Gathering Each Other Up

In my teary reflections this week, their transition has been making me wonder: what am I doing here? What is my legacy? How do I want to show up and how can I love my life and this world even more? What is truly meaningful to me, and am I living in alignment with those values? What distracts me from what matters? What do I want to share and how do I want to offer the kind of healing that changes lives and hearts and creates safety and connection? I believe Andrea would say (more eloquently than I can) that each of us can do this in our own unique way, and that every offering is meaningful and powerful and needed.

Are you a shape shifter in relationships?

Folks with insecure attachment styles have a skill in common that serves them in many capacities. It’s one that can show up in every type of relationship and tricks us into feeling like we are safe—by blending in, by being passive, by not drawing too much attention to ourselves. And it’s a behavior pattern that comes back to bite us SO HARD that once we stop doing it, life can change pretty dramatically and it can take some time to get ourselves back on track and feeling connected again.

Reflections and a Big New Idea

I’ve been anticipating a pivot in my work for (if I’m really honest) YEARS. I’ve been calling in something new and the idea dropped in a few weeks ago. I’ve been feverishly writing and brainstorming and that’s my favorite place to be—creating something new that feels hopeful, exciting, and healing from the jump.
