092: Four Powerful Tools to Cultivate Deep Sisterhood.
I am bringing back a very popular episode from exactly one year ago. I have had so many conversations with women about their own hurt and pain in female friendships. The sense of betrayal, judgement, and abandonment can be felt on a visceral level. Do you ever find yourself reflecting on your friendships as an adult and wondering why it's so hard to find that perfect click? Today I share my own personal stories about the highs and lows of relationships within my community, shedding light on the often unspoken hurdle: society's lack of emphasis on teaching us how to cultivate lasting bonds. We'll peel back the layers of what it means to maintain authenticity and the steps to take for establishing more meaningful, life-giving connections. Through my experiences, I'll show you how to define what you truly need from others and why embodying the qualities of clear communication and safety is pivotal in finding the support we crave across all relationships — be it with friends, family, or colleagues.
Building on the theme of connection, I'll reveal how embracing vulnerability and feedback has reshaped the way I interact with loved ones, especially when it comes to distinguishing between constructive criticism and projected insecurities. You'll hear a heartwarming tale involving my son, emphasizing how trust and validation are the bedrock of any healthy relationship. Consider this your invitation to join me on a journey of intentional relationship-building — where honesty reigns supreme, boundaries are respected, and every interaction is a step towards nurturing an environment rich with openness and support. Let's unlock the door to more enriching and supportive relationships together.

094:Cultivating Resonance by Escaping the Drama Triangle
In today's episode, I introduce Karpman's Drama Triangle, and together we will unravel the roles of Hero, Villain, and Victim that stealthily govern our interactions, often far below the threshold of our awareness. As we dissect these archetypal characters, you'll discover not only the hidden motives propelling your own life's drama but receive the keys to unlock a more awakened, attuned existence.
Shed the shackles of the triangle's corners as we learn how to step out of the drama triangle, and into more empowering roles. This episode isn't just about recognizing detrimental patterns—it's about cultivating robust, self-reflective relationships that serve as the bedrock for a life filled with passion, purpose, and genuine connection. Join me and let's journey together toward a life that's not just reactive, but truly reflective and resonant.
If you are ready to step out of your habituated pattern and into a more empowering role inside your relationships, then I want to invite you to this month's virtual breathwork class. It is taking place next Tuesday, May 28th @ 7:30pm EST from the comfort of your own home. We will use the RESET breath pattern to release any old stories or stagnant emotions so that you can fully step into this powerful new beginning and new role inside of your relationships.
