In this episode I love how life provided aligned personal and professional stories to share with you so as to best answer your wonderful questions and support your intimate relationships in thriving :-) -Your first question was: How can I communicate my need for reassurance to my partner without seeming needy or dependent? -I discussed the difference between need and needy. I explored how discovering the source of our communications changes everything because we can be connecting from emptiness or wholeness, manipulation or invitation, attachment to the results or allowance of all. -Your second question was: Can you suggest ways to manage my anxiety about love and rejection that allow me to enjoy a deeper connection with my partner? -I shared one fundamental truth that you can't be rejected if you won't reject self. Now being rejected might sting a bit, but it's only truly debilitating and devastating when we've already rejected our own soul. Similarly, we can't feel anxious about the outside if on the inside we feel home, safe and solid. The more we can connect with every aspect of our self, the more we can connect with our partner and make them feel safe seen and understood in all of their Humanity. -Your third question was: How can I rebuild trust in myself and my worthiness of love, especially if I've been hurt in past relationships? -I shared about the profound breakthroughs in self-worth that occur in my various coaching programs and especially during the PSI immersions. The psychedelic somatic protocol is extraordinary in learning to trust the body as it reveals held traumas and emotions that have been attracting the same pattern of abusers or sabotaging your best efforts to trust yourself.  -I spoke of where I believe trust truly resides and the best way to cultivate a more solid sense of self and worth. I don't think there's anything more terrifying than being on the planet and not being able to trust yourself. Life becomes so scary, every decision terrifying, questioning our worth, blaming ourselves and spinning in our head at 3:00 a.m. unable to get back to sleep.  -And the opposite is true as well... my experience is that when I trust myself I'm also trusting divine will, I can let go of attachment and be more present, I can be more courageous and speak my truth, I can trust that when things go sideways there still is a gift here and not to give up on myself or life. It's catapulted my resilience. I'm more grateful for the tiny things, the simple things... and its made me more connected with people and the moment. The path is becoming your own beloved, indeed you are the one you have been seeking, you're really not so bad! Xox Maybe we've got some wounds to integrate and some feelings to feel, but you're pretty freaking amazing :-) It's about time you agree, wouldn't you say? It's not boasting, it's that alluring confidence that people want to be around, that 'it' factor. -If that level of self-expression, freedom to be who you are, living with your heart open, deeply connecting with a beloved, feeling home in your body, able to trust yourself and living unabashed is your next step in your evolutionary Journey when it comes to intimacy and relationships, I would love to connect!
