The Art of Relating

In this episode I chat with my best friend Kate who I’ve known since we were 13 years old. We learn from each other by showing up as non-experts to discuss what it means to be self-led in the Age of Aquarius, implementing non-violent communication into our daily lives, how the conflict in Israel and Palestine is affecting us, and what activism means to us personally, away from all of the social media noise. 

Episode Highlights 

15:48 - Each of us are individual puzzle pieces that fit into the whole, and you can be you and I can be me, and we're different, and we don't have to agree, but we could still exist together. 

19:48 - I find myself, when I get triggered and agitated, I start wanting to tell people, this is what you should be doing. This is what you should be doing.  

44:02 - All I wanna do right now is not put more violence into the collective. 

59:29 - One thing that distinguishes humans from all other living beings in this world is our capacity to tell stories about ourselves. And it's both our most defining, beautiful characteristic and it's our most harmful and violent characteristic. Because the stories about ourselves are what give us identity, family, belonging, meaning, culture, food, all of that is stories.

Welcome to the first episode of The Art of Relating. My dear friend Zori and I talk about Authentic Relating and the practice of Circling. She helps me workshop my way through some intense moments of freeze when it comes to communicating while dating consciously.Get ready to ignite your soul and discover a new level of connection. 

Episode Highlights 

03:17 - For the first time in my life, I'm finally taking a step back and consciously dating and assessing my options with several people with more context of understanding attachment styles, with more awareness to look for what's suited for me rather than seeing “who will like me. 

06:55 - Listening to how other people navigate dating allows me to try it out and see if it works for me. Without this context, I get stuck in a freeze state of not knowing what to do. 

13:26 - It’s easy to still operate from the place of holding back for fear of triggering my abandonment wound. However, learning tools for authentic relating helps me filter out the relationships that don’t work for me. 

35:00 - This work is about shifting the narrative from not being good enough or worthy of love into having the ability to choose whose right for me.

Welcome to the Art of Relating podcast, where I’m figuring out life, asking questions, becoming present with the unknown, and navigating the Mystery with my dear friends.  

We explore the healing journey through my favorite topics like the nervous system, trauma, somatics, spirituality, psychology, and authentic relating. 

My mission is to empower you to discover what works best for you by tapping into the innate wisdom of your body. 

These conversations are one of my greatest resources, and I hope they can be a catalyst for you on your journey as well.
