Relationship Revelation Ep. 14 | Driven by Dysfunction

from Relationality · host Podotron Network

In today’s episode, we discuss being driven by dysfunction, and why it’s so important to not let your life be determined by this type of thinking. Many people have misleading ideas about the significance of dysfunctional relationships. Like the notion that you need to go through a bad relationship to deserve and appreciate a good one. There are also examples of people who have sabotaged healthy, functional relationships, based on their subconscious understanding of what is normal. That’s why you must address your idea of what normal is. After all, you can’t identify dysfunction until you’ve been exposed to examples of what a functional relationship can look like. Your dysfunctions need to be addressed or else your decisions will be driven by it, so tune in today and learn how to break the cycle of dysfunction! Key Points From This Episode: Some of the abnormalities in the societies we currently live in. Why many people’s dating lives are driven by dysfunction. How to break cycles of dysfunction. Instances where people sabotage a functional relationship based on their idea of normal. Why dysfunction is not normal, it’s abnormal.

The Relational Podcast Efecto Colibrí Because behind every system, movement, and meaningful change… lies a relationship. What if the most transformative tool at our disposal isn’t a strategy, a policy, or new technology—but a conversation? Welcome to The Relational Podcast, a series of authentic dialogues exploring how our connections—human to human, human to planet—shape the way we think, work, and create impact. Each episode is a living experiment in reciprocity and deep listening. Members of the Wasan community step into two powerful roles: interviewer and interviewee. Together, we explore personal stories, deep insights, and practical experiences of how relationality can reshape systems and unlock new possibilities for collective transformation. 🎧 Tune in and discover: Stories of meaningful change from facilitators, researchers, and community builders. Insights into the invisible forces of connection and trust that sustain change. <li Jülide’s Playroom Jülide In this room, we play and set the game together. By placing a non-human subject between my guests and me, I explore relationality and subjectivity through our conversations. Inspired by posthuman philosophy, we work together to trace a Posthuman Cartography of Beings.This is a space to discover how we engage with human and non-human beings, as well as the currents and connections of everyday life. My aim is to create a flow and a leakage within the existing order; thinking, feeling, and playing together through the connections that bind us. complaints & community Maliha (she/her) & Nayeli (they/she/he) Vocalizing critiques is an important part of building healthy, loving communities.
