Description

Overview:

How do we honor both our needs and the needs of those we love? In this inaugural solo episode, I dive into the complexities of balancing care for ourselves while showing up fully in our relationships. Exploring the tension between people-pleasing, self-sacrifice, and genuine love, I unpack the journey of learning to hold space for both. How do we navigate the discomfort of growth, the murkiness of evolving boundaries, and the reality that the answers are always unfolding? Join me as I reflect on what it means to live into this question with integrity, compassion, and deep care.
