I only recently came across the concept of the ๐๐๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ก๐ค ๐ฅ๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ข๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ฃ โA fascinating psychological process where close relationships, especially romantic partners, help โsculptโ each other into their best selves.โ
One of the origin stories of this phenomenon, is that when Michelangelo sculpted his masterpiece, David, the block of marble had been attempted by many other sculptors. But it was Michelangelo who envisioned the David within and skilfully removed everything that was โ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฑ.โ
This concept can be extended beyond romantic relationships to encompass any meaningful connection. It underscores the profound transformative power of mutual support and shared growth.
What a powerful metaphor for life and relationships, an inspiring aspiration to embrace as we step into 2025.

As a coach, another one of my valuable lessons has been understanding that my role is not to impose but to honour my clientโs agenda with complete openness and without judgment. By creating this space, their true selves can naturally emerge as they uncover who they truly are.
In 2025, I want to continue embracing this principle in every relationship, with clients, colleagues, friends, and loved ones.
