We Are ”Too Emotional!” | Robbie Williford

How do we own our stories? And how do we tell them in a way that is true to our experience and helps people to better understand us? 

What does it mean to be "intentional"? What does it mean to do things that matter "on purpose"? What is the difference?

Why do we edit out the best parts of ourselves to accommodate other people? How do we let go of controlling what other people think?

How can we help to cultivate imagination and push boundaries so that we can live in a world where everyone can thrive?

In this very first conversation episode, Abbie and Robbie discuss the importance of having a "rich inner world," how we can learn to spend time there, and how it can help heal us. Robbie shares what he has learned about grief, shame, regret, and empathy. Abbie asks Robbie about his own experience with the "too" label. Robbie describes his relationship to and understanding of masculinity, plus his hope for others who identify as men. Finally, Robbie shares the stories that matter, the stories he wants to hear more of, and what a better social world looks like to him.
