Reclaiming Love and Your Soul’s Curriculum with Dene Logan

In this episode, Heather welcomes marriage and family therapist, group facilitator, and author Dene Logan to explore relationships through the lens of depth psychology—often called the "psychology of the soul." Drawing from her book Sovereign Love, Dene shares how our partnerships are not random, but rather specific "soul assignments" designed to mirror our unfinished business from childhood and point us toward our destiny. Heather and Dene dive deep into the everyday dynamics of love, discussing why couples so often get caught in the trap of competing for energy or falling into anxious-avoidant polarities. They discuss the profound impact of childhood triggers, the primal defenses that drive relationship conflicts, and how we can bring our "inner adult" into conversations to move from making demands to making requests. They also break down the cultural pressure we place on single partners to be our "everything" and offer a liberating perspective on how relationships can change form with reverence and love. Whether you are looking to heal codependent tendencies, understand your relationship patterns, or reframe the inevitable suffering and trauma of life as a sacred curriculum at "Earth University," this episode offers powerful tools for spiritual awareness, compassion, and ultimate personal liberation.  SPONSOR: COZY EARTH:  For the dads, stepdads, grandpas, and every father figure who shows up — this one’s for them.
