3 - The Brick Wall: Assuming Radical Responsibility in Relationships
Manage episode 452050085 series 3614933
In this episode of The Knowing Podcast, Christene Marie sits down with Shadi Absi, a successful entrepreneur and photographer, for a heartfelt and honest conversation about personal growth and the challenges of navigating relationships.
Shadi discusses the tension between accepting limitations and having a relentless drive to keep improving. In his deeply insightful way, he dives into the idea of satisfaction, posing the possibility that his constant pursuit of perfection might be getting in the way of enjoying the present moment.
One of the most powerful moments you’ll experience in this episode is when Christene Marie uses the metaphor of a "brick wall" to describe the emotional barriers we build over time, shaped by childhood experiences and old wounds.
This conversation is a nudge to take a closer look at your own emotional baggage and start working toward the healing you’ve been putting off.
