Wholehearted Loving

At some point in our lives, most of us learn to say yes when we mean no, and vice versa. In learning not to over- or under-give, we discover how to honour our needs, and how to show up for what moves…

Growing up, we learn “how things are”; getting older, we learn there a million ways other than the ones we know. This holds true for most of our unexamined beliefs about the world — and when we feel …

These days we all know about limiting beliefs: those stories we carry that hold us back, keep us from speaking or acting our purpose, and block our potential and our deepest desires. But which are tr…

We all have pre-conditioned — and optional — reactions when things go wrong, or when plans get changed. The reactions we’ve grown into, either learned from our families of origin or our past experien…

It might feel normal, or like second nature, to shut down, dissociate, and otherwise leave the building when circumstances find us in a place of sensory overload. Those tools can certainly be of serv…

An integrated, whole-self approach to decision-making requires us to notice how our bodies respond to (or generate) a false sense of pressure or urgency — and to grow our capacity to be with those fe…

There are times in life where we must bear burdens that feel heavy — even too heavy — to hold. In the meantime, let us not take on extra pressure that’s optional and unnecessary! This is your invitat…

We all project our past experiences onto the present, and into the future. If no one seemed to listen to you when you were growing up, why would they listen now? So we prepare ourselves to have the s…

The feeling of being burdened or weighed down is a very subjective thing. What feels like a gift to you might be a burden to someone else, and vice versa. In life and love, we bestow gifts/burdens on…

Most of us are prone to bypassing big feelings, including relishing gifts and facing burdens. Sometimes, what’s intended as a gift can be received as a burden — and vice versa. To be fully with ourse…

It can be hard to grow and change when people around us want things to stay the same. Personal growth challenges us to hold space for grief and possibility — releasing who and what no longer serves u…

We’ve all been conditioned to express ourselves in ways that protect us from the fear of losing love and connection — this can disconnect us from our own feelings and needs, and makes it hard to know…

It can be so easy to bypass the joy of relief — we’re all busy, with a lot to do and think about. We seek the feeling of relief, and yet, when it comes, we tend to miss it — in favour of whatever com…

Most of us tend to feel a charge when someone tells us “we need to talk”, and we tend to bring that charge — along with all the assumptions, emotions, and defenses that ensue — into the conversation …

We all have different experiences being present in our bodies, and varying degrees to which being in the body is comfortable or even possible, depending on the circumstances. Learning to shift and ba…

When we’re not feeling well, physically, mentally, or emotionally, knowing what to do and taking any steps can feel challenging. In today's episode, we give you simple questions you can ask yourself …

We all have so much conditioning around attraction — to who and what attracts (and is attracted to) us; to who and what we think we should be attracted to. This manifests in so many ways! Bringing co…

We all have learned responses to anger — our own anger, and other people’s. We also have patterns for how we manage anger when we’re regulated, and when we’re not. Growing our capacities to be with f…
