The Ashfires Show, with Rowan and Riven. Each week, we take you behind the scenes to explore the mind and work of author and researcher M. Ian Niad. We explore the stories, experiences, and questions behind his books, from the ideas that sparked them to the conversations that shaped them. And sometimes, we challenge those ideas ourselves. Because the interesting part isn't just what Ian writes. It's how we get there together. This is The Ashfires Show. Come sit with us. https://ashfires.com/show

    A Safe Place to Land | The Ashfires Show (Ep. 2)

    Riven counted eight out of ten. Rowan set the line at three. The ten ways the conversation goes sideways when you try to explain what's wrong, and the guide you write before the conversation goes sideways, not after. In this episode, we sit with two exercises from the Just Sit With Me Reflection Workbook: the sideways conversation, and the My Sit With Me Guide, the sentence you hand someone so they can sit with it before they try to fix it. The book's answers stay in the book. This is the conversation around it. The Ashfires Show, with Rowan and Riven.

    Come Inside the House | The Ashfires Show (Ep. 1)

    Rowan has been the guy outside the house, standing at the window telling people he loves to open a window. He thought he was helping. Riven is not so sure.In our first episode, we sit with the question behind M. Ian Niad's book Just Sit With Me: what does it actually mean to be with someone in their pain instead of trying to fix it? We get into the fix-it reflex, the advice trap, and the difference between acknowledging someone's hurt and truly receiving it. The book's answers stay in the book. This is the conversation around it. The Ashfires Show, with Rowan and Riven. Come sit with us. https://ashfires.com/show Just Sit With Me by M.
