Summary

Growth is often born from disruption, and in this episode, we explore how ruptures—whether in relationships, routines, or neural pathways—create opportunities for expansion and integration. We examine the physiological parallels of growth, from bone density to neuroplasticity, and dive deep into the critical role of repair in relationships. Drawing on longitudinal studies of shy children and the biblical perspective on stress, we illustrate how intentional engagement and attunement pave the way for personal and communal transformation. Curt and Pepper offer person examples to illustrate how the stress of transition, from toddler tantrums to adolescent resistance, can be a gateway to deeper resilience and connection. . . . . .

0:37.8	And the one thing that I'm holding on to coming out of last week, I think, is just this idea of the beauty and goodness that awaits us after repair.
0:46.8	And I, for one, and I hope you are too, are someone who's going after beauty and goodness.
0:55.0	I mean, it's not going to come to us passively.
0:56.8	I mean, sure, we can sit and passively enjoy it or whatever, but to really be embodying
1:00.6	and living in beauty and goodness, I think you have to go after it, right?
1:06.2	And one of the direct routes to beauty and goodness is going after repair, is looking for places
1:14.2	where we've either caused rupture or rupture has come to us and we need to find a way to
1:20.7	go after this idea of repair.
1:23.3	And today, I'm really excited to be talking about the interpersonal neurobiology around this.
1:28.8	So with that, episode four, here we go.
