Ep35: 🌕♊️ Repairing Relational Rupture w/ Kevin

Last year, Kristyn recorded a podcast  with her partner/co-parent Kevin titled “Discord Mode.” This conversation is effectively a part 2 of that conversation, and a public offering of repair after a public rupture event.

 

How can cis/het white women compassionately offer grace (the same grace Black women have given us) to our men in order to invite them into liberation while also not tolerating abusive fragility?  How can pivoting a relational framework from “husband” to “friend” create spaciousness for secure attachment to (finally) flourish?  Why does patriarchy have to be such a fucking sinister villain?

 

If you like Reality TV- especially fraught emotional predicaments based on historical abandonment wounds and attachment patterns, you may really enjoy this “Reality Podcast.”  

 

Please tend to your nervous system and listen with caution, while moving/tasking, and/or taking many breaks, or even consider skipping this episode altogether.  Be kind and compassionate to yourself.
