Love Letter: Anyone can buy a ring… (7/26/23)

I just celebrated my daughter Madelynne’s first birthday! Holy cow what a year it’s been. 

I know I’ve been mostly private about my postpartum journey but I will say that it has taken this full year for me to feel steady and centered. I am enjoying the ways in which I’ve shifted my work to make space for motherhood, and am so grateful I get to have this experience. 

While things have shifted a little, my purpose is clear – I am so grateful that you are here with me in my community. I wanted to check in with you on how you’re doing, what you’re wanting and to get your feedback. So, if you wouldn’t mind completing a brief survey I created, I would greatly appreciate it! It should take you no more than 2 minutes, max.

Your midweek mantra is, “I am committed to becoming all that I am meant to be, to showing up for me and my desires.”✨

Commitment is not a destination we seek; it’s a way of being. 

There is a difference between wanting a relationship commitment to feel validated and safe and wanting a commitment because you are ready to grow with someone, too. 

Lots of people easily offer rings and weddings but don’t easily offer maturity, empathy, growth, or intention. 

Great relationships are made, not found. 

Great relationships do require effort and intention over and over again. Not just once, and not just on your wedding day. 

In fact, I know couples who are more committed to one another without a ring than some couples who have rings. 

I know couples who are committed to growing together, and it doesn’t mean they go to 100 workshops together or are always working on their relationship. 

It means couples who know when to ask for help, how to be vulnerable, how to be humble, how to prioritize one another, and most of all, individuals who know when they are in their own sh*t and how to take care of it. 

Love is a practice, and I work with individuals who want to cultivate the skills of that practice so they are ready for partnership.

If you find yourself obsessing, analyzing, and wondering about whether or not someone likes you, this episode is for you.
