Do You Want To Leave?

Episode 145,   Jul 12, 2020, 01:24 PM

Somewhere along the line, many of us learn that voicing our needs directly - asking people for what we want - is to invite ridicule, shame or otherwise ask to be hurt. Our learning to undo that - to find out what we really long for, and to give voice to it - is a necessary, difficult and life-giving path to taking up our full size and place in the world. And it's also absolutely necessary for a life of dignified, mutual relationships with others. A conversation about discovering and speaking our truest longings to others - with Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.
