Naming Pain, Setting Boundaries, and Being Emotionally Healthy

We're back from spring break! This week, we kicked our Top Two off with an honest and messy conversation about naming pain in relationships, choosing when extreme boundaries are needed, determining our responsibility in the pain, and deciding how we can keep showing up to our community's "table" and doing life together in an emotionally healthy way.

Warning: nothing is tied in a neat bow at the end, but we think you might feel a little less alone as you hear us wrestle with some of the more common relationship issues.

Referenced often is Habit Lab's podcast. Here's the episode Joy refers to: "Friendship Files #7: Staying at the Table When You're Hurt."

Also mentioned briefly by Gretchen is naming the core emotions from the Connection Code's emotion wheel. A free link can be found here.

Tune in next week for part two!
