byRelationships 2.0 With Dr. Michelle Skeen0 ratings0% found this document usefulMy Breakup was a Break Free ft/ Sorelle Amore: How would you feel if your lover said to you, “thank you for the opportunities to improve and grow in this relationship, but sadly, I think in order to continue to evolve, I have to break up with you…” You’ve probably heard this statement before, “some people are in our life for just a reason and a season.” If the reason and season length are mutual -- INCREDIBLE! But, what happens when it’s not? Let’s examine all sides of what happens when "can I spend my life with you" turns into "thank you, next!" This episode is all about the harsh and beautiful realities of “relationship cocooning” (a phrase I think I may have invented). It stars Sorelle Amore who shocked the internet when she broke off her engagement, Makeba Lindsay whose marriage ended when they had different ideas of growth, and Eman who wants to put an end to men who “cocoon” through her.

- Siggy VerelstRating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I don’t feel she gives a coherent answer to the question why we resist good feelings. Found it quite basic, surface and not well structured and don’t feel like she really knows what she’s talking about.
- Carl McGeeRating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Stuck in owiei, Trapped by maudlin, Miss your bliss. This is a must read!
- MichaelRating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The book is about why and how to embrace pleasure using simple techniques. The advice is ok although I found the book was a bit wishy-washy and flat.
