91. Ego and Embarrassment

While Marisol was doing a Peloton workout, the instructor was acting goofy, she caught herself, and then decided you know what... "You will never be too much for someone who can't get enough of you." Living your true self can be liberating, it can connect you to your heritage, and it can even be a feminist act. But what happens when being your true self, becomes too much for your partner? Can you be "too much" "too forward" "too direct"? Do those things keep you from tuning into how the other person is feeling in the moment? Marisol and Adam discuss their personalities, ego's, feelings of embarrassment and how they have to recognize when their "true self" is overshadowing the needs of the other person in the relationship. How does our ego keep us from showing up for one another? How does embarrassment separate us from our partners in moments of shame? All is discussed in this very anecdotal episode of Reading Aloud.

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.
