How to inspire your partner to change // Jacqueline Elliott #shorts

When couples are together for a long time, sometimes we. We experience where one person grows and the other one doesn't as fast and then they flip flop. That's what happened with me and Andy. But I think focusing on what you can change and your personal growth is going to inspire the other person to change. And I think a lot of people wait to grow together at the same time. They see me and Andy and they're like, hey, you guys are growing. You have the same dreams. Like, this is awesome. I want my spouse to be just like you guys. You got to understand that I didn't do it for Andy. I didn't do it for my kids. I did it for me. And I became who I needed to be because I knew there was another level in me, and I had to grow in order for me to be the good mom that I needed to be, for my kids to be that hero they look up to. They know Andy needed to have me love myself so that he can be attracted to me in a certain way because he wanted a confident woman. All these different things and how you pour in yourself. As a mom, I felt like I was doing a disservice to my family by not putting themselves.
