Today's conversation focuses on the complexities of the abandonment wound. Vasumati (Vasu) Hancock has spent 40 years understanding emotions and sexuality, working with individuals and couples. Her passion for clarity and the empowerment that comes through knowing ourselves is palpable. She's a therapist and tantra teacher with a great depth of wisdom.    Vasu defines the types of abandonment and how these wounds play out in our relationships. Within relationships we might see the duality of a dependent or an anti-dependent. How these two approaches translate in meeting our needs. How fear can be a doorway to deepen intimacy. Relationships can be the deep place of healing.   Editing this episode, I realized a truth. Society have abandoned marginalized communities. I include myself here. The lived Black, Indigenous, people of color, and LGBTQI experiences have not been acknowledged and given the needed care. I offer this framing so you can tune into the truth of this additional abandonment. Trevor Noah expanded my awareness in his May 29, 2020 18 min piece. How the contract between society and black Americans is repeatedly broken.

Guillermo ("G") Tilley joins today's episode to offer his perspective on event planning, marketing and digital clutter. He has over 30 years experience supporting people to find their path, developing their marketing plans gracefully and putting on successful events.     The conversation touches on the age old story of who wins the race, the turtle or the hare? G finds taking a methodical, slow - human pace approach exploring the 'why's' helps clarify and bring others along into the plan.    What G offers in his wisdom and expertise is the luscious space to include others and enjoy the process. Identifying where there are fears and addressing them consciously. Especially given the current state of life, quarantining and business 're-booting' the need for clarity might be the exact best next step.    Resources:  Guillermo Tilley - https://www.guillermo-me.io/ Audio - Looking for Adventure by Tim McMorris
