Description

What does it mean to share vulnerably without oversharing? In this solo episode, I explore the tender discernment between fear-based withholding and wise self-protection. After scrapping a previous recording, I sit down in real time to reflect on what it means to live the questions when some of them still feel too raw to name aloud. With gentle honesty, I unpack the difference between boundaries that isolate and boundaries that support, the nervous system cues that guide our discernment, and the invitation to remain open while also honoring what is still forming within. If you’ve ever struggled with when (and/or how) to share something tender, this one’s for you.
