Summary

Human relationships are at a crossroads and in this thought-provoking conversation with speaker and author Teal Swan we explore why. Teal unveils how modern dynamics, like the rise of narcissism and the constant influx of social media stimuli, are disrupting our ability to connect with others — and even with ourselves. She dives into the roots of relational dysfunction, tying them to unresolved childhood traumas and societal expectations that stifle authenticity. Offering a fresh perspective on healing, Teal introduces the Completion Process, a method designed to confront suppressed emotions and rebuild connections from a place of true authenticity. If you’re ready to examine the deeper forces shaping your relationships and discover tools for transformative growth, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
