In possibly the most vulnerable episode yet, Megan and Leonie share personal experiences as they talk about what they have learnt through their relationships, both in friendship and romance. Some of the main themes are:
- the difference between relating from a nourished, resourced place and a place of lack and “not-enoughness”
- how our beliefs about ourselves shape the way we interact with others
- the value of pattern identification / an awareness of recurring themes in different relationships
- the role of healthy conflict and boundary-setting in creating robust relationships

Non-Violent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshall Rosenberg
@venus.trine.chiron - Megan’s second Instagram page dedicated to creating writing which amplifies the beauty and alchemizes the pain of her romantic experiences.
Megan refers to both “Dharmic” and “Karmic” relationships, which are concepts rooted in Hinduism and Buddhism. Her personal understanding of these terms is the following:
Karmic relationships focus on resolving past wounds or debts, often involving challenges and lessons that need to be learned for spiritual growth.
Dharmic relationships are aligned with one's life purpose or “dharma”, these connections are supportive, positive, and contribute to personal and spiritual development.
Megan is a writer and Human Design guide, while Leonie offers somatic self-worth trainings and shares her writing on Instagram. We are equally committed to our personal growth and creating the lives we desire.
