    In this episode, Rory Kilmartin, a global thought leader and expert in human relationships, demystifies why relationships can feel so confusing — even with people we love most. Rory has spent over 30 years exploring one of the biggest questions we carry: why we relate to each other the way we do. What started as a childhood curiosity has become a lifelong body of work — bringing clarity to patterns that most of us feel… but can’t quite explain. Rory has worked with people all over the world, and his work helps you see what’s actually going on underneath the surface of your relationships — in a way that’s straightforward, simple, clear, and to the point.   What You'll Learn: What archetypes areThe 4 different archetypes and common identifying traitsWhy some people struggle to make relationships workHow to understand your partner better and strengthen our marriageHow to communicate with the people we loveHow this wisdom can help you raise your beautiful childrenSibling rivalryHow to see yourself better through an archetypal lensWhy we burn out in certain jobsWhy things all come to a head in midlife, andHow this wisdom can help us build better communities and societies.We talk about marriage, partnership, work/career, and raising amazing, well-developed kids.  The archetypal task of life is maturation - evolution - and this episode is your guide to understanding yourself and the people you love in the various stages of life.   So as you listen, you might find pieces of your own story coming into focus.
