Curiosity and Judgment Can't Coexist

I've realized something through reflection lately: saying you're open-minded and curious is very different from actually living that way. In this episode, I share why I believe genuine curiosity leaves very little room for judgment, and why I've realized it's something I deeply need in a relationship. It's not about always thinking alike. It's about being curious about how each other's minds work and how that curiosity can create a deeper bond. Send me Fan Mail!Email CT: [email protected] on social (Instagram/TikTok): @TheMindfulSPXCheck out the website: TheMindfulSPX.com

After six years together, a listener's relationship ended when her partner went through a major life change, emotionally shut down, and ultimately walked away. More than a year later, she still loves him, misses him, and wonders how she's supposed to move forward without the closure she never received. In this listener question episode, I share my thoughts on grief, letting go, and what happens when the person you want closure from may not be capable of giving it to you. Send me Fan Mail!Email CT: [email protected] on social (Instagram/TikTok): @TheMindfulSPXCheck out the website: TheMindfulSPX.com

It's the perspective she gave me that has stuck with me and helped me see some of my relationship patterns more clearly.Send me Fan Mail!Email CT: [email protected] on social (Instagram/TikTok): @TheMindfulSPXCheck out the website: TheMindfulSPX.com
