A Life Less Ordinary with Sophie Elwes

Adam Wilder - Authentic intimacy, honouring ourselves and why playfulness is sacred.

July 17, 2023 • Sophie Elwes / Adam Wilder • Season 4 • Episode 34

Adam is the founder of Togetherness which is a social enterprise whose purpose is to make meaningful connection more accessible in our culture.

Having been a people pleaser and studied it in depth, Adam has a great understanding of his own behaviour patterns and we unpick what it means and why awareness is key to working through feeling the need to please others and putting their needs before one's own.

We chat about intimacy and vulnerability and how we can show up more authentically in our lives and in our relationships and he shares how the Wheel of Consent can help us discover new ways of relating with other people.

We discuss personal sovereignty, 'touch hunger', silent dating and Adam shares a great story about being playful with absolute strangers on the Tube.
