What to do in a moment of crisis? Turn towards each other. And breathe. This week’s September podcast is about a very wild situation @sangodarewallace and I found ourselves in and how we made it through!

And yet, my soul knew t…" When I met @sangodarewallace I was TERRIFIED to open my heart to love again after what I had been through. And yet, my soul knew that love was my path to healing. We designed our eight week cohort TRUST FALL as a supportive space for LOVEBIRDS who are seeking divine partnership grounded in a deepened compassion for yourself. A sweet flock of lovebirds has already signed up. We start in less than a week on Oct 19th! And as soon as you sign up you can access our past Lovebirds videos to get in the spirit! And if you want to add direct coaching with us, you can! Link is in the bio. I love you (I learned how by loving me!)

How do you learn to trust yourself again when you secretly blame yourself for every heartbreak?
