How I Found My Soulmate

By . Posted on .

How I Found My Soulmate
Do you hide your intuitive gifts so people don't judge you? You might be hiding out from love.

For being well known as a woman with considerable psychic gifts, I sure turned a blind eye when it came to picking men.

My first relationships were filled with drama and trauma, believe me I kissed way too many frogs, had way too many blind dates and the singles parties….
Don’t you love to hate singles parties?

I had no trouble attracting men. My dark and exotic looks always got me noticed. But no matter how hot the guy, once he found out I was “psychic” or “clairvoyant” he was out the door.

That is of course unless he was like that meditating, star gazing wine steward I fell for. He was so new agey, I overlooked the fact that he was using me for intuitive tips in his business life. 

By time I was in my 40s, I usually avoided all blind dates and single mingles, but one well-meaning friend caught me in a weak moment and I agreed to go to so-and-so’s swanky party. 

My friend said she told the other people I went to a private school growing up and had lived abroad for a bit. Maybe trying to explain my eccentric look?
It didn’t take long for a curious partygoer to get word that I was a recovered alcoholic who conversed with a giant angel and sometimes talked to dead people.

Busted again, all I could do after that was munch on the chips and pretend to be fascinated with a few pictures on the wall, until I could finally go home.

While talking with callers on my HayHouseRadio.com show, I often tell them to watch for the patterns in their lives. That night, I saw a pattern that was never again repeated. 

Before I met my husband Marc, the men I was attracting mirrored my inner conflict with being psychic and worthy of a stable committed man. There were tons of red flags every time I got into a relationship with the wrong men. Indeed, my desire clouded my intuition.

All of these frogs were also pushing me to do some work on myself. There was nothing wrong with the frogs, I had the issue. I needed to deal with my inner conflicts before Marc could find me.

I go into detail of how you can clear your intuitive filters and get out of the haze of confused desire in the Heart Dynamix™ module of Master Intuitive Coach® Institute training.

Incorporating Heart Dynamix™ will help you have the best possible understanding, communication and interaction with all the important people in your life, your future soul mate included.

When I finally paid attention and did this work myself, the payoff was beyond my greatest dreams.

By the time I met Marc, I’d finally gotten comfortable with all of who I am. And, he was well worth the wait. Not only did he not run for the hills at the mention of the word psychic, he’s all right with doing dishes!

So, here are some of the lessons I’ve learned about love:

1. Wanting an amazing healthy relationship is only part of the story. You need to love and accept all of who you are, first.

2. When you keep having the same experience in love…man after man after man, it doesn’t take a psychic to know that something is off! You have to take a look at YOU, not point fingers at the men you attract.
