9. Rediscovering Connection with Friends, Children, Parents & Partners, with Erin Miller: Fireside with Shelley Ceridwen Doyle

Rediscovering Connection with Shelley Doyle

In our first fireside, we welcome my friend Erin Miller, a home teacher, into an intimate chat about the power of connection and how the art of communication can transform our relationships and ultimately, our lives.
We explore how bonds with family and friends can challenge us, foster growth, and lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves and each other.
As we navigate through the societal changes brought about by remote work and education, we share how these shifts impact relationships, parenting, and the dynamics of friendships.
We delve into the Canadian education system’s focus on relationships and communication, presenting a unique perspective that serves as food for thought on its influence on parenting.
We also talk about our capacity for holding close friendships.
We wrap up by addressing the challenges we often face in our quest to form genuine connections. The discussion pivots towards the importance of setting boundaries, establishing communication expectations, and maintaining a sense of ownership in relationships. This episode is a deep dive into the world of connection - a journey that could help you rediscover and strengthen your relationships.
