About this episode

Adriana MeBarr discusses the challenges of allowing change in relationships and how to create space for transformation.

In this episode I talk about why it can feel so difficult to allow change in our relationships — both in how we see others and how we see ourselves. I share how predictability creates safety but also locks us into old versions of people, including ourselves. I explore how to create inner space for new versions to emerge and how to choose supportive people around us when we’re in the middle of a transformation.
