Welcome to Unhooked with Mia and Allison where we’ll unhook our bras, take a deep cleansing breath, and dive into the topic of transformation. Join us as we explore what it means to expand past the edges of our comfort zones so we can generate more of what we want in our lives.

In today’s episode, we delve into the Adlerian theory (see book “The Courage to be Disliked”) of vertical and horizontal relationships. When we put ourselves above or below someone, that is a vertical relationship. When we honor someone exactly where they are, that’s a horizontal relationship. We should aim to have horizontal relationships regardless of position, experience, title, etc.

We discuss how we can put more attention and intention around the way we are relating to the people in our lives. We distinguish between praise and encouragement, and how one is meant to manipulate while the other is meant to draw out someone’s courage. We leave the podcast with two key takeaways that we hope will inspire the listeners.
