In this episode, Ben shares his most vulnerable moments and mistakes in love, from the trail of wreckage behind him, to the beautiful sky that awaits ahead. The conversion runs deep, acknowledging the dark and light of intimacy in all relationships.
Figs asks a couple of key questions that are worth exploring in your own relationship:
- Is there an image or place that captures love for you?
- Do you have a sense of your go-to judgements in relationship?
Ben answers with an honesty and authenticity that all listeners can relate to and encourages everyone to share by admitting that expressing vulnerability inspires.
Reminder from Figs: No one said it would be easy to be someone primary attachment figure. So have some empathy for yourself.
