Adventure Inward

Karissa and I chat about the things that make up intentional communication, and they're not quite entirely what you think 💬

let's explore whether it's possible to not be ourselves :)

I broke up with my romantic partner yesterday. A good friend broke up with me today. I am doing some big time reflecting on this in real time. These are personal stories, no advice, only processing 🧠🫀

Elena and I chat about boundaries with friends, relationships, and how our relationships with ourselves is the most important part about boundaries.

Karissa and I go all over the place in this convo

My friend Preston asks me about Spec :)

A quick little exercise in presence

Vulnerability is going out of my way to do something scary.

What a whirlwind of a conversation. Elena and a new friend I've made do some deep refecting on our lives.

I met Elena in a coffee shop in December. I was on my way down from Colorado, determined to open my heart again to friendship. I don't know why I chose to go into this particular coffee shop in Flagstaff, I even went back and forth about which one to go to. But I chose itz brought in all my things, bunkered down with an Americano, and wrote in my journal. I noticed Elena right away. Her tattoos, her style, her vibe...she was one of those girls you notice. Then I overheard her talking to a coworker about being a writer, and from there my inner dialogue went into finding a way to strike up conversation. The moment i opened my mouth to chat, we became instant friends.

She and I have had many conversations over the months, but some of them recently have really shifted me. I learn from her every time we talk, and I hope you enjoy learning from her as well.
