Project Relationship You

When we're in the heat of big emotions, it's hard to communicate with others and solve problems. This episode will teach you how to give yourself empathy first so you can communicate effectively with others.

These things affect your body in tangible ways, and you can train your brain to produce one more than the other.

Balancing the work it takes to create and maintain relationships, establishing and upholding your boundaries, and retaining your autonomy can be difficult. Here are some tools to help you with that.

This guided meditation is designed to help you get comfortable with your emotions and create a sense of safety in your nervous system around any and all emotions. Dr. Kathryn Kloos invented Somatic Dialogue, and I am so grateful to have learned it from her. Enjoy!

Action is the key!

Nothing new is comfortable, so when you practice being with discomfort, it will be easier to try new things in your relationship to make it better.

A goal or dream without a plan is only a fantasy of a better future. Your priorities show up in our calendar and bank account, and the things that really matter to you deserve your time and money.

When you have your own back, no matter what, you can take more risks and try new things, and this improves your life greatly!

I mentioned the inventory of feelings and needs from Nonviolent Communication. You can find those here.

When you can soften your mind with curiosity, your creativity has room to flow, and you will find or create a way to solve whatever problem is presenting itself.

I mentioned the Triune Brain Theory by Paul MacLean.
