The Playground Project

Starting the new year with my own pivot, talking about relationships with the ultimate mystery guest, Gary Pomerantz.

Thank you so much Gary for coming on to the playground and hanging out with me today. I know today’s episode was definitely different, but it kind of encapsulates what it means to pivot.

At the last minute I had to change direction, and Gary was there for me. He has always supported me – even when I was doing something that did not make a lot of sense to him. But today’s interview was just the ultimate example of that kind of support. And by the way, he still has not listened to any of the episodes and it is doubtful he will be listening to this one.

I take a very holistic approach to life and career development, so while we did not talk about careers, we did talk about life. And what it is like to live with someone with a very different personality, and what the five love languages are. And what he did for me by being a guest on my podcast, that was a very thoughtful act of service. And I love that finally, after being together for so many years, we talked about the love languages!

I also appreciate being able to talk about his role in my book and of course, my life. I am so grateful for him to be so open to that idea.

Colour-wise, we are definitely not the same. He is really Green – logical, process-oriented, slow to make decisions and I am very Blue – emotional, intuitive, with a need to live authentically. But, our second colour is Gold so it feels like that is kind of a bonding element.

I also appreciate his advice that he would give couples – get professional help. It’s so true – and I love what he said – don’t up on the process. The first professional you find may not be the right one for your situation, but keep looking. You will find the right one and it will be worth it.

Next week’s episode will be back to the regular format – thank you for letting me pivot a little with this one!
