What if your most uncomfortable arguments were actually invitations to breathe, to notice, and to choose love without losing your boundaries? That’s the lens Annemarie Chereso brings to a life chapter that could have broken anyone: divorcing while eight months pregnant, navigating a colicky newborn, and parenting through a nervous system on edge. The turning point comes in a small but seismic moment — a kitchen tantrum over a sliced apple — and a single question that shifts everything: “Where am I?”
We unpack how that question redirects attention from fixing others to witnessing our own state: one of contraction in fear or openness in trust. Anne‑Marie explains why awareness is the first move, breath is the fastest regulator, and language is the lever that either closes hearts or opens them. She challenges the quiet myths we live by, such as “there’s no point” and “just let it go,” and shows how those stories fuel resentment. Instead, we explore welcoming our messy parts, practicing early micro repairs, and speaking clear requests without weaponizing righteousness. From social‑media clashes to everyday partner friction, you’ll hear how to step out of reactivity, own your part, and create a connection that lasts.
Along the way, we dig into forgiveness as a gift to yourself, not a free pass for harm, and how “love includes everything” is more than a pretty quote; it’s a daily practice of integrating shame, blame, and fear with curiosity and care. If you’re ready to turn conflict into a teacher, reclaim your voice, and build relationships that can hold the truth, this conversation offers tools you can use today: breathe, ask “Where am I?,” regulate, and return to repair.
