What does it actually mean to be good at relationships? You might think it means getting along with everyone, avoiding conflict, or being the person everyone can rely on. But sometimes those things come at the expense of speaking up, expressing what you need, and letting other people experience the real you.
In this episode, I'm exploring the ideas many of us have absorbed about what good relationships are supposed to look like, particularly when we've been socialised to be agreeable, accommodating, and responsible for keeping everyone else happy. Drawing on my own experiences and years of coaching, I'm sharing seven things I believe it means to be good at relationships and the skills that can help you put them into practice.

What thoughts have you repeated so many times that you've stopped questioning whether they're actually true? Some thoughts can sound so reasonable and factual that we barely notice them, yet they can quietly shape how we feel, what we do, and what we believe is possible for us.
Have you ever achieved something you really wanted, only to wonder why it didn't feel as good as you thought it would? We can spend months or even years working towards a goal, expecting that reaching it will change how we feel about ourselves or our lives. Then we get there, the initial excitement fades, and we're left wondering, is that it?
