There was a moment when someone looked at me and said, "Let me love you."
Five words that cracked something open in me.
I realized I'd spent so much of my life giving, but not always allowing myself to receive — to truly let love in.
In this solo episode of Collective Guidance, I share the sacred dance between giving and receiving — how both are acts of love, both are divine, and both are needed for our wholeness.
For years, I thought giving endlessly was noble. But I've learned that when we deny ourselves the beauty of receiving, we cut off half of life's flow. Giving and receiving are not opposites; they are the same breath — one inhale, one exhale — the rhythm of the soul.
These are the truths and practices that continue to guide me home:
Why receiving isn't selfish — it's sacred
How giving from depletion disconnects us from love
The energetic truth behind "inhale and exhale" balance
Simple daily ways to practice receiving with grace
How to create a "receiving ritual" that expands abundance and joy
