Ep. 37 - I Wrote Down My Dream Partner… 9 Months Later, I Met My Husband | How to Call in Your Soulmate

<p>Episode 37 — Description</p><p>In October 2014, exhausted by dating and situationships that were going nowhere, I opened my journal and wrote down exactly what I wanted in my future husband.</p><p>Not just what he looked like or what he did — but the <em>essence</em> of him.</p><p>How I wanted to feel around him. Safe. Seen. Comfortable. Accepted. I wanted someone who could embrace my shadows, make me laugh, travel the world with me, work hard, stay open-minded, and build a life that could expand and change with us.</p><p>Then I closed the journal, planted the seed…and forgot about it.</p><p>Nine months later, I met Brian.</p><p>But what happened in between is just as important.</p><p>In this episode of <strong>Late Checkout</strong>, I&#39;m sharing the full story of how I called in my husband — from the toxic relationship patterns and dating experiences that came before him to the manifestation list I wrote in 2014, the dates that followed, the person who seemed perfect but intuitively wasn&#39;t <em>my person</em>, and finally, the first date with Brian that lasted nearly seven hours.</p><p>More importantly, we&#39;re talking about what I think we get wrong about &quot;manifesting&quot; a dream partner.</p><p>This isn&#39;t about creating the perfect checklist, obsessing over when your person will arrive, or becoming some perfectly healed version of yourself before you&#39;re worthy of real love.</p><p>It&#39;s about knowing yourself.</p><p>Knowing your patterns. Knowing your shadows. Recognizing where you self-sabotage. Understanding how you show up in love. Getting clear on the <em>essence</em> of the relationship you want — and then surrendering enough to let life show you the way there.</p><p>Because when you plant a seed, it still needs to be watered.</p><p>And sometimes that watering looks like a bad date. A relationship that doesn&#39;t work. A trigger that shows you something about yourself. Or meeting someone who isn&#39;t your soulmate but teaches you something you&#39;ll carry into the relationship that is meant for you.</p><p>Make yourself the main character in that process.</p><p>Find the lesson. Find the pattern. Ask the why.</p><p>And remember: you don&#39;t have to be perfectly healed before you meet your person. Your soulmate will be a mirror, too. There will be parts of yourself you can only meet, understand, and grow through once you&#39;re actually in that relationship.</p><p>Plant the seed. Get clear on the love you desire. Bring your full, authentic self with you.</p><p>And then trust what unfolds. 🤍</p><p><br></p><p><strong>🔗 Stay in my world:</strong> </p><p>→ <a href="https://laurajanela.myflodesk.com/pourbackintoyou2026"><u>join the next Pour Back Into You 7 Day Challenge in October </u></a></p><p>→ <a href="https://laurajanela.myflodesk.com/pourbackintoyou2026"><u>download your FREE 7 Day Pour Back Into You Guide</u></a></p><p>→<a href="https://laurajanela.com/newsletter/"> <u>⁠free newsletter⁠</u></a> </p><p>→<a href="https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1593448040295131006?check_in=2026-06-17&check_out=2026-06-20&guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=12373904-354a-44e4-aeeb-ad070299cb8b"><u>⁠ Book Casa Oliva in Porto⁠</u></a> 🇵🇹 </p><p>→ Follow<a href="https://www.instagram.com/laurajanela_"> <u>⁠@laurajanela ⁠</u></a>+<a href="https://www.instagram.com/latecheckout._/"> <u>⁠@latecheckout⁠</u></a></p><p>→ <a href="https://stan.store/laurajanela/p/the-travel-clarity-call-"><u>Travel Clarity Call with me⁠</u></a></p><p>→ <a href="https://stan.store/laurajanela/p/the-intentional-travel-blueprint-"><u>Let me Build your Intentional Travel Blueprint</u></a></p><p><br></p>
