High Tide

If you know me, then you’ve learned how much I love the power of conversation. There is a medicine within it that connects us more fully with ourselves and the ones we love.

In this episode @sean._.nolan and I share our relationship journey; hard parts and great parts. In facing our chaos and getting curious about our attachment styles /traumas, we chose to embark on a journey individually and together that allowed us to heal and grow. Our breakdowns were needed to breakthrough and evolve from what was hindering us.

Love is action oriented. It is a choice we make daily in how we show up for ourselves and the ones we love. In choosing to show up and be seen, one risks feeling it all; something that Sean and I denied ourselves far before we met. If we’re open, we can learn to take those emotions and let them serve as an internal compass that helps navigate our path towards our growth. You’ll hear through our story that we are still learning. It’s an evolving process. Our experiences can transform us and provide great value in the lessons. Relationships are a great space for this because we learn about our own inner nature and gain tools along the way.

As we create the space to build the life we dream of, our ego must take a back seat to the true driving force of what makes us come alive. They say love conquers all. I like to believe that love conquers all when we awaken to the responsibility we each have in upholding this truth; one that can be met by putting in the work and becoming more self aware. Through a series of uncomfortable conversation sharing and learning who we are and are not, Sean and I were able to recognize a common ground within each other that is thirsty to experience a powerful loving relationship one could in this lifetime. It’s far from perfect, and we humbly declare that it’s not an easy process. We wouldn’t trade it for anything. We hope through sharing some of our story, you are met and reminded of the love and worthiness that has been here for you to discover all along.

Thank you for tuning in and for showing up.

With love,

J & S

The more I dive into the gift that is conversation and story sharing, the more the space in my heart expands for each of you. In this conversation with Alex D'Amour, I am reminded of a fundamental truth that within each of us is a story worth sharing. I’ve always believed that in doing this, we are given a much needed dose of medicine for the soul and in that space we can find meaningful connection and profound healing. Alex shares with us her journey of birthing the writer in her as well as holding space for other writers too. Her beautiful words are vulnerable and carry deep truths that allows the reader to feel seen and heard. We also explore her motherhood journey and the relationships with ourselves and the ones we love. This conversation is so beautiful and highlights the value that we each have inside ourselves. Perhaps my most favorite thing was being reminded that in a time where so much divisiveness exists, we can still choose kindness and that ultimately we are far more connected than we realize. I hope you enjoy this beautiful conversation.

Have you ever felt your energy shift around a full moon? Have you ever sat and wondered about the ebb and flow of our circadian rhythms and cycles? Does the thought of harnessing the moon or participating in a guided meditation during a full moon or new moon intrigue you? If you answered yes to any of those questions, I invite you to listen to episode 7 of High Tide. I share a beautiful, insightful conversation with Alina Brown; a holistic nutritionist, meditation guide and a YouTuber.

Emma Rose Tait is a writer, soul guide and mindfulness teacher based in the beautiful Kootenay mountains of British Columbia. I came across Emma in my own path of self inquiry.  When I read some of the beautiful words she so eloquently expresses, there's a part of me that can't help but feel held by her in grace, no matter what challenge or stage in life I'm in.   

This episode had me deep in a spectrum of emotions.  Emma and I deep dive into all sorts of spaces that explore how we relate to the ones we love and more importantly, how we relate to ourselves.  Through our conversation, we navigate what struggles can come with going beyond anything in life that can change us and the value in normalizing those struggles. I hope this conversation finds you with much love and grace.   Thank you for listening to this episode.  xo
