For our Valentine's Day episode, we explore and demonstrate how to navigate sticky conversations. Often, when disagree or maybe even judge each other, we tend to disconnect. But there's another way. We can hold space for each other and lean in regardless of our differences, connection is still a possibility.
On this episode of the Desire as Medicine podcast, we (Brenda and Catherine) invite you to be open to connection regardless of your differences. Navigating conversations when there are differences isn't easy but it is possible.
Our candid conversation celebrates the richness found in our own personal differences. Whether it's political, cultural, racial, socioeconomic or other, connection is more often than not still available. We challenge the notion of judgment and instead focus on holding space for one another with compassion as we navigate connection regardless of our differences.
This episode dives into the complexities of connection, emphasizing the importance of holding space for each other’s vulnerabilities and differences. We discuss the power of emotional presence, and how to cultivate deeper intimacy in relationships.
