040: Navigating Relationships

We talk about conflicting nutrition advice, confirmation bias, Jedi mind tricks as a parenting technique, our visceral aversion to blaming and shaming, consequentialism in parenting, older/younger sibling dynamics, being triggered by criticism and corrections, back seat driving, thinking out loud versus in your head, chemistry in relationships, psychopathology versus polygraph tests, the persistence of history, and MAGA Jesus. Mentioned in this episode Brené Brown’s work regarding vulnerability and shame, and in particular a story she tells in her Netflix special, The Call to Courage, about a time she and her husband both experienced shame, for very different reasons, during a swim on a lake.
