Can We Talk: Intentions, Friendships, and Positivity

Today’s episode centered on building positivity and manifesting the life you envision. Christopher Cooper, also known as Coop, reflected on his college years, where he made a deliberate effort to form meaningful friendships, discover who he was, and shift his mindset toward creating as many positive experiences as possible. We also explored how that mindset continues to shape the way he shows up in his family life, romantic relationships, and career.   ♬ ♬ Artist: tubebackr & Filo Starquez Track: Breezy @tubebackr [https://soundcloud.com/tubebackr] www.tubebackrmusic.com [https://gate.sc/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tubebackrmusic.com&token=428f24-1-1770835173800]

Can We Talk: Conflict

Back in November we sat down with Michaela for an open and heartfelt conversation about the challenges that often show up in relationships. We talked through challenges in conflict like avoidance, gender roles, hyper-independence, intellectualizing emotions, and stoicism — and how they can quietly shape the way we show up for ourselves and for one another. With her experience in supporting couples in therapy, she shared concrete tips on ways to navigate conflict. https://www.michaelachoylmft.com/ ♬ ♬ Artist: tubebackr & Filo Starquez Track: Breezy @tubebackr www.tubebackrmusic.com
