It’s time to explore an intentional, heart-breakingly “brutiful”, and hella brave way of BEING in the relationships that matter most to us. It’s time to ditch a lot of what we’ve learned so that we can radically humanize the way we give and receive love.

Bottom line: When it comes to our collective training on relationship + emotions, the dominant culture is very emotionally avoidant and/or codependent. Most of us have our own emotional go-to response - we either diminish, dismiss, and try to avoid high intensity emotions OR we rush in and try and save the day. Either way, intense emotions tend to scare the bejeezus out of many folks because we’re not taught how to be with emotions, to be with others when they’re in their messy feels, or to honor the deep feelings that arise within us when we’re in the presence of someone else’s fear or pain. . . BUT there IS a way to be WITH them, to LOVE differently (more bravely) and to truly HOLD EMPOWERING SPACE for those we love so that THEY feel empowered to be more fully human.

THIS. IS. BIG. . . And oh so very healing for ALL involved!!

It’s time to reclaim our ability to love, be loved AND be fully human.
