Send us a textOur brain wants to label things that are new or different as "unsafe" and things that are familiar as "safe" but this doesn't always support us in creating connections with those that we love. Today we are talking about how to embrace differences through compassionate curiosity. As we seek to understand others and their operating systems, we are better able to know how to relate to them. These differences might be in the form of marital status, political affiliation or sexual orientation. Lean into the discomfort of not fully understanding another's experience. You just might learn something!

Send us a textThis is part 2 in how to create balance in relationship. Today we are talking about fitting in vs belonging as well as believing people when they tell us who they are. When we approach relationship through the lens of belonging we are more likely to show up authentically and find those who really resonate. When someone tells you they aren't available, believe them. Notice if you have a story coming up and then choose your story on purpose. So often we choose into the story that makes us feel miserable. (They don't like me. They could hang out if they really WANTED to.) But these stories do not change our circumstances. They just make us feel bad about our circumstances. Notice the stories you're creating and choose the story that feels most supportive to you.
