In this conversation, Quinn joins Amalia’s weekly talk show, One Foot on the Roof. It wasn’t evident during the exchange that this conversation would be a Lab Partners episode or that it would be shared at all, so the vibe is cozy, intimate, and even more behind the scenes than usual.

Enjoy this generous access to two friends digging into some potent exploration of:

• The quantum effect of observation: exploring how recording a conversation shifts the field and the desire to blur the line between relaxed intimacy and public sharing
• The value of sharing from and witnessing in the emotional low, the mess, the weeds, the not knowing
• How caveats can function as pre-emptive defenses against being misunderstood, dismissed, or corrected
• The spiral staircase of emotional processing - Is it possible to forget the ground we’ve covered?
• Challenging anti-venting narratives: Venting as connection and release
• Possibilities in what we can offer and what we can receive in inviting each other into our emotional processes and stories
• The false binary of emotions verses consciousness
