1. Emotional intimacy is talked about yet, the mechanisms of how to begin to have it with yourself and others is often skipped.  I discuss my "beginnings" on my journey and my goal to having better intimacy in my life.

I found 4 signs in myself that told me maybe I don't have the best intimacy with myself and then, with others.  Together, these 4 signs illustrated to me that I needed to take a deeper look at it.  

I go through the 4 signs and share a personal story of how setting a boundary and failing helped me jump start my journey into exploring intimacy with myself.  I only discuss emotional intimacy and through the story show how intimacy isn't an "either or" thing when it comes to intimacy with oneself and then another.  

If intimacy and boundaries are so important to healthy relationships, we are not taught how each of them can impact the other.  And if we fail at either then how can we build intimacy through these failings.  

All of this I look into through my hindsight perspective of a situation with a friend at university.  She gave me a nickname and well, I didn't like it.  And it may seem so simple as setting boundary and yet, it told me a lot more about myself and further increased the intimacy I had with myself.

Vyas, you can call me T became most people do.  I’m, as you’ve guessed, a person of colour who looks forward to chatting with you about some things identity, some things colour and ALL things Love!  Tune in Tuesdays for a new episode!  In the meantime, you can find me on Instagram @bareinmind.podcast
