- Different forms of pride can prevent sharing expertise.
We don't change because someone else is right; we change when we feel heard, loved, and safe.
In this episode of Relational Recovery, hosts West Thompson and Austin Hill dive into the importance of having a willingness to be taught. They explore how curiosity and the desire to grow can be hindered by pride and ego. The conversation highlights how people often listen to respond rather than to learn, and how this attitude prevents meaningful change and growth. They discuss the negative impact of being a 'know-it-all' and how it creates unhealthy relationships.
Instead, they advocate for reciprocal relationships where both parties learn from each other. The hosts also touch on the different forms of pride, including the less obvious type where someone avoids sharing their expertise out of fear of impacting others negatively. This episode is a great reminder that asking questions and being open to learning are key components of personal growth and recovery.
If you're looking to cultivate a mindset of curiosity and improve your relationships, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical advice.
