How to be a Human Being in the World with Dr. Kathleen Young

Do you ever feel like everyone around you has it all together? Like life is so much easier for everyone else? Well, it isn’t. We are all just doing the best we can. We all have wins, joy, and happiness, and we all have losses, pain and grief. This is what makes us human. The hard stuff is happening to us all. It is just that most people aren’t talking about it - at least not out loud. Until now. This podcast will explore all the things that people aren’t talking about and showcase the strength, resilience, and humanity in all of us. It will show you how to embrace the messy parts of life and unapologetically be more of who you really are so that you can create a life you love. If you are ready to really start living your best life, this podcast is for you.

The Skill of Developing Closeness in Relationships

March 14, 2024 • Dr. Kathleen Young • Episode 76

Ever found yourself chuckling over a friend's pile of unopened Amazon packages? That's the kind of authentic moment being embraced in today's conversation about deepening friendships. Pull up a chair and join us as we delve into the art of transforming acquaintances into trusted confidants, drawing inspiration from the insights shared by Kat Vellos in her book, 'We Should Get Together'. From Kathleen’s own treasure trove of quirky habits to the shared disarray of everyday life, this episode uncovers how letting our guard down can be the secret ingredient to creating bonds that last.

As she unpacks the essence of connection in friendships, remember: it's not about the pristine living room but the stories that space tells. Kathleen chats about the joys and jitters of inviting friends into our personal worlds, where a sink full of dishes might just be the conversation starter you never knew you needed. She also discusses the significance of simply being present, and how the art of listening can turn shared moments into a mosaic of memories. So, get ready to look beyond the surface and into the heart of what makes friendships thrive.
