Episode • Aug 18, 2022 • 27m

What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

How do you even know if you’re settling? What does it look / feel like?
Why do men settle, and how is it different from the reasons women settle?
How settling sets us up for a feedback loop of losing self confidence and self-esteem.
Why staying in a relationship hoping the other person will change is a dead end street!
Benjamin and Lisa talk about a client who settled for more than 30 years and was finally able to see the light and leave.
What does it mean to “marry beneath you” financially, physically, etc.
Lisa opens up about using her financial stability to attract men and then resenting them for not making a living, and how she turned it around to learn how to raise her own self-esteem and ultimately, her own self-worth.
