Essence

Calling all peacekeepers, people pleasers, and women who feel deeply. You crave intimacy—the kind that feels safe, grounding, and deeply connected. But somewhere along the way, you learned that in order to keep love, you had to hold back, soften your edges, and become “easy to love.” Maybe you don’t even realize you’re doing it. Maybe you tell yourself, “It’s not worth bringing up” or “I don’t wan...

If you’ve ever hesitated before speaking up in your relationship—overthinking how to phrase it, worrying about how he’ll react, or feeling guilty for even having needs—this episode is for you. We’re unpacking the hidden patterns that keep you stuck in fear of rejection or pushback, and how to start communicating your needs in a way that feels safe, confident, and deeply connecting. Maybe you’ve be...

Could conflict be a missing piece toward a deeper connection within your relationship? In the fourth episode of the Conflict to Connection Series , we answer the question: “Is conflict really as bad as we have been taught it to be?” Through our lives, experiences growing up, and conditioning (think movies, books, the media) to believe that “conflict” is the problem. Conflict is not the problem. Th...

This episode is for you if you recognize yourself having a tough time navigating when your partner is upset. This could be when they are upset in general, stressed out about work or life, or when navigating conflict between the two of you. For example, you were honest about something with them, and now you’re dealing with their emotional reaction… and since you feel like the “reason” they are now...

You know when you want to share something but it doesn’t seem to come out right? You worry that you’ll be misunderstood or judged for what you are sharing. Perhaps, you are so worried about how it might hurt your partner, that you choose to sugarcoat your real feelings. Or you opt for saying nothing at all. Maybe you talk a LOT. But somehow, exactly WHAT you want to say isn’t being communicated or...

Do you tend to downplay your needs or push things aside, thinking “It’s not such a big deal” or “It’s not worth getting into a disagreement about this right now and making it a bigger thing?” Are you not voicing a need or a feeling unless it feels relevant to a bigger issue? Are you taking care of everything for everyone else, ensuring everything remains harmonious and balanced? Your needs matter....

Have you ever noticed that you present a different version of yourself based on the social context? Similarly, do you notice that this also adjusts based on the group? It is natural to adjust ourselves to fit in. It is a primal part of ensuring your survival. However, when we dig a little deeper, there is a thin line between fitting into the social group and actually adjusting who you are. Through...

In part three of the four-part “Holiday Relationship Series,” we are getting into navigating specific situations within your family this holiday season. Whether you have lovely family connections, but sometimes find yourself getting so annoyed by your mom’s need to ask you a million times if you want something else to eat, or you are returning to some more challenging dynamics, this episode will g...

Next week, the winter solstice is upon us, marking the shortest day and the longest night. Although this might not seem like a topic that relates to inner healing and deepening relationship intimacy, it is a potent time. Let me explain. One of the main themes I share here — especially on ESSENCE — is that the more you know and understand yourself, the more connection and intimacy you are able to c...

Welcome to the first episode in a 4 part holiday series on navigating relationship dynamics. Whether you’re spending the holidays with family, your partner, or close friends (or celebrating something different at a completely different time of year), it’s only natural that these situations can bring up a lot. Sometimes going back home can bring up triggers that make you question if all the “healin...

You know that part of yourself that you’ve pushed aside? The part you have been told is “too much” or the part of you that feels “too needy?” The “shadow self” is the hidden or rejected aspect of who you are. These are often parts of yourself that you have learned to adjust or hide as you grew up, to fit in, receive love, or stay safe. In the shadows lie your personal fears, unprocessed trauma, li...

Emotions run DEEP. Especially if you are an empathetic person, you FEEL deeply. You likely also feel other people’s emotions deeply. Because you don’t want to hurt the other person (and in a way also hurt yourself because you will feel that affect as well), you choose to smooth things over, keep the peace, or simply do your best to avoid conflict. The truth is, you WANT to lean into these moments...

Despite doing your best to communicate, you still leave conversations feeling anxious, misunderstood or disconnected. The truth is, that true connection requires more than communication skills. There is a BIG “missing piece” which is also affecting your ability to communicate clearly and effectively. This “BIG PIECE” is what’s happening underneath the surface. So let’s dive into uncovering the ESS...

I don’t know about you, but I love a good story. I always want to understand why something happened, what brought it on, and how it unfolded behind the scenes. If you are like me, this episode will be for you. This is a “pre-release” teaser where I’m pulling back the curtain and giving you a little bit of insight into the process of this pivot. We are now talking about relationship dynamics, heali...
