Belonging is not simply a luxury. It is a core need that shapes our mental, emotional, and physical health.

It has been a whirlwind for us the past few months, and we are excited to announce that our coaching podcast, Morning Intentions, will already be on its 100th episode this Friday, May 19th! What a journey it has been.

Some of you have asked for more information about our new Morning Intentions podcast, which will begin on January 1, 2023. The most important part of our new podcast is that it will be a resource for everyone who joins us. Our podcast will be a coaching podcast, and you will learn tools as though you are coming in personally for coaching.

To show up as our best selves, we must be able to EXPRESS OUR EXPERIENCE of life with someone else. Being truly seen, heard, and known is essential to happiness. This means that we must be able to honestly express our past hurt, our current pain, our joy, our concern, our frustration, our confusion, our love, and every other experience we encounter in our lives. We must have someone to see, hear, and know us – our true authentic us.

Today is Valentine’s Day – a day that some people thoroughly enjoy and also a day that brings sadness and depression to others. While there may be chocolate, cards, and special dinners, there might also be grief, disappointment, and a sense of deep loneliness.

Our June vlog is up and ready to go. Whether it's coming from a parent, society, or ourselves, we all have our own ideas of what we should and shouldn't do or how life should or shouldn't be. However, some of our shoulds and shouldn'ts can get in the way of us fully expressing ourselves and creating meaningful relationships.

Last Tuesday evening, as the attendees of our Enneagram 1 class were packing up to leave, we had a quick discussion that has stuck with us. Our discussion began with someone commenting that it is sad that when people are unhealthy and behave in ways that do not serve themselves or others, the “good” they have done in their lives is forgotten or diminished.
