18.0 Relational F*ckery with James-Olivia Chu Hillman

Have you ever engaged in strategies to try and "win" another person over in your relationships at the expense of true intimacy?

If so, you're engaging in what this episode's guest, James-Olivia Chu Hillman calls: Relational Fuckery.

Listen in as James-Olivia and I speak about the ways we participate in losing strategies and relational fuckeries in our relationships with each other and ourselves.

Some of my favorite highlights are:

Asking yourself is there room for you in your relationship and is your relationship sustainable?

What is right relationship, as defined by both James-Olivia and myself.

The importance of regard in our relationships.

How belonging cannot be conditional: We belong because we exist.

And, that the root of all our relationship pain comes down to one thing: contempt.

Resources James-Olivia and I talked about are:

-White Supremacy Culture article by Tema Okun
-Desiree Adaway
-Dr. Jenn McCabe
-James-Olivia's website and Regard program
