Really, is that the way you see me?

What if you were able to open up the blind spots in your relationships? What would be possible? Hi, I am Iris First Relations Coach. For the past 30 years, I passionately pursued the fields of psycho-spirituality, discovering what makes people tick and where they get stuck. I have found that opening-up one’s blind spots and implementing different practices to keep those insights present, gives rise to the most satisfying relationships. I will be sharing with you my favorite tools and practices for creating new and empowering ways of being in your relationships. And of course, all relationships with others begin with the one with yourself. Which is the cornerstone of this podcast. Buddha has said, "When all is understood, all is forgiven," which is the foundation of having healthy and satisfying relationships. And yet, intellectually understanding is not enough; there must also be an understanding from the heart. The root of the word "relationship" is "relate," which means considering an other's point of view. The mastery of this skill can only occur through commitment, willingness, and courage. I am speaking of the kind of courage beyond our automatic unconscious defensiveness; and the willingness to see any given situation from a new and different lens. Being courageous does not mean to be without fear; it is having your angst and taking a leap of faith anyway. Courage is the ability to vulnerable. "Really, is that the way you see me?" focuses on the willingness to put aside our ego's need to be seen in a certain way and consider what the other is saying, without hearing it as criticism and blame; but rather as an opportunity and gift of being profoundly related and connected to them. This podcast and the upcoming book will introduce new ways to see yourself, others, and the world around you. You are not alone in your struggles, just an extraordinary soul in a human experience. "The only way out is through!" Robert Frost I can't wait to embark on this journey with you! Iris
