Are you putting in the effort to improve yourself, grow, change for the better, and move further in life but your partner is remaining stagnant while criticizing your progress? On this episode of Relationship Theory, Lisa and Tom Bilyeu sit down to discuss such matters and more as they explore how to handle times when your partner isn’t supporting your journey of adopting a growth-mindset and self-development. They discuss how to approach your partner when they’re simply not interested in growing, why a build up of relationship dust may be at play, why feelings need to be honored, how to handle criticism and heckling from your partner, and why there’s power in having empathy for your partner as you grow right in front of them.   SHOW NOTES:   Disconnect | Lisa and Tom discuss when your partner isn’t interested in self-development.
