What If You Didn't Have To Make Yourself Smaller? | Amber Howard

What happens when being the person with the most capacity means you become the person who carries everything?

In this first conversation from The Capacity Lab™, I sit down with Amber to explore capacity, responsibility, reciprocity, conscious creation, and the assumptions we make about what other people can — and cannot — hold.

We talk about the difference between having the capacity to carry something and actually choosing to carry it; what happens when caring for others prevents them from showing us their own capacity; and why creating more reciprocal relationships may require us to stop deciding what other people can handle.

Our conversation moves through curiosity versus judgment, the capacity to receive care, learning to do less, consciously creating our relationships, and the surprising amount of courage it can take to put something down.

Because expanding your capacity isn't always about becoming able to carry more.

Sometimes it's about finally having the capacity to ask:

Is this actually mine to carry?
