Wholehearted Loving

You know you can only take one step at a time. Yet, we expect ourselves to leap and jump and spin - and then we're surprised when we're tired and we flop. Or we give up on a new path that felt so exciting but quickly turned into an overwhelming pressure cooker of our own expectations. In this episode we talk about slowing down - forcing ourselves to slow down! - and the unexpected positive...

We all have limitations and constraints, and they are not a reflection of our love or care. When we recognize this, we learn not to take things so personally. When we recognize this, we learn to discern who can help us in the moment – which friend to call, where to get the support you need. You can absolutely fill your bucket, and there are people who can help you fill it. There are also people wh...

Hard truth: We can’t always be there for each other, or be there in the ways we might like, even if we love each other deeply. When we feel obligated to prove our love, when we feel pressure to perform even when we don’t have capacity, when we show up carrying our own baggage to someone else’s tragedy – we’ve slipped out of alignment and need to ground and centre. And we might need to protect ours...

It’s good to know your love language – but don’t let that limit your access to the love and care that are all around you. How can we practice shifting to really see how someone shows their love for you in simple and profound ways? And how can we communicate our feelings such that – even in difficult conversations – our love can still be felt? In this episode, we share tools that help you recognise...

Love is something we all crave. Yet at the same time, love can feel so scary. It can feel scary to open ourselves to receive love and scary to vulnerably express our love. How can we practice shifting this and stop robbing ourselves of beautiful moments and experiences?  In this episode, we show you how by reminding you to catch and linger in moments of delight, to let compliments sink in and to f...

Oh, how we suck sometimes! And oh, the things we avoid when we think we're going to suck! Today we talk about what we're learning, what we suck at, and the paths we've taken around self-image, self-judgments and connecting self-discovery with joy & delight. In this episode: - judgments & being judged - learning vs sucking - self-image & projections - movement for self-connection & -soothing - perm...

Today we explore an expanded worldview around dating and relationships -- the ways our ideas and behaviours have changed after years of deep shadow work, and the ways our people have changed over the course of their inner work too. If you tend toward jealousy, clinginess, fear, anxiety, co-dependence, controlling, and you're ready (or almost ready) to face it, this episode's for you.   In this epi...

Human Design is a system of personal knowing and discovery which we've found helpful, in the vein of Enneagram, Gene Keys, and astrology. In the language of Human Design, the "Not-Self" is our expression and experience of being out of alignment or unhappy in a given circumstance -- depending on your Design, this will show up for you in different ways. Ways you can predict, and manage! In this vide...

Fear can be all-encompassing, and so powerful -- it shuts us down, it has us do wild things, and most importantly it highlights what we want for our lives and relationships. Today's episode is built around a viewer's question about her fear of having a daughter, resulting from her own experiences as a girl. In this episode: - answering a listener's question - how we project fear onto our kids - fe...

Today's episode is a deep and personal conversation you might resonate with, around the ways we hide in life - from ourselves, from our circumstances, in our relationships. In the ways we relate with the world. Georgianna talks about how she experienced her Chinese heritage as a young person and how she's integrating that today. Steph talks about being a know-it-all and hiding from leadership and...

The energy of a real apology is an important thing. We've all apologized out of shame, fear, urgency of some kind - to save face, to save a relationship, to make ourselves look good. In today's episode we talk about how to pause, how to manage shame, how to come to a place of genuine compassion (for ourselves and the other) before we apologize. We also talk about when we're not ready to apologize...
