This deserves a standing ovation

Why do intelligent women, or so many of them, remain single or prefer to be single? It's a great question. And when we're dealing with any person that's intelligent, they know themselves, they a better boundary. In other words, they are going to own their nose when someone unhealthy or toxic enters their life. They're not going to lean into them and say, yes, how can I please you? How can I help you? How can I support you? How can I maximize your needs and minimize mine? They have done a level of self work on themselves. They are self sufficient. They are less reliant on men. They aren't going to tolerate bullshit. They aren't going to tolerate gains of that. They're not choosing the same kind of partnership over and over again and wondering why is this happening? They've made the unconscious patterns and trauma in their lives conscious. They've actually equilibrated and worked with their trauma. And that really is, I mean, intelligence is a very layered conversation and a very laid concept. But when we're talking about relational intelligence and emotional intelligence in relationship, it is vested and grounded in self love. It is vested and grounded in moving beyond the patterns of the past that have been survival patterns.
