S1E12 When Friendship Falters

Continuing their discussion of friendship from Episode 11, Sarah and Corinne delve deep into their evolved understanding of how to behave and be when the smooth waters of relationship get choppy. What do you do when you get to a point in a relationship where there's a miss, whether that's a misunderstanding, a miscommunication, or a misalignment? When fracture or disruption happens, both parties are then invited into a decision. Is this something to figure out and navigate and work toward repairing or rebuilding and moving forward? Or is this a type of disruption that signals the completion of the relationship? Sarah and Corinne discuss how they practice navigating disruption in relationships while honoring their new ways of being, but not requiring the abandonment of themselves or regression into old patterns and thought processes. 

Corinne dives into her realization of the collision of that old, ingrained desire to be right (which also meant she was “good”) with the newer, refreshing desire to grow in deep relationship. Sarah, too, is ever-learning to step away from an old way – the one that required her to have the appearance of submission and meekness – so that she can have authentically connected relationships rather than codependency that forces her to abandon her sense of justice.

Together, they explore the concept of forgiveness – both how to extend it, and how to vulnerably place yourself in a position of acknowledging the need for it.
