#305: Do family gatherings leave you feeling like you're competing in the emotional outsourcing Olympics? You walk in with the best intentions, but within minutes, your nervous system is doing backflips.

We'll cover everything from setting limits with love to managing political conversations without wanting to scream into a pillow afterwards.

#292: Most people think that if they’ve been living at one extreme of always saying yes, they need to swing to the other extreme of always saying no and become wildly independent. But that’s no way to be in a loving, caring relationship. The magic lies somewhere in the middle, and it starts by making the choice to no longer self-abandon, which takes a whole lot of self-love.
Join me this week to learn my roadmap for breaking free from the self-abandonment cycle and embracing a life of greater interdependence. You’ll hear how to use somatics and thought work to manage difficult emotions, the importance of setting boundaries, and concrete tools for interrupting this cycle so you can reclaim your authentic sense of self.
