What happens when someone you care about gets difficult to handle? Let's say they raise their voice at you or give you the silent treatment. Whatever triggers you, you get upset because they're behaving in an upsetting way. 

So, how do you deal? What do you do? Our reaction speaks volumes about how we do relationships. 

In this week’s podcast, I answered this question from one of our listeners' posts in The Relationship School Facebook group: 

Can you explain the distinction between being calm and regulated? 

If you want to know the answer to this question and get tips on how to self-regulate, I invite you to listen to my new podcast.

Our modern society presents us with the mythology that answers these philosophical questions like "Who am I?" or "What’s my purpose in life?” But once we answer all those questions through the story of separation, then what is the alternative? What does interbeing mean to you? 

This week, author Charles Eisenstein, joins me in a very interesting discussion on how his journey of personal growth played an important role in his development and influenced his body of work on separation and interbeing. 

Much of Charles' work draws on ideas from Eastern philosophy as he lived in Taiwan for nine years. The main goal of his work is to make you become aware of your own "story of interbeing.” If you’re interested in interdependence and your connection to the world, you’ll want to check the podcast:

Did you know I took my son on a 5-day father’s son wilderness survival trip a few months ago? 

It was so amazing. And, did you also know connecting with nature by just taking a brisk walk at your local park is good for improving your mental health and emotional well-being? Just stepping away from my phone and laptop for 5 days was the kind of digital detox I needed. 

Back when I was lost in my life, nature was always there for me. Nature is a big family value of ours. That’s why I wanted to take my son on this powerful trip. Good nature time, good father-son bonding time. Our guide on the trip was so solid, I wanted to have him on the podcast to share more of why it’s so key to get outside. This guy has a ton of experience and it was so great to jam about nature, connection, and purpose. 

If you’re interested to know how immersing in nature can expand your awareness and find your true calling, you’ll want to check out the podcast. 

Shownotes:

  • 3:50 Introduction Tim Corcoran
  • 6:15 The importance of having a connection with nature
  • 13:20 Connecting with yourself through nature
  • 19:45 Giving back and helping others to create a connection with nature
