How to find intimacy in your relationships
What you will learn in this episode:
- How to choose better relationships or boundaries as a starting point on moving from performance to intimacy.
- How to do the inner work - find who you are, shed off old layers, do what you need to do before you end up in a resentful, bitter place.
- Debunking of popular sayings such as, "I'm self made", "I am a strong independent ___", "You have to earn my respect and love", "I am who I am", etc. and how that puts intimacy at arms length.
About Jayme:
Jayme Reyes Brunner was born in South Korea, raised in South Dakota, and has lived down and up the West coast. Now rooted in the Seattle area, she works in higher education along with her husband - Aaron. Expanding on her love for Education, she is Mrs. Washington America United where she lives out her platform Write and Read to Lead by being a tutor with Reading Partners.
Utilizing her College Counseling degree, she is a Life and Career Coach and assists her clients in getting "unstuck" and advising their life transitions. In her findings, after Coaching 500 clients the last 4 years, and thousands of students for the last decade, she has found that our common thread is that we all crave intimacy, and we struggle in modern times to move from performance to intimacy. This propelled the birth of the Podcast - Relationships with Reyes. As she continues to listen and share what we all are figuring out, her life is currently being documented for a Korean Adoptee Film based on how difficult it is as an adoptee to unlearn the surviving mechanism of performance in relationships.
