Mind, Body, Gem – Season 6, Episode 2
Dancing With Each Other Demons: Cohost: Rokki and Asegedech are joined by creative procedure Renee Dion sharing insight about the beginning of Rokki and Asegedech’s relationship. In this episode, we get in-depth about relationships.
- What does it mean to Dance with Each other Demons: As Rokki and Asegedech share in relationships, often pain shows up, and past hurt shows up, and how you deal with that is the dance of demons. Rokki shares the importance of an emotionally safe space to share and show that hurt without the risk of the person using the information to use your words against you. To have the emotional intelligence not to match your loved ones’ energy when you see them operating out of pain.
- We can’t afford not to record: Renee joins the conversation: Renee asks Rokki and Asegedech to share a mindset when starting their relationships. Rokki shares how they have been in each other lives without physically meeting for many years and how the timing was everything for them to be in a relationship. Rokki recalls how, as early as Asegedech was in middle school and her being in college, they might have had the opportunity to meet. Asegedech would go to college across the street and work next door to her business, but they wouldn’t meet in any of those settings. Asegedech would take classes at Rokki gym without ever running into Rokki. Asegedech shares how one year before meeting Rokki, she would attend a fitness event to connect with Rokki’s girlfriend and sister but never met Rokki.
- Newly single Rokki: Rokki shares how she was physically single but wasn’t emotionally available when she first met Asegedech. During a Fitness and wellness event, Asegedech decides to try the Rokki group fitness class after a day of taking other people’s fitness classes. Rokki would kick Asegedech out of the fitness class, leaving Asegedech upset and needing to approach Rokki about her actions and attitude. Asegedech would go on to give Rokki feedback and ask to connect with her about her fitness profession. The initial conversation would end with a meaningful connection. Later Rokki would invite Asegedech to a fitness event she was putting together.
- Put a bug in your ear: While I was healing, Rokki would get a DM from Asegedech about connecting with her. Rokk, at the time, had a few people messaging her to spend time with her, but she instead decided to entertain Asegedech’s message. Asegedech would use the time to learn more about Rokki’s success in the wellness industry. It wasn’t till walking to the car and sharing a hug that they felt romantic feelings for each other. Rokki and Asegedech didn’t have much in common other than both not being ready for a relationship. Rokki shares how Asegedech tells her she’s there to heal her heart.
