Read The Room is a conversation of a show where Cavanaugh James explores the intricacies, nuances, and dynamics of relationship with others. By chatting with his actual friends and others he respects crossing vocational lines, some you’ll know, his aim is to showcase qualities and characteristics that lead to healthy relationships…
Well I asked for questions and you delivered!
The whole reason I started this show and wrote Read The Room was to be able to have these conversations. In your real life, in the actual dynamics you find yourselves in, that’s where I want to meet you. I want to help you navigate the difficult and confusing.
So today we’re digging in. We’re dealing with nuanced situations like, “What do you do when your spouse has a family who continually lies to and gaslights them ... how can you help?” I’ve got some thoughts on that for sure. Then we go another direction, “What do you do when you’re a mature adult dating again and have a child who wants nothing to do with a new love interest?” Yep, I’m ready to tackle that too.
I’m so grateful to have Natalie Martin (licensed marriage and family therapist) on with me today to help me tackle these questions and an awful lot more. If you have a question you’d like for us to answer, please just email me at CavComments@gmail.com (mailto:CavComments@gmail.com) or send me a direct message on Instagram. I hope something in this meets you where you are. I have a hope and feeling it will!

Dr. Andy Yarborough: Out of Overwhelm
I’m joined today by one of the smartest people I have the pleasure of knowing. Dr. Andy Yarborough is a licensed clinical psychologist as well as personal coach to many— me included. And yes, you’re seeing that correctly. Today, I’m having on a friend who has genuinely helped me understand my own overwhelm, as well as my ability to step out of it.
We’re having a real, no holds barred conversation about what it means to genuinely integrate the entirety of who you are and to show up authentically in the world. If you’re not already listening to his podcast, My Well Lab with Dr. Andy Yarborough, you’re sincerely missing out. This man is a resource of health and I’m so pleased to introduce you to him.

Furhan Ahmad: Let's Be Neighbors Again
Today, we have the distinct honor to hear from someone whose purpose in life has been defined and shaped by serving others. Furhan Ahmad was born and raised in NYC, became an EMT right out of high school to then become a police officer, and finally a first-responder firefighter, where he continues to serve the city and kaleidoscope of people to this day. His character encourages me and his story flat-out inspires me.
The way he kindly, lovingly, and boldly chooses to meet a city full of complicated people, even the ones who've hurled insults and paraded their racism in his face, challenges me. I'm so excited for you to hear his story, for you to know what he loves about a varied environment, and the beauty that can develop in a person. This man is wise and well over his 10,000 hours in the area of service and meeting others. Let's all learn a thing or two from him, shall we?
