This is just so good. I thought I was the only one who had a deep dreaded shame spiraled immediate reaction to feedback. But no, I'm not alone and further more it's biology! Amazing! Thanks for the feedback!
Love this one! If it makes you feel better I never noticed you chewing with your mouth open before...and I would definitely invite you to my dinner party if you lived closer...And if I actually had them! Most importantly, I am eager to know what jokes you two made about this! I can only imagine. Joking together about ourselves is my favorite thing to do with my partner!
Thank you, Jenn! It's affirming to hear this knowing how many meals we have shared together over the years. Making fun of ourselves and our loved ones when we feel safe is the best - not that I ever do that to you, right?!
A) I love the way you processed this and used it to strengthen your relationship, and B) that you decided it needed to become a Substack topic. I walk through life that way and am so happy someone else does - well, especially that it's you!
Isn't it the best to have this outlet to refect on our own life experiences and then share it. And what I am loving is when others share their experiences in return. We are in this together, Linda! xx
Shaun you are a great master of pairing first-hand experience with evidence. Loved this one!
Thank you, Alex! I love pairing storytelling and science/research. I'm finding that there is always a story to tell!

Thank you, Amy! You are definitely not alone. xx

The friendship feedback concept too!! A spinoff or an entire feedback series ❤️
