Relationship Advice

Boundaries & What's Right


Listen Later

Explore the tension between personal experience and factual correctness in relationships, particularly in boundary-setting and decision-making. The hosts discuss how relying too heavily on logic and research to "win" arguments can create gridlock and emotional disconnection, emphasizing the importance of curiosity, empathy, and slowing down difficult conversations. They demonstrate how shifting from a debate-style approach to one focused on safety and understanding can lead to more productive and fulfilling discussions between partners.


In the episode, we talk about topics such as:

  • Struggle Between Experience and "Being Right"
  • The Role of Control in Relationship Conflicts
  • The Window of Tolerance + Emotional Safety
  • The Power of Curiosity > Persuasion
  • Need for Repeated, Small Conversations
  • and more!
