If you know me, then you’ve learned how much I love the power of conversation. There is a medicine within it that connects us more fully with ourselves and the ones we love.
In this episode @sean._.nolan and I share our relationship journey; hard parts and great parts. In facing our chaos and getting curious about our attachment styles /traumas, we chose to embark on a journey individually and together that allowed us to heal and grow. Our breakdowns were needed to breakthrough and evolve from what was hindering us.
Love is action oriented. It is a choice we make daily in how we show up for ourselves and the ones we love. In choosing to show up and be seen, one risks feeling it all; something that Sean and I denied ourselves far before we met. If we’re open, we can learn to take those emotions and let them serve as an internal compass that helps navigate our path towards our growth. You’ll hear through our story that we are still learning. It’s an evolving process. Our experiences can transform us and provide great value in the lessons. Relationships are a great space for this because we learn about our own inner nature and gain tools along the way.
As we create the space to build the life we dream of, our ego must take a back seat to the true driving force of what makes us come alive. They say love conquers all. I like to believe that love conquers all when we awaken to the responsibility we each have in upholding this truth; one that can be met by putting in the work and becoming more self aware. Through a series of uncomfortable conversation sharing and learning who we are and are not, Sean and I were able to recognize a common ground within each other that is thirsty to experience a powerful loving relationship one could in this lifetime. It’s far from perfect, and we humbly declare that it’s not an easy process. We wouldn’t trade it for anything. We hope through sharing some of our story, you are met and reminded of the love and worthiness that has been here for you to discover all along.
Thank you for tuning in and for showing up.
With love,
J & S
