This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone seeking to cultivate healthier relationships. James-Olivia Chu Hillman is on the show this week.

We explore the differences between being witnessed and being perceived. We talk about love beyond its fuzzy feeling and dive into &  examine supremacy culture, perfectionism, objectivity and their implications on our self-connection and relationships with others.

Gain insights into managing disagreements, understand the transformative power of slowing down, asking pivotal questions and the limitations and potential that can shape the outcomes of our conversations. At the heart of their conversation is the profound sentiment that love is both a decision and action, not just emotion.
