109. Balancing positive and negative perspectives in a relationship

Marisol and Adam share that they are currently on lockdown after Neo, their son, tested positive for covid-19. Marisol explains how her birthday plans were effected by the families current health situation and how she is trying to balance finding the positive in the situation (family time, back in the bubble, reconnection) with her negative feelings (disappointment, fear, missing out on extended family and community time). The couple then has a contentious discussion around the balance of reactions and the ability to have your own authentic reaction without overshadowing the space your partner needs to experience their own feelings around a situation.

About the Podcast

Reading Aloud
Welcome to the Reading Aloud Podcast, a place where the creative, emotional and hilarious aspects of relationship communication are explored in real-time, by a real Married couple. Marisol and Adam are a married couple living in Asheville, North Carolina. Outside of the Podcast, Marisol is an entrepreneur, who owns SolReflection, a therapeutic image consulting firm (she's a style therapist) and Adam works for Dogwood Alliance, a environmental non-profit organization. After dating, marriage, and lots of travel, the couple went on a long fertility journey. That journey lead them to IVF, a tremulous pregnancy, post partum depression and an amazing life altering miracle kid, Neo (all while recording the ups & downs). These days Marisol and Adam are raising a toddler, navigating the surrogate process to add to their family, and starting the egg retrieval/IVF process again after a miscarriage. Tune in as the couple provides you insight into how they communicate, navigate and thrive through married life, parenting, being an adult, and living in the world today.
