How do you stay true to yourself without standing against others? Autonomy isn't about going at it alone. It's about refusing to lose yourself while building a life with a partner.

Join Michael and Will as they explore why the strongest relationships are built on two whole people - not two dependent ones.

As a kid, do you remember playing the game concentration? There was the version with the playing cards where you'd have to memorize the number and suit of a card so you can attempt to match it up with its overturned pair.
