We look at the costs of avoidance, the importance of setting real boundaries, and the detrimental effects of cancel culture on personal growth and relationships. Key Takeaways: Avoidance is a habit that keeps us stuck. Hard conversations are essential for growth and intimacy. Real boundaries require clarity and courage. Cancel culture promotes disconnection instead of dialogue. Avoidance can lead to emotional numbness and self-abandonment. We must face our discomfort to heal effectively.

I highlight the significance of truth-telling, emotional maturity, and personal accountability in fostering a healthy relationship.

• Relational Bypassing - The Hidden Ways We Bypass Real Healing | Ep #193

  In this episode we'll discuss the concept of relational bypassing, a pattern where individuals avoid emotional pain in relationships, particularly after infidelity. This behavior can hinder intimacy and healing, so there is a real importance of emotional presence and truth in rebuilding the trust. Key Takeaways: Relational bypassing can kill intimacy in relationships. Fixing without hearing leads to disconnection. Emotional shortcutting delays healing. What we resist stays stuck; what we feel can move. Both partners in infidelity need to process their emotions. Avoidance strategies prevent real connection. Emotional presence is crucial for rebuilding trust. Truth must come from a real place for healing. Controlling the narrative can be a form of bypassing. Choosing connection over comfort fosters intimacy.

• What It Means to Be All In | Ep #192

  What does it mean to be "all in" on yourself, especially in the context of healing from infidelity? We'll talk about the importance of self-commitment and internal stability before you can fully engage in relationships. Key Takeaways: Going all in means committing to yourself first. You cannot be all in on a relationship without being all in on yourself. Internal stability is crucial for healthy relationships. Overriding your feelings leads to losing your peace. Being all in does not mean over-functioning for others. Recognizing when you're half in and half out is important. Your healing should not depend on someone else's actions. Building a sustainable foundation takes time and effort. Choosing yourself changes everything in your life. The upcoming virtual retreat will help you create your all-in plan.
