Ep.4 Make Better Connections: Projection & Transformation with Alex Case

Alex Case joins me for episode #4 of the All You Can Friend podcast

We discuss how to ask for - and get - what you want in connection with others; conscious dance as a practice for attunement to others, fear, projection and connection; the role of analysis, truth, curiosity and intuition in connection; how a single night can unlocked previously unknown levels of self-understanding; the power of literature in self-transformation; methods to cultivate empathy for deeper connection; working to have less projections; the evolution of Alex and Simmo's near-10 year friendship
