Responsible or Playful? Yes!

The Potential State Podcast ·

2020/06/29

In each Eithor episode, we tackle a different core dichotomy that limits people's growth. Most of us have a core belief that we can either be playful or responsible.

Your wish is NOT my command

The Potential State Podcast ·

2020/05/19

Many of us have a core belief that "your pain=my fault or responsibility". Over time this creates another core beilef that "my partner's wishes are my obligation."

We all want to be free to be ourselves in the world and in our relationships.
