The Bird Brain Podcast

It's never about the spilled milk... Sometimes the relationship has spoiled over time. Relationships - of all kind - exist and expire because of one thing: Repetition. How many times has something come up that wasn't repaired? How many bids for connection dismissed? How many important things forgotten. We talk a lot about intention but impact has it's place; And we can discover the true impact of our participation in our connections. I have limited open availability for 1:1 coaching. If there is one thing, or many, there's space to work through it.

Relationships were never meant to be pie charts, but connection and intimacy have significant data points. And noticeable patterns.When the discussion arises about the "give and take" in our interpersonal relationships, there are some things worth keeping an eye on.

Most people get older, but not everyone grows up. And at some point, I think it’s important to recognize that relational negligence isn’t a biological trait assigned by gender as much as it is a societal disposition that can be taught. When it comes to friendship amongst men, stoicism can be saying the quiet part out loud. What do you desire from friendship that you might be afraid to actually ask for or give?

elationships require responsibility and awareness, but are we are of what we are communicating to one another in our connections? What do we expect from others?What do we expect from ourselves?What are we willing to give to others?Self-awareness has some fine print to it.

Sometimes you may feel closer to people than you actually are. It can be disappointing, confusing, and even disheartening. But how do you know the difference?Our interpersonal relationships exist because of the things we consider important: Enjoyment, proximity, love, and desire. But there are other components that are just as necessary if not more. Sometimes your relationships are missing them and while there may be substitutions that fill in the blanks, they don't create as strong of a bond.

https://www.isaiahfrizzelle.com/limit...All relationships require us to show up. But some relationships leave you to do most of the being present for the both of you. But how can you tell?

If I asked you, “Would you be your own friend?” most people would immediately answer “hell yeah!” I’m a great friend! And then proceed to list all the ways they’re dope. Some people would honestly answer “no,” and then the question becomes: “So what do you expect from others that you’d be unequipped to provide in return?”Society is a melting pot of everyone seeking the same thing: Connection. But society is also ran on this idea of how connection is supposed to work.

In today's episode we dissect and unpack the true underbelly of what it takes to actually consider ourselves and other people in relationship.

Eight years ago, The Bird Brain Podcast started with a microphone, something real to say, and no idea where any of it would lead.Eight years later, I’m celebrating with someone who means a hell of a lot to me—my brother.In this anniversary episode, we sit down for an honest conversation about friendship, brotherhood, leadership, authenticity, consideration, becoming yourself, and what it actually means to care for the people in your life.We talk about the things men don’t always get enough space to talk about: how we receive love, how we show it, what consideration looks like outside of romance, the responsibility that comes with knowing yourself, and how relationships change when we’re willing to be honest about where we still need to grow.Because friendship is a relationship.Brotherhood is a relationship.And care shouldn’t only become intentional when romance is involved.This episode is also a celebration of eight years of showing up, creating, learning, evolving, and continuing to take the work seriously long before there was any guarantee of what it would become.WE 8.Eight years of Bird Brain.And we’re still talking something real. 🐦 SHOP THE LIMITED 8-YEAR ANNIVERSARY TEE:https://www.isaiahfrizzelle.com/limited-editionIf this conversation gives you something to think about, drop your takeaway in the comments and send it to someone you value.Subscribe for more conversations about relationships, identity, self-awareness, mental health, friendship, and becoming who you actually are.Still thinking.

Everyone asks: Does this friendship make me feel secure? Far fewer people ask: Have I behaved in ways that make my friend feel secure with me? Have I returned? Have I initiated? Have I kept my word? Have I listened? Have I repaired? Have I remained curious about their life when I didn’t need anything? The security we seek from connections may not always be the places others have felt the most secure in due to actions.
