190. We've come to a decision: Doing a hike for the first time, everything is new. You feel the incline, you notice the trail markers, you are more aware of the sunlight, the distance, the ground under your feet, the unknown of it all. Do that same hike two weeks later, and it feels shorter, you stop noticing the what the trail head looks like, or where the first incline comes in, it feels shorter, more familiar, more predictable.

When you do something again and again, does it become muscle memory, is there still room for uncertainty? fear in the unknown? It might be the same hike, or another embryo transfer, or having a second kid but what gets forgotten in the repetition? what fears are quelled? what new things come up?

Holding two truths can be both difficult and necessary.

Marisol and Adam reckon with dialectical thinking in this episode as they hold space for both not wanting to have their child undergo surgery, and having their child undergo surgery.

Adam explains how the couple often finds themselves in the middle when it comes to medical care (and many other issues). Listen in as the couple discusses holding multiple truths, like "science is real" and "other alternatives may work too" and how these concepts are often met with shame, dismissal, and judgement, instead of a more open and respectful conversation.
