Dearest Blubirds, There's something significantly healing about a person who is genuinely embodied in what they teach. I first saw this incredible human on Instagram and quite honestly knew he was the perfect guest to join us for this miniseries. It’s a cozy setup!! Lily and I are curled together on the teddy bear chairs across from Ryan, as we talk about the mother and father wounds we so often unconsciously carry into our adult relationships. Ryan speaks into what it truly means to embody the integrated masculine, sharing wisdom we can each carry into all kinds of relational dynamics. We explore the importance of grieving what we never received in childhood, and how our intimate partnerships can become the greatest mirrors for the parts of ourselves that are still asking for our attention. Through the archetypes of the Emperor, Empress, and Hermit, we explore this initiatory path so beautifully mirrored in the journey of the tarot: what it means to put our eyes inward, take responsibility for our emotional landscape, and begin creating more healing in the world than harm. I feel this conversation is such an important reminder that the relationship we have with ourselves ultimately shapes the way we show up for the people we love. Please share with us what you learn from this podcast. We would truly love to hear your thoughts and experiences.
