As I reflect on the two year anniversary of my relationship with my partner, I am struck by how transformative relationships can be, especially when it comes to spiritual growth. Relationships, I believe, are some of our greatest teachers, offering us lessons in love, communication, and self awareness that we might never discover on our own.

In 2018, I went through one of the most painful experiences of my life. A long-term relationship ended shortly after a miscarriage, leaving me broken in every sense, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. At 39, knowing my time for becoming a mother was nearing its end, my heartbreak was compounded. The loss forced me to reassess my life, my relationships, and my deepest desires.

The years that followed were filled with dating and relationships that, in hindsight, weren’t healthy for me. I had a pattern of trying to be someone’s saviour, pouring myself into fixing others while neglecting my own needs. It wasn’t until 2021, when I finally committed to doing the work on myself, that things began to shift. I stopped dating seriously, allowed myself time to heal, and rediscovered who I was.

By the time I met my partner in 2023, I had spent two years falling back in love with myself. The inner work laid the foundation for a relationship unlike any I had experienced before, one based on mutual growth, respect, and a deep commitment to facing life’s challenges together.

Now, as we celebrate two years together, I’m reflecting on how this relationship has transformed me. Unlike in the past, when I would run at the first sign of trouble, I’ve learned to stay, to face challenges, and to communicate. My partner and I have made a commitment to work through difficulties together, and I’ve seen how that commitment has allowed us both to grow, not only as individuals but also as a couple.

Relationships are not always easy. They require effort, vulnerability, and a willingness to be honest with ourselves and each other. I’ve learned that healing and growth within a relationship are far more complex than healing on your own. When you’re single, you can focus entirely on yourself. But in a partnership, you must navigate the balance of caring for yourself, your partner, and the relationship itself.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is about presence. Currently, we’re living in different countries, which could easily strain our bond. Instead, it has deepened it. When my partner visits me in Mexico, we treasure our time together in a way that feels so intentional. Without the distractions of daily life, we’re able to focus solely on each other, building a connection rooted in love and mindfulness.

Of course, it hasn’t been without challenges. Relationships have a way of triggering old wounds and forcing us to confront parts of ourselves that we’d rather avoid. But I believe that’s the beauty of it. As a Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique practitioner, I’ve seen how relationships come back lifetime after lifetime, teaching us the lessons our souls need to evolve. We create contracts with the people in our lives, and through those contracts, we grow.

As I celebrate this milestone, I feel immense gratitude for the journey we’ve shared. My partner inspires me to be a better version of myself, and together we’ve created a relationship built on love, mutual respect, and spiritual expansion.

This journey isn’t over, in fact, we’re preparing for an incredible next chapter that I’ll share more about soon. But for now, I want to honour how far we’ve come and the love we’ve built.

Relationships are mirrors, reflecting our truest selves back to us. They are classrooms for the soul, they challenge us, expand us, and invite us to grow in ways we never imagined. As I honour this journey, I am grateful for the lessons, the love, and the profound evolution that this partnership continues to bring into my life.
