My guidance for a life well-lived.

Ambivalence is an awful feeling
Have you ever felt stuck? Uncertain? Confused? Conflicted? It doesn’t feel good does it?
3 keys for lasting love
Without all 3 of these keys, the relationship at some point will wither.
Be blissed out!
You decide the way you’re being. How you are is determined by you. Your experience of life is determined by you, within you, not outside of you.
What helpful support looks like
Do you have one person in your life who can listen to your pain?
Your partner is not your therapist!
When Esther Perel says, “today we look to our partner to give us what a whole village used to provide,” I wholeheartedly agreed. And I thought I’d never do that. Until I did.
How do you show effort?
The #1 predictor of happiness is the quality of your relationships.
What are you addicted to?

Do you know your core wound?
Are you aware of your core wound? In short, it’s an emotional injury that stems from the past. It's all about “am I enough.” Even though I’m flawed, will you still love me? And even though you were loved as a child, you may not have been loved in the way you needed it. This applies to everyone.
Triggers, attachment and authenticity
Have you ever thought, why am I still dealing with this same (argument, person, situation, addiction)?
How's your relationship to your emotions?
“When we disconnect from our emotions we dysregulate our nervous system to do so.” Alex Howard.

Ever wonder when something will happen? Or why something happened? Me too. Stay the course.
