In this episode, James-Olivia—friend to humans who love and lead, a facilitator and enthusiastic advocate of uncomfortable, extraordinary, life-changing conversations, a foundation shaker and root nourisher, and fellow work-in-progress (i.e. avid & grateful maker of mistakes)—aids us in considering new ways of relating to one another. James-Olivia shares their concept of “relational fuckery”—the behaviors we exhibit in relationships that prioritize winning over genuine connection. They highlight the importance of acknowledging and respecting individual differences, desires, and boundaries in relationships. And how this shift requires individuals to focus on enhancing their capacity to embrace differences and cultivate peaceful relationships.
