In this second episode in a series of episodes on intimacy, join Empowered Connection Podcast host Daniel Damodar Cordua and learn how to develop deeper intimacy through becoming more emotionally aware of our own selves, developing deeper self understanding, and learning to safely + mutually share that awareness + understanding with our loved ones

The depth of our intimacy with another only goes as deep as the depth of our intimacy with our own self - and the sacred act of safely + securely sharing of that intimacy with our loved ones.  If we don't develop that inner emotional awareness & share it, our close relationships will feel stunted, superficial, and lack depth. 

Furthermore, if we can't access or be with those intimate parts of our own self, we will undoubtedly push away those deeper parts of our loved ones.   Only if we learn to be with our own deeper emotions and share them with our loved ones in ways that are safe, & secure, AND - at the same time - listen to, hold lovingly, & validate our loved ones' deep emotional experience, can our intimacy grow.

Listen to this Empowered Connection podcast episode & bring the needed tools + perspectives to step into a deeper connection with your high stakes relationships.  And do it now - for intimacy not only creates a beautiful appreciation of ourselves and others, but it also functions as the cornerstone to our relationships' health... and our own health - mentally, emotionally, and physically

Themes: Intimacy, Partnership, Relationships, Relationship Problems, Conscious Relationships, Healthy Relationships, Conflict, Deeper Connection, Love, Family, Friendships

In this first episode in a series of episodes on intimacy, join Empowered Connection Podcast host Damodar Cordua and learn how to find intimacy in a very surprising place: the conflict, difference, rupture - and then repair - we have with our loved ones.

Some of us may think intimacy - the rich, connective space of deeply of knowing another - happens when we are not in conflict, when things are easy.  Even though there is a truth to this, there is also another deep truth.  Damodar illuminates that real, vulnerable intimacy actually happens when we can stand in our difference, in our polarity with another, and bridge that difference with healthy reconnection, validation, safety, and revelation.

Listen to this and the future Empowered Connection podcast episode on intimacy and bring more possibility & potential  into your life + relationships.
