Post-grad humaning: nuance, duality and real intimacy in a polarised world.We live in a world that cancels fast. Disagree with me and you’re out. Block. Unfollow. Goodbye nuance. Goodbye learning. Goodbye intimacy. In this episode I open up about what I call the “post-grad level of humaning”: advanced relationality.I share how my own path - from early Buddhist training to sitting with the Taliban and former ISIS members - forced me to hold duality where I most wanted to hate. It was my first taste of advanced relationality: staying present with dissonance, respecting someone’s humanity even when you despise their choices.Inside you’ll hear:🚫 Why cancel culture feels safe but keeps us small, lonely and unchallenged🚫 A story from my Buddhist teacher that cracked my rage open and showed me basic goodness in people I thought were only evil🚫 How that teaching helped me sit across from Taliban and former ISIS members without losing myself🚫 What “orienting” means when perspectives vary and how it can transform your relationships🚫 Practical ways to tolerate rupture and disagreement without self-abandonment or bypassing🚫 How to start practising advanced relationality with the people who trigger you most, including your partnerThis is for the women (and men!) who are beyond beginner work. The ones ready to get wider, hold more of life, and meet difference without collapse or control.If you’re ready to practise this with me, DM me on Instagram or join my new group program this fall. Let’s anchor this level of humaning together.Want more? ⚡ Get your free Wide Woman Workbook⚡ Dive into the Getting Wider Telegram Program⚡ Sign up for my Wide Woman Love LettersAnd if this episode moved something in you: share it with a woman who is ready to get wider too.This is how we build the Wide Woman Collective.
