Who Are You When Someone Gets Close?

 In this episode, Jewel Diamond Taylor breaks down why marriage, friendships, family, work, and even travel can feel like emotional x-rays. These connections expose the parts of us we celebrate and the parts we avoid. They bring out the loving side, the mean side, the fixer, the overgiver, the saboteur, the wounded child, and the courageous woman we’re becoming. With honesty and humor, Jewel explains why intimacy can feel risky, why isolation feels safer, and why some people choose blame over accountability. This conversation will help you face your internal board of directors with compassion, stop hiding from the mirror, and grow through the relationships that stretch your soul.
