Episode Transcription

 Welcome back to another episode of the World Life Podcast with Meredith and Craig. This week we're talking about the value of taking 100% responsibility in your relationship. Mm-hmm. When we talk about it with the marriage lens, we talk about a 200% marriage. Mm-hmm. But this a hundred percent relationship, this principle applies to every relationship in your life.

The 200% relationship. You know, it sounds easy, like, oh, obviously I'll take, responsibility, but it's way easier said than done. Yeah. And it's probably one of the hardest things to wrap your brain around as far as we're gonna get into some examples mm-hmm. Of, you know. Very specific of Yeah.

But he never shares his feelings or she never shares her feelings. Mm-hmm. We're gonna explain, well, what's your role in that Exactly. Because that's, the nugget when you can get to the place where you take 100% responsibility for everything, like that's literally everything in the relationship. The relationship dynamic changes completely.

, it's transformative. It changes completely. , it's not a simple concept. , no, I take that back. It is a simple concept. It's not simple execution. It's gonna take a whole shift of your mindset, but it is a transformative philosophy in every relationship in your life. A hundred percent.

See, see what I did there? You didn't, you didn't Right away. No, I didn't right away when I got there eventually. Nice. A hundred percent. It's funny 'cause it, it makes me think of like, have you ever been in a relationship or in a situation, in a relationship where you were in a fight or you're in a disagreement and you know that you're a hundred percent right.

And you're just waiting for the other person to acknowledge and finally realize that you are a hundred percent right. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We've all been there yesterday. We've literally all been there. Yeah, a hundred percent. , it doesn't exist. It only exists in your own mind. So we're They're not, coming to be like, you know what, you're a hundred percent right on this.

Chances are that's not happening Totally because it doesn't exist. So we're gonna explain what it means to take a hundred percent responsibility. Why it's so powerful, how it shows up in your relationship and some simple strategies to help try and embrace this mindset so that we can all get the transformative impact of the 200% relationship.

I think to start, we need to just get on the same page with what this is exactly. Yes. And like taking 100% responsibility means owning your words, your actions, your emotions. Mm-hmm. Your choices. Mm-hmm. In the relationship. Without blaming or without expecting your partner to feel or act a certain way in any way.

Yeah, and also what it's not is taking the blame for everything in your relationship and completely ignoring any of. What your partner says and does. Yeah. It's all on you, but it's not all on you. Yeah. It's about, taking ownership of your part in whatever's going on in the dynamic and committing to show up as your best self every day.

Mm-hmm. Going the final present every day. . Exactly right. Instead of asking, what are they doing wrong, it's what could I be doing differently? The question always comes back to me. How am I showing up? Am I bringing my best self into this? What could I be doing differently? How could I change this dynamic?

Am I creating the space where the behavior that I'm looking for, that I'm not getting? Am I creating the environment where that can thrive? Exactly . The questions that you ask yourself always come back to how you are showing up and what you can do. Differently to create a different situation.

Yeah. And, again, , I think it's important to reiterate, it's not about taking the blame.

For absolutely everything in the relationship, because a lot of times there's enough to be, there's enough to go around, there's enough to go around, and we don't wanna live and blame anyway. Mm-hmm. But if we're gonna just for ease of word. Mm-hmm. Use the word blame, it's not about taking all that on your own shoulders.

Mm-hmm. But it's about asking yourself the question, am I creating the space for this? Mm-hmm. , have I owned my, own stuff? Mm-hmm. In this, my own emotions, actions, feelings. Yeah. Am I showing up the way I want my partner or the other person to show up? Yeah. Am I, being the version of the person that I want to be in this relationship with?

Like, , it's really about digging deep on you and how you show up in the relationship. Yeah. And when you do that, you focus on your own growth, your own communication, your own behavior. You create the space for your partner to do the same. Like you're almost role modeling the behavior, you're being the partner you wanna have, you're being the person you wanna be in that relationship with.

Creating the space and role modeling that for them. Mm-hmm. 'cause when you don't do that stuff, when you don't take that ownership and you start to blame mm-hmm. Resent. Mm-hmm. Like those things come up when you don't. Because when you don't own your own stuff and just be like, yeah, you know what? I'm not showing up the way I should be in this relationship.

Yeah. When you know, your spouse points out that maybe you are not you, prickle. Mm-hmm. Like your, back gets up, you get defensive. when we feel attacked, we start to attack back when we get defensive. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So it's like, shifting the question of you never, or the conversation from you never listened to me to.

I'm not feeling heard when we talk about this, is there another way we can approach this situation? How can I show up differently so that we can, communicate more effectively. Exactly. And then your partner feels respected, seen, validated, they don't feel attacked, blamed, and they don't get defensive.

So the conversations end up being more productive because when we don't do that. we escalate. Yeah. We pile on top. We wanna attack back, and then they want to attack back, and then we wanna attack back defensiveness. That all takes over and that conflicts just escalate.

Yeah. And then eventually they never get resolved and we fight about them again later. Correct. And again, and again and again. Right. And again. Yeah.

So there is a power in choosing. Happiness over being, right? Mm-hmm. Choosing your relationship over being right. Choosing your partner over your ego. Mm-hmm. And every day, we are all faced with that choice multiple times every single day. Yeah. Yeah. Things come up and you have the opportunity to, am I gonna own my stuff in this or am I just gonna point the finger and.

Tell them how they need to be better, how they can love me better, or show up for me better. Mm-hmm. Or are we gonna look in the mirror and be like, how can I show up for them better? Mm-hmm. And I, and then when you do that. A byproduct is that they just start to change, do it for you, the behavior as well.

Yeah, and I think that choice sometimes doesn't always feel conscious. Like , we've gotten ourselves into patterns of behavior, patterns of speech, and when they say this, I do this, and we, end up escalating and we end up finding ourselves in these cycles and it, becomes a matter of bringing awareness to the situation.

Like, normally you say you never listened to me, and then I respond with the same thing and we end up having the same fight. So it's a, matter of bringing awareness to it. And eventually what will start to happen is you will see it after the fact. Like, oh yeah, you know what, I didn't, own that.

When he told me , I never listened to him. I got defensive. I didn't show up as my best self. I didn't say, you know what, let's talk about that. How can I show up better? I didn't own it. Then you get to the point where maybe you're in the middle of the escalation and you realize, oh wow, I'm not bringing my best self.

I'm not taking my a hundred percent responsibility. I'm not showing up the way I want them to show up with me, and you're in the middle of it. So then you can shorten the the escapade. Eventually you get to the point that's fully conscious and when someone says something to you. You can choose how to respond in the moment that gets you the outcome you want, which usually is a better relationship.

Mm-hmm. A more connected, closer relationship with the other person, and you get to choose that by how you respond in every situation. And so bringing awareness to it so that you can respond that way in the moment as opposed to realizing how you could have responded after the fact. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I love that.

Yeah. So why is it hard to take 100% responsibility? Because , none of us wanna be wrong. Yeah. I don't wanna be wrong. I never wanna be wrong. , our ego gets in the way a hundred percent. Our ego gets in the way. , it's really hard , to your point, when you open this, it's like, have you ever had that relationship where you knew you were 100% right and they were 100% wrong and you were just waiting for them to so many times and you're just waiting for them to like come to the realization that you were, come their senses.

You were right. The entire time. Exactly. And they just, it never happened. They just never did. No, I'm sorry, I didn't cooperate. Yeah, I know. It's not just you. I know it's the whole world. Yeah. It's, yeah, it's all of us. But , it's, we don't wanna be, we're so sure that we're right the story that we've told ourselves because, well, I mean, that's what it's all life is, is the stories we tell ourselves.

, that's what it is. And, but we make them mean. We're telling ourselves a story that no, no, no. This is the way it is and I am 100% right. And it's really hard to get your ego to get in the backseat. Mm-hmm. And for you to think about it. But am I really a hundred percent right? Like if I really think about it, is there another version of this story that could be plausible?

Mm-hmm. Where they're at least partially, right? Yeah. Where I could do something different. There's something that , I've done here to create this situation. Mm-hmm. Even though I just do not see it in this moment. Chances are Yes. And, a lot of times we're letting the ego drive.

Yeah. And we need to get that MF in the, backseat or at least in the passenger seat. Yeah, for sure. Because sometimes the ego is driving us, you know, where they wanna take us and they're trying to protect us. And the ego's got all these things. But it's not actually consciously where we wanna go. I wanna have a great relationship with you, and when I push back and let my ego drive and always wanna be right and never wanna take responsibility, that's not gonna get me where I wanna go.

Yeah. It's like you decided that you're gonna transform your health, but every day, you drive past the same drive through and you always go in and the day you decide you're gonna make that change. You gotta make the change, you gotta do it differently. Mm-hmm. So you gotta show up and do things different.

And I think for a lot of us, it's just so much easier to blame someone else than to take on that responsibility and to admit our own faults, our own mistakes, our own part in that whole situation. See ourselves clearly. But we're also, raised to believe that . It's hard for a lot of people to admit their mistakes because a lot of times we have to be perfect.

Yes. , like we're in competition in school for grades, and when we don't get it right, we feel, feel embarrassed or mm-hmm. Chastised in some way. And so it's really not your fault that it's hard to admit fault, to admit your mistakes, to admit your part in it.

It's how we were taught, how we were raised conditions. That's how, it's how most people are brought up. It's just now that it's, if you think about it, it's like, okay, now it becomes my responsibility to change that. Mm-hmm. Understand that , I have to do better. I have to own my part in this and understand that the ego cannot be driving.

Mm-hmm. If you want a successful relationship, the ego cannot be in the driver's seat. I think another reason why people. Struggle with the 100% responsibility or why it's hard to wrap your brain around is, it just feels unfair at first. Yeah. It's like, but yeah, but, but he is not listening to me. I said the thing, and, I said it a hundred times and he didn't listen.

Not one time I asked for him or her to do this one thing, one simple thing, and it didn't get done. But the thing is, have you created the space where they want to do the thing? Mm-hmm. Or that they heard you say the thing, or that's a thing for us. Yeah. Well, sometimes you don't speak loud enough. I don't get that a lot, to be honest, but sometimes I'll say something and no response.

But you know what? Sometimes someone is in the middle of something. Totally. That's where I'm going. Yeah. Sometimes they're in the middle of a task and they're so focused that they just don't hear you. Yeah. Even though you said it, and they like, yeah, okay. Got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're in the zone flow.

Yeah. They're doing something and so have you, made sure that it was the right environment mm-hmm. For that message to land? Mm-hmm. Because. You just walk by someone and say, Hey, yeah, we've got plans with friends for dinner at six and it's four 30 and you're just hearing about it for the first time.

Now, maybe they called an hour ago or whatever, and you're in the middle of something and then it's five 30 and you come in, you're like, are you ready? And you're like, for what? For what? , I just crushed this project. I'm ready to celebrate. Yeah. Perfect. 'cause we're going out for dinner with friends in half an hour.

Cool. Are you ready? So it's, really about making sure that the time is right. Mm-hmm. And, have you. Gotten your message across in a way that is going to, can be heard. Can be heard. Yeah, exactly. Even though that feels unfair, even though it does feel unfair, I said it, you should, why didn't you hear it?

Yeah. But if I come at you with that, then you get defensive. Yeah. And I don't take any responsibility for trying to give you some piece of information when you weren't ready to receive it. Yeah. It's a two-way street. Yeah, a hundred percent. A hundred percent. I did it again. Okay. Did you see it that time?

Yeah, buddy. I got it. Another one is that the V word? Right. We use it all the time. Vulnerability can be hard. It can be scary for a lot of people. Very uncomfortable for sure. Yeah. And it is vulnerable to admit fault or I don't like the word fault, but admit your own part in something. Mm-hmm. Admit when you could have shown up better, shown up differently.

Differently. Yeah. So it's vulnerable to admit that we talked about the perfectionism. Mm-hmm. And the, desire to always be right and to be seen as the, the best at everything. Mm-hmm. , and it's vulnerable to show your faults and to show your cracks in the foundation and your humanity and all the things, but it really is necessary to get to that point where you're able to show your true.

Mm-hmm. Self. Mm-hmm. Wart and all, and the vulnerability and admit that maybe you didn't show up in the best light in that situation or create a situation where that thing that you wanted to have happen could happen. Mm-hmm. I think there also feels, and I don't know where it comes from necessarily, but I think there also feels like there's a little bit of power in the victim hood.

Like I did what I was supposed to do. You are being unfair to me. Like it's almost like a, a righteous indignation in that I am in the right here. You are not showing up the way I need you. You're not sharing your feelings with me. Mm-hmm. That's on you. And it's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Am I creating the environment?

Mm-hmm. Where you feel safe to show up and share your feelings, is the question. Mm-hmm. But it's easier for me to dig in and feel almost self-righteous and I share my feelings with you. You don't share them with me. That's your fault. Mm-hmm. Why aren't you sharing them with me and, make you feel attacked?

This is a dynamic you see a lot in a lot of male female relationships where the female feels as though the, husband has not. Shared their feelings. Mm-hmm. They have not. , and so there's some of that. Obviously , this goes both ways for sure. A hundred percent responsibility on both parties here, right?

Yep. Like it's not just one person takes 100% responsibility. The way this works is if both people take 100% responsibility, so yes. The man has to look in the mirror and say, have I been showing up for my wife and have I been emotionally present for her? Mm-hmm. Have I been able to share vulnerably share with her what's going on in my life and to let her in and bring her into my life so that we can work through some stuff and, make our relationship a lot better?

And the answer's no, then we have to change some things. Mm-hmm. We hear a lot of the, wife saying, yeah, but I share all the time, and he never shares and it's frustrating and da, da, da. Well, what can we do differently? Mm-hmm. How can we show up differently so that he feels safe?

Because a lot of times as men, we grow up believing that we can't show that weakness. Mm-hmm. We can't show those feelings. We can't show. You're the protector, you're the provider. You are, you're the rock. Yeah. You're not the one that cries. You're the one that the shoulder that gets cried on.

Right. And so it's really about making sure that. We've created the space where they understand that that's not , the way anymore. Mm-hmm. That it's different here. Mm-hmm. This is a safe space. I'm your rock too. Mm-hmm. We're each other's rock. Yeah. Yeah. And to really make sure that that safe space is created and it's not gonna be easy.

Mm-hmm. Because it's so much time. That we've had unlearning growing up. Yeah. That we have to unlearn and rewire our brains. Yeah. And so it, really does take compassion and empathy and patience and grace and grace when we don't always, we're turning a ship here like you on both sides. Like in this example, and it applies to all examples, but in this example mm-hmm.

You are turning the ship on. Getting yourself to the point where you can share vulnerably your feelings with your partner. And as the partner, I'm also turning the ship and creating that safe space for you to do it when I haven't been doing that. So both of us are trying to rewire our brains to create the space where we can both show up 100% for each other and for the relationship.

Yeah. So in other words, old habits die hard. Yeah. And that's one of the reasons why this is, challenging. Yeah. But. , it really is something that if we can, focus on changing those things, really making sure that we're creating that space and as the other person taking 100% responsibility and opening up mm-hmm.

Things change. Mm-hmm. And they change drastically. Transformative. Mm-hmm. Transformative. Yeah. So what are some tips to help people take 100% responsibility?

I think the first one , is when there is a conflict to resist the urge to get emotional and attack and get reflective and look inward and understand your role in that conflict and how you could have shown up differently. To change that Right. Whole outcome because except in an abusive situation, you always play a role.

Mm-hmm. , there's always something you can reflect on mm-hmm. And change and say differently and do differently to change the outcome of a situation. So that's always a thing. So mindfulness, like sitting with it, meditate a little bit. Journal your thoughts, journaling. Super helpful. Writing it out.

Yeah. Just write it out and, understand how could I have shown up differently. Mm-hmm. I think those are helpful tips. Mm-hmm. To, get you to a place where you can reflect on your role in the conflict.

Next one is practicing self-awareness and, just understanding your own triggers, your own feelings, understanding when you feel the, the feeling. No judgment. What is it, why is it coming up? And just understanding your own, awareness. I think triggers is such an important part of this conversation because.

It's such a good example of how we each take a hundred percent responsibility. Like we often tell the story of when I felt triggered on the mountain in Arizona about my fear of abandonment, and so I felt triggered on the mountain. My fear of abandonment was triggered by you skipping dipsy, doodling down the mountain.

And so I have a 100% responsibility to take, responsibility for my trigger. I need to dig in and understand and reflect and figure out why I have this fear and overcome this fear. , I'm a hundred percent responsible to deal with my own trigger. You are also 100% responsible to understand my trigger and do your best not to trigger me.

Mm-hmm. My triggers are not your responsibility, they're mine. But in this relationship, we both have 100% responsibility to figure this out together. A hundred percent. Yeah. It's again, nailing it. So true though. Like your triggers not my responsibility, but what is my responsibility is now that I'm made aware of it mm-hmm.

To not try and trigger it. Mm-hmm. To do my best to understand that that's a trigger for you. Mm-hmm. And because I love you and I don't want to trigger you, I'm going to do my best to avoid doing something that is going to trigger that again. Yeah. And that's taking 100% responsibility. You own your stuff.

Mm-hmm. You let me know about it. Mm-hmm. And you work through it so that it doesn't become a trigger. Yes. , I'm responsible for my self-awareness. But in the meantime, while it still is a trigger for you mm-hmm. It's my responsibility to avoid triggering it. Yeah, exactly. I think another big piece of taking, and it's maybe the most obvious one of them all, strategy tip is apologizing sincerely, and it's the example we always use on every podcast and, everything when we talk about is you hear a lot, well, I apologize first, last time, they need to apologize first this time, or if I apologize.

And then they don't, then they get off scot free. Mm-hmm. And. Whether they apologize or not has 0% to do with you owning your stuff. Mm-hmm. If you've got something to apologize for, just do it. Just do it. They may or may not apologize depending on where they are at in their journey and how self-aware they are, and you know how much work they've done and if they've listened to this episode.

Mm-hmm. And so the point is, if you've got something to apologize for, apologize for it sincerely. Mm-hmm. And then. That behavior gets role modeled and the other person takes their responsibility eventually. And hopefully they apologize too. But whether they do or they don't has zero to do with your apologizing.

. And then another big one is, yeah. One that we like to talk about a lot in coaching is focusing on solutions, not problem. Yeah. A hundred percent. Not blame, not the negative, the, bad. It's focus on how can we just move forward? Mm-hmm. Like, this is your fault.

No, not helpful. Yeah. Okay. We're in this situation, how can we get through it together? Right. Like the Russian cab story, like that episode, I forget what number it is. We'll put it in the show notes. Easily, you could have said, how could you possibly forget your phone in a Russian cab? This is all your fault.

I still ask myself from time to time how that happened and that it was all your fault. If he does that, then the chances of us getting the phone back go down significantly. 'cause we're focusing on the problem. And the other thing too is if we went back and looked like if there was like a, A camera filming us.

Like for the Truman Show? Yeah. If there was a camera filming us. How did I attribute to that? Did I distract you? Mm-hmm. Did we have a conversation where , you were in the middle of something with your phone and I took your attention away and you put the phone down for a second and then it slipped down between the cracks?

Yeah. Like, who knows? That's a good point. What my actual role was in that, even though that's your phone. Mm-hmm. And you're ultimately responsible for your phone, but. If we really thought about it, there's a good chance that I contributed to that situation where you left the phone. Mm-hmm. And so.

I'm not gonna get all high and Mindy and Right. I'll, I'll blamey. I'll blame you about it because, well, I probably contributed, I probably had a hand in it. Yeah, that's a good point. At the end of the day, because like we said before, there's always something. You could say or do differently in a situation?

I could have. I could have, and I have taken this habit on since then is do you have your phone with you? Mm-hmm. I could have said that. Mm-hmm. I didn't. Mm-hmm. And if I had this whole thing would've been dealt with and we would never would've learned this lesson. Right. One of what benefits, I think another strategy is like we talked about choosing to prioritize the relationship over being, right?

Yeah. Like just, Choosing what you ultimately want the most, which is a great relationship and whatever relationship we're talking about versus being right, like at the end of the day is being right worth the relationship. And if, you can't answer. No. Mm-hmm. If, the relationship is not more important than being Right, it's probably the wrong relationship for you, then Yeah.

, , there's some questions. Yeah. Questions, but you need to prioritize your ultimate goal and the relationship over being Right. And your ego a hundred percent. And when you take 100% responsibility, everything changes. Everything feels different. , there's an empowerment that comes with deciding mm-hmm.

That, mm-hmm. I'm not waiting for someone else to deal with this situation. Mm-hmm. I'm taking the bull by the horns. Mm-hmm. I'm taking 100% responsibility and I'm no longer waiting for anyone else to come along. I'm going to be the leader. Mm-hmm. And by doing that, the other person usually comes along. They usually see the, almost always, almost always, well, the dynamic shifts.

There's some exceptions. There's exceptions for sure. But when you shift the dynamic of your relationship by stepping in, taking accountability. Being self-aware, making the changes, being the role model, showing up as the partner that you wanna have. When you change the whole dynamic of your relationship by doing those things, your relationship changes.

And when your relationship changes, the person in the relationship with you also changes. Yeah. You can change the whole thing by just you, there's such an empowerment, just taking control of what you can control and leaving the rest. Yeah. And another big one, how it feels is that, you're growing, you're becoming a better, you, a better version of you.

It pushes you to become the best version of you , and like life, the essence of life is growth. Like we're all as human beings. We all have this innate desire for growth. Mm-hmm. And this is the ultimate growth. When you can look past, put your ego in the passenger seat and look past the situation and, really find where you could have shown up differently.

It really does create this environment where you grow into this bigger, better, badass version of yourself. Totally. And the last one is you get. There's a piece Yeah. That comes with just letting go of blame and resentment and it just gives you this opportunity to focus on what really matters. Mm-hmm.

Like connecting with your person and figuring out what your role is and just adjusting. And as you do that, they see how much you care and love them, that you were, willing to. Look internally. Mm-hmm. And make the changes necessary to create an environment that just feels better for them too.

That eventually the battles stop and there's a peace not only between you, but within you a hundred percent. . And when you do this, there's also benefits. Those are the benefits to you, but there's also some benefits for your partner in that they now feel safer with you. Mm-hmm. you are a safe space.

, you are taking responsibility. They can see that, and now it's like, huh, it's not all on me. It's not all my fault. They're actually acknowledging the part that they played in this. . Now maybe I can look at myself and be like, well, what part did I play? Mm-hmm. You role model the behavior.

Yeah. Because when you finger point, it's a lot harder for the other person to take that on when it's pressed upon them. Mm-hmm. But when you instead take an internal look and see what's going on with you and how you are showing up and how you can show up differently that.

Empowers the other person to do the same, and then the thing that you are probably gonna point the finger and say, you could have done this better. Mm-hmm. They're probably gonna see that for themselves and when they, 'cause you saw it. Yeah. And when they do get there themselves, it's so much more powerful and effective than you pointing it out a hundred percent.

When someone points something out to you, you push back against it. If I tell you something about you, chances are you're gonna dismiss it. When you discover something about yourself. Mm-hmm. It's an aha moment. Yeah. So when you can just, instead of blaming, look in the mirror and model that behavior, the other person does the same thing.

And eventually the aha moment is like, oh yeah, I could have shown up differently too. Mm-hmm. And eventually you're both showing up differently. You give that opportunity. Yeah, it's huge. Yeah. So I would say those are the, biggest big one. Big ones. Yeah. Big ones. So, like I said, this applies in every relationship in your life.
