Change. We have talked on it from a number of angles, but this time around, let's go into the changes you actually want to make in your relationships. Maybe it is an old pattern in communication, a tendency to shut down, a habit of trying to "fix"...whatever it is, this is something you actually want to be different moving forward. What does that process look like? Because yes, it is a process, and can be quite a long one. E reflects on the process of change when it comes to her relationship with anger and how that has taken years, and is still ongoing. Sometimes "letting go" is something you will be doing for quite some time. What is a change you are actively working on or want to be working on in your relationships? Send us a textSending you so much love!Love our show?

We go over different examples and how you can tell when something is not complete, as well as how to be in that uncomfortable space in a partnership where you feel complete about something but they don't. It's tough work, but meaningful, as always. Send us a textSending you so much love!Love our show?
