Mini-pod: Virtue signaling, villainizing, and other relationship no-nos!!

Remember how back in Captain America: Civil War, Captain America and Iron Man villainized one another after a trauma occurred? 


Their feud created an ensuing civil war of sorts between two well-meaning dear friends, each with a strong opinion...


Maybe it's not altogether unlike the sometimes-war zone in your own home.


When stress shows up, virtue-signaling and villainizing are just so easy and natural for people of differing styles, histories, cultural overlays, and personalities, even people who generally like each other...

 

On this show, I'm going through ways couples of every Enneagram type can villainize one another right here in our mini-episode today, and I hope you'll sit close and pay attention.

I'm adding this mini-pod in for you because I have had this come up both in coaching training and in sessions this past week.


It's just such a human tendency...


Worse, you probably often get well-meaning compassionate social validation by painting others in these broad strokes while you paint your own story with shades of grace.


Living like this isn't healthy for either of you even if short term it brings you relief.


Instead, healthy couples and families tell gracious stories about not just themselves but one another as well!


This new show helps you to truly thrive as you learn just a bit more about that grace.


Take courage. When we do this for one another, we shine so much brighter in the world as a team!
