This week I wanted to share some thoughts on taking responsibility for our relationships. When we begin to understand things like our unconscious biases, explore the programs we were raised with, and recognize the BS of what we've been taught relationally — we are presented with a choice. We can choose whether or not we want to do the work, sit with the hard stuff, and become the best version of ourselves. Expansion is readily available to us... will you choose it? ~~~ Discover: Perspectives of ...

Otherwise we’ll always be waiting, because nobody wants the responsibility of our self worth. We model the love we want by the type of love we ...

When you don't stand in the truth of what, you're not going to get what you want - pretty simple right? Whether or not we decide to talk about our truth, it will always still live inside you.

This week I share a personal story from my past where I self abandoned and didn't declare what I really wanted. ...
