E39: Valentines Special: How to NOT BE the Toxic One

Relationships are the cornerstone of the human experience.

Whether positive or negative, they can alter how we live our lives, view the world, and even view ourselves.

If living authentically is vital for our own flourishing, how do we set the standard for authentic relationships in our personal and professional lives?

It starts off with being self-aware.

Without awareness, we can never be aware and in-tune with the needs of others.

In this captivating episode, we will dive into:

- Human beings were meant to be in relationships, but we are not taught how to do them well

- Most relationships are built off of bad habits

- We are ill-equipped to manage conflict in our relationships

• If you can't take care of yourself, you'll look to others to fulfill your needs
• Great relationships require humility and proper expectations
• How Adrian's childhood taught him how to 'survive' and read rooms well
• How our upbringing can alter our level of emotional intelligence
• How the modern dating landscape is challenging and in some cases, damaging
• The price of having really good friends and relationships
• Family means you have to sacrifice, suffer, and head into a direction with who you say you live
• How to navigate the nuance of authentic relationships

After participating in this discussion with us, we hope you'll have a greater awareness of how to navigate relationships with authenticity.
