In today's episode I'm talking about something I witness at almost every retreat I host — women who have come specifically to be received, and the moment someone offers to get them a glass of water, they say no thank you I can get it myself. 

John O'Donohue writes in Eternal Echoes that our bodies know that they belong — it is our minds that make our lives so homeless. 

Today's episode is about the longing to be truly seen and what it costs us to keep managing ourselves out of the very thing we want most. 

Question to carry into your day:
What are you managing or deflecting right now that, if you let yourself receive it, might finally feel like coming home? Want to chat about working together?
