As I sat across from Topaz Adizes, the mind behind "The Skin Deep", our conversation went into the heart of human connections and break the traditional confines of intimacy. We all crave depth in our relationships, be it with family, friends, or partners, but how often do we step back to consider the trust and respect that serve as the bedrock for these bonds? From asking meaningful questions that ignite a spark of understanding to navigating true vulnerability, this episode will help you fortify your relationships in ways you never thought possible.
