EPISODE SHOW NOTES
This is a different kind of episode. Often, I record podcast episodes about things that have come up with clients recently or I initiate out of conversations that I feel like we need to have in the culture that we haven't been having. Today's episode is about a topic that is blowing my mind right now, because I didn't think of it this way until I was reading this amazing book, "The Audacity to Be You" by Brad Reedy. In this episode, I want to talk about Reedy’s concept of the “three circles” because I believe that this concept is at the heart of intimacy. And it's also at the root of most conflict, especially between two people.
As you listen to this episode, you'll discover:
Brad Reedy’s “three circles model” and how it ties in with what I am learning about myself
How we get walled off from one another or tangled up in each other's selves
How we can use the three circles model to better know ourselves and our partner
Where to start to create more of a sense of self and healthier intimacy with other people
How this can apply to many of your relationships- whether it’s your spouse, children, or friends
And more.

“The inner work of being an adult is to find those pieces of ourselves that we've disowned, that we thought weren't lovable, that we thought that no one could both see and care about us and to bring those back up.”
- Michele Lisenbury Christensen
