Grow As We Go
084- What Are Soul Mates?
Host Samantha and co host Anthony discuss the popular, and sometimes controversial, idea of soulmates. Anthony starts by sharing his perspective, painting a picture reminiscent of fairy tales and puzzle pieces fitting perfectly together. But Samantha offers a different view, questioning if the whole Disney romance narrative sets us up for unrealistic expectations. They explore whether we might have more than one soulmate throughout our lives.
Things get even more interesting as they touch upon the concept of twin flames, and Samantha explains why she finds that idea a bit suspicious, maybe even a way to justify difficult relationship dynamics. This opens up a deeper conversation about something else entirely: soul contracts. Could it be that we arrange certain relationships before we even get here, agreeing to learn specific lessons, even through hardship? Samantha shares how this perspective helps her understand some challenging connections in her own life.
Anthony reflects on how this idea of soul contracts feels true for his connection with Samantha, describing a deep bond that goes beyond simple romance. They consider how this might apply to family too, like the idea that children choose their parents. The hosts also carefully approach a sensitive area, discussing how the soul contract idea might feel for someone who has experienced severe trauma or abuse in a relationship. It is a really thoughtful look at love, destiny, and how even the toughest connections might play a part in our soul's journey.
