Reading Aloud

In this 10 part series we will have conversations with couples and individuals who continue to navigate the Pandemic either in partnership or without partnership and to dive deeper into how relationships are handling this ongoing pandemic as we enter the second full year. 

Can you be in partnership with your home? How does connection to a physical space and the idea of a home, actually open you up to new partnerships? Can your home lead you to new love? Listen in as Marisol and Adam speak with Bill Nimelman about journey home back home, him finding a physical space, and how creating, working, and living at home during the pandemic actually lead him to his current relationship. Bill touches on dating later in life, and reminds us all that "we all have our own shit!"

Bill Nimelman was born in Niagara Falls, New York and after 25 years of living in Texas, he moved back to NY in 2007.  There he runs a freelance graphic design business and has been seriously painting since 2000, primarily mixed media in acrylics and has shown his work extensively in Dallas and Buffalo. In 2015, he launched an Etsy shop with his sister and loves searching for vintage treasures and finding them a new home.

For the season three finale, a Reading Aloud first! Adam actually "reads aloud" an excerpt from the book "To Raise A Boy" by Emma Brown. The couple deep dives into what it means to raise a boy in todays society. Brown describes the "boy" box as having thick walls, a firmly engrained idea of what it means to be a male and highlights that in today's world girls have thinner walls and many examples of different ways to be a girl or woman. Adam and Marisol discuss their personal experiences with parenting a boy in todays world and how their own internalized patriarchy has shown up in moments. Is it time to let the walls down in the boy box or is it time to continue to push forward on the path to female equality? Can they both be done at the same time? Should they?

In this episode, Reading Aloud also announces that they have launched a Patreon! What is Pateron you ask?

While Marisol was doing a Peloton workout, the instructor was acting goofy, she caught herself, and then decided you know what... "You will never be too much for someone who can't get enough of you." Living your true self can be liberating, it can connect you to your heritage, and it can even be a feminist act. But what happens when being your true self, becomes too much for your partner? Can you be "too much" "too forward" "too direct"? Do those things keep you from tuning into how the other person is feeling in the moment? Marisol and Adam discuss their personalities, ego's, feelings of embarrassment and how they have to recognize when their "true self" is overshadowing the needs of the other person in the relationship. How does our ego keep us from showing up for one another? How does embarrassment separate us from our partners in moments of shame? All is discussed in this very anecdotal episode of Reading Aloud.
