Through the lens of Context, Contrast, and Continuum, I introduce a new mental model—one that honors nuance, invites integration, and transcends the binary habits that shape much of our perception. I like to call it the evolution of yin and yang symbol and it's very useful in everyday life. What do you think of the episode? Let's talk about it!

Hello loves! Sharing some reflections just after my 45th bday...

What are personal boundaries?

Full transparency, I am lovingly challenging myself to share this one. It's super raw and emotional, as I was processing my life in real-time.

The Loving Challenger podcast is a record of my life, and I'm proud of even the tough moments. And, sharing myself as I am, is my medicine.

At the time of recording this I was navigating my first two weeks living on my own, with Marty out of the country for work, cleaning out the old apartment, my kids were sick, and then adjusting to a new school...add on top of that a very protective dog that goes crazy when anyone comes into the house. I hit max capacity of my nervous system.

Please know, I'm totally good...better than good now. No need to check on me. Just witness me in a vulnerable state and let it give you permission to do the same...to be raw and vulnerable with yourself, to let out your emotions and show up as a present partner with yourself. Be a loving witness of yourself in the up and down moments, equally.

At the end I share an invite to participate in sharing circles. I believe that sharing is healing...when done in a safe container. It's my desire to create these container for as many people as possible. If you are interested in participating, please set up a FREE 20 minute call with me and we'll take it from there.

Sending you all love and trusting you are exactly where you are meant to be at this moment in time...and it will change again, as it always does.
