In this episode of ‘Be Unmessablewith the Podcast’, Josselyne Herman-Saccio dives into the distinction between being in a real relationship and a fake relationship. She challenges listeners to consider whether they are connected with someone as they truly are—or if they’re entangled with who they think someone could or should be someday. This episode sheds light on the freedom and satisfaction that come from seeing people, including ourselves, without any “someday” filters.

Key Points:

Real vs. Fake Relationships: Josselyne explores how relationships based on the hope that someone will change aren’t truly real. Real relationships exist when we are with others exactly as they are and as they aren’t—no filters, no expectations.
Impact of Expectations: Expectations act as filters that obscure reality, making real connections and communication nearly impossible.
Including Yourself: This doesn’t only apply to others; many people live in a “fake” relationship with themselves, holding out for who they “should” be. Real fulfillment begins by accepting ourselves exactly as we are.

Try This: Remove the “someday” filter from a relationship in your life. Appreciate people (and yourself) as they are right now. Notice how this changes your experience of connection and satisfaction.
