(How Does It Feel) When You're Loved
(Titled with apologies to Van Hagar) Asking the question while motivated by seeing a large amount of heart signs and being reminded that ultimately, when we release all the mental, social, and other junk, all we want is to love and be loved.

The Fawn
We learned “fight or flight”, then “freeze”. In this episode we explore “fawn”. Fight, Fight Freeze or Fawn.

Holding Space for Anger
There’s plenty of reason to feel anger. Certainly, in this current climate. Anger needs to be seen and heard and is a powerful and important teacher. It needs to do its job. But then it needs to be free to be sent on its way. When it overstays its welcome and hijacks our logic and blocks out our...

Unfriended
I found this old piece this morning and it provides a few important reminders. Even before social media, cancel culture, and this whole mess, we’ve always had people come and go in our lives. Most do, actually. We grow together, and often we grow apart. Very few are “lifetime” connections, and…
