that things were going to work out, but I just had to for me, had to take the chance. I don't know if this is going to be my person, but I'm hoping that one of these people that I meet is and I want to do this one person at a time, because I want to get this one person my full energy and attention, just like I'm asking for in return. So I say that to anybody that maybe is feeling really drawn towards somebody and you're in the early stages of your relationship and you feel bad about that for some type of reason. I want to give you permission to not feel bad about that.

Speaker 2:

Tyler and I fell hard and fell fast, and I don't think that there's anything inherently wrong with that. I think that it's really truly about if you fall hard and fast, great, get to know each other, get to know them in a stressful situation, get to know them around their family, get to know them on a trip, take a trip together, go camping, do something out of your comfort zone, out of your day to day, to see them in different environments. I don't think that there's anything inherently wrong with falling hard and fast. I do just think it's important for you to understand your person fully before making the lifelong commitment. But when it comes to committing and dating, I say jump in, jump in, have fun, get to know this person, and if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out.

Speaker 2:

I totally understand the jadedness that comes with like being in a relationship. You think this person's going to be the one. You'd put all your eggs in that one basket before, and now it's scary to do it again, because what if I put all my eggs in this basket and then this person walks away? For me, I had to be willing to risk that because I didn't want a half-assed relationship for somebody else, so I didn't want to give it to anybody else, even if it was coming from a place of protection. If you don't feel like you're ready to jump into a relationship, my advice would be to not jump into one at all. Don't dip your toe in. Either you're ready to jump in with somebody or you're not.

Speaker 2:

Now I say that lightly because I think with everything, I don't think anything is black or white, but I do think it's important to check in that if you're not ready to truly commit to being in a relationship that is, giving that person your honest thoughts and your opinions and your dreams and your hopes and your vulnerability, and being willing to receive that in return, then maybe it's still time to take some more time for yourself, for play, for friendship. Maybe you develop some of your friendships, because we learn a lot about relationships within friendships. I digress. The last thing that I wanted to give to you all was that you keep those lines of communication open. So after Titan and I started dating, we moved in about six months later. We moved in together because I was living with my grandparents and he was living at home and I decided I needed to move out of my grandparents' house and he decided his girlfriend wasn't going to move out without him. So he came with me and we moved in together. And one of the things that I've taken from my grandparents' relationship and I think that many people have received the same information, so I'm not giving you anything new here but that communication is key.

Speaker 2:

Communication is so key. Talk to your person. Talk about your needs, talk about your frustrations. Talk about your wants. Talk about your desires. Talk about your expectations for the relationship. Talk about your expectations for marriage. Talk about your expectations for family. If you want to have and build a family, what that means for you, maybe family is you, your partner, and you have three dogs. Maybe it's you, your partner, and you have two kids. Maybe it's you, your partner, and you adopt. Maybe it's you and your partner and that's it. But be clear have these conversations with your person. They cannot read your mind. They may be very good at reading your energy, but they cannot read your mind. As much as we want to read each other's minds, we just can't Talk to each other. Tell each other what's on your minds, on your heart, what you're thinking.

Speaker 2:

I think that that is one of the keys to Tyler and my success. It's nothing novel. It's just that we talk and we talk about everything, and we've always talked about everything, from the beginning of our relationship, when we were dating, and I made it clear If you want to be with me, you have to ask me to be your girlfriend. What I'm looking for is a lifelong partner. What I'm looking for is somebody that I can not only marry but wants to have kids with me one day. I was very clear about what my wants and desires were, and he was very clear about what his wants and desires were as we have grown together. Our one year wedding anniversary is also our eight year together anniversary. Over those eight years, things have changed. When we first started dating, tyler did not want to go back to school at all. Now here we are. He's halfway through getting his executive MBA from Northwestern and I'm so proud of him. But then in that process we had to have lots of big conversations about this is expensive and now I'm going to be flying out every other week to go to Chicago and this is how it's going to impact our lives. We had to have a conversation about that From beginning to end. I know I don't just think I know that conversation.

Speaker 2:

Communication is so key to a strong relationship. But knowing what each other wants, knowing what each other needs, knowing what it bothers the other, respecting that and working together to not only accomplish my own dreams but accomplish Tyler's dreams too. When I accomplish my dreams, that fulfills Tyler's dreams because he wanted somebody that was passionate about work and passionate about what they do. So when I'm happily working in my dream, it's fulfilling part of his and, conversely, what I wanted was another half to the power couple that I envisioned. I just knew that I'm a hard working woman, I love career, I love money, I love building programs, I love being in leadership. I know that I'm a boss and I have boss energy and I want somebody that's going to match that and raise that. I want somebody that's going to see how hard I work and love it and celebrate it, and also work with me to accomplish my goals. Get clear, communicate. Have fun too. I should have just let in with that. Have fun. I think everybody's really good at that already in relationships, though.

Speaker 2:

I think the difficult part is the communication is being clear, is stepping out on a branch and being like, hey, this is what I want, and being willing to be uncomfortable with that vulnerability, with being clear with what you want and being willing to say it, knowing that that person might not agree with you. If that person doesn't agree with what you want, that's not your person. Say thank you for being so honest and thank you for helping me to get closer to what I really do want. Please stop tiptoeing around. What you want in relationship. Get clear, say it out loud. Write down your 10 on a sheet of paper, tell your person. I think that's the best part is being able to tell your person like this is what's on my list. Don't be afraid to share your list on a date. Now, you might not want to break it out on your first date, but as you're getting to know each other and you're feeling comfortable, why not share your list with the person. I'll leave with this.

Speaker 2:

I recently met a couple wonderful, beautiful, amazing couple who just I was so inspired by, and they were telling the story about their list. She lived in Australia, he lived in the United States and when they met they both went through their own lists and he was everything that she had on her list and he was everything that she had. Did I say that already? You know what I'm saying. They both had each other on their list and Tyler didn't actually have a list. But whenever I talk about what is it that you wanted you were looking for, he says it was me.

Speaker 2:

So, with that being said, you don't technically need to have a list, but I do find it helpful and it's a lot of fun if you get really clear on what you want, because the fact that I wrote obsessed with me and then he has obsessive compulsive disorder, just like, kills me. It's hilarious, it's so much fun and it also reminds us how much influence we actually have on our reality Influence in money, influence in relationship, influence in career. We have so much influence on the results of our life. Get clear on what you want, whether it's relationship or anything else. Decide that you can have it and then show up as if it's already done. You show up as if you already have the partner.

Speaker 2:

You're not showing up in frantic energy. You're not showing up. Oh my gosh, when am I going to meet the person? When am I going to find him? No, you're relaxed. You know. You know that this person is coming. There's no need to be frantic, there's no need to be anxious.

Speaker 2:

I don't care what your age is or what your thoughts are about your age that you're dating because that often comes up with clients. If you are in a state of certainty and knowing that your person is seeking you out too, that's a place of assuredness, that's a place of calm, that's a place of confidence. That's where I want you to show up from when you're dating, from a seat of calm confidence, knowing my person is coming, and when you go on that date, being your confident self. Here's what I want. This is what I'm looking for, this is what I'm asking for. This is what's important to me. This is what's fun to me. This is what I enjoy. What do you think? What do you think? Being open to their response, being clear about yours and just having faith that your person will very clearly present themselves when they arrive.
