In this episode of the True Love Knots Podcast, Maria is joined by Ryan Dunlop, and they will be talking about skillsets that you can integrate not just in your professional life, but your personal life as well, and much more!

Standout Quotes:

  • “When we're under pressure, we tend to blow things up and we catastrophize.”
  • “What seems strong on the front end is just hardness and hard things break.”
  • “It takes time to relearn ourselves before we can go on and introduce ourselves confidently into the space of another person.”
  • Key Takeaways:

    It is a common human tendency to amplify challenges and engage in catastrophizing, wherein the perceived magnitude of problems is inflated, potentially leading to heightened stress and a distorted perspective of the actual situation.

    Apparent strength at first glance often disguises itself as mere hardness, and it's essential to recognize that hard things are prone to break.

    Relearning ourselves is a necessary precursor to confidently stepping into the space of another person, a process that demands time and introspection.
