Real intimacy with another—whether a friend, a spouse, or even God—requires deep self-knowledge that includes self-love. This article explores how coming to know your own signature stories and their impact can deepen intimacy with yourself.

Welcome back to Sunday Morning Café.  This week, I thought I’d continue with an installment from my video series on resilience.  Thematically, the content will deal with self-knowledge and intimacy with the self as the necessary condition for deeper relationships with anyone else.


Before you click the link to begin this week’s installment of SMC, let me just remind you of next Sunday’s SMC event: Resilience & Creativity, featuring an in-depth interview and concert by Saint Louis’ own Royce Martin.  Through the lens of this creative genius, we will be exploring the role that creativity plays in human flourishing.  Please take a moment to visit the event page here, explore the time and place, and if possible, bring a posse to enjoy food, drinks, socializing, and soul-satisfying music.  Hope to see you there.
