EP#074: "I Don't Need You to Fix It!" - The Struggle of Holding Space

Episode Summary

One of our favourite things to do as men is fix things. We love a job, a task, a problem - we love to seek out answers and provide help for those around us. And - that isn't what is always needed, which can be really hard to understand sometimes. That's why we wanted to have this conversation - not to "fix" it, but to hold space (see what I did there..) for us to really talk about why it's so damn hard, what may be influencing our desire to fix or solve, why we struggle to make a change towards just holding space, and some tools we have used to help our own individual experiences with friends, family, acquaintances, and intimate relationships.
