Episode 15: Growing Deep Healthy Relationships
Manage episode 297388895 series 2950809
In this conversation, Jacob and Scott dive into the complexities of relationships, and the need in sustainable relationships — whether romantic, platonic or familial — for honest communication and a desire to grow together. The friends draw on their own experiences in past relationships to highlight the healthy and unhealthy ways they’ve shown up with others, and with themselves. They discuss the importance of speaking the things that continue to be left unsaid, and trusting that by doing so, you move a relationship forward, even when forward doesn’t look like you’d expect. Above all, the friends invite us to consider the relationships to which we give our most energy and whether or not that energy is well served.

“The only reason we don't open our hearts and minds to other people is that they trigger confusion in us that we don't feel brave enough or sane enough to deal with. To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves, we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else's eyes. ”
