Because I think that actually brings more animosity and anger within you about how they're reacting which I don't think helps the situation.” Lisa Bilyeu [13:54] “if we don't work towards having a great relationship, then we may as well walk away because neither of us are willing to suffer in a relationship when you're not on the same page.” Lisa Bilyeu [18:22] “people treat you exactly the way you let them treat you.
