3. When It's Hard to See Possibility

In this episode, we discuss another agreement in our marriage that has had a profound impact on our partnership: commitment to always finding possibility. We dive into what it means to see possibility, examples of how we’ve navigated this agreement together, and ways to start exploring new solutions. 

Our early experiences often define our limitations and what we see as possible for our lives. We have a much harder time seeing our blinspots on our own or when we don’t have a commitment with another person to get out of that victim mindset. We illustrate what getting stuck in a loop of limited beliefs does for a relationship and describe what happens when you start to play with possibility. 

We touch on some methodologies and techniques that we like to use when we feel like we’re in a rut, including psychedelic therapy. By creating new grooves and pathways in the brain, different possibilities become much more accessible. We wrap up our conversation by explaining how this commitment can play out in other relationships, particularly with friends and coworkers.
