Here's to character & heart ✨

Diana Rigg never played by the rules. In the 1960s, while starring as Emma Peel in The Avengers, she discovered she was earning less than the cameraman. Outraged, she leaked the story to the press herself. Overnight, she was branded “difficult” and “ungrateful” by studios and columnists. Rigg, however, wore the label like armor. “If fighting for fairness makes me difficult,” she told friends, “then difficult I shall be.” At a time when actresses were expected to stay silent, she turned inequality into a public scandal.

Her defiance was more than headlines. Rigg shaped Emma Peel into one of television’s most iconic heroines. Refusing to be reduced to eye candy in leather catsuits, she trained in judo, choreographed her own fight scenes, and wielded wit sharper than any punch. Fans adored her intelligence and strength, even if she herself loathed being turned into a pin-up. “I’m not a toy,” she once said simply. “I’m an actress.”

That refusal to fade into the background carried through her career. Decades later, on Game of Thrones, surrounded by actors half her age, Rigg stole the show as Olenna Tyrell. With one line — “Tell Cersei. It was me.” — she created a moment of pure television history. Elegant, ruthless, unforgettable.

Yet behind the steel, colleagues spoke of her kindness. She slipped chocolates to crew members, wrote notes to stagehands, and encouraged nervous newcomers. “Don’t apologize for being brilliant,” she once whispered during rehearsal.

Diana Rigg wasn’t just a star. She was a force — rebellious, witty, and unforgettable.

This needs to be said.

There is a massive difference between becoming an artist of love, a deep meditator or a devout ta***ic practitioner and actually doing the courageous and challenging work to face the wounds of your childhood.

Especially the attachment wounds.

It’s estimated that 60 to 80% have some kind of insecure attachment wounding. Or other pathology that keeps them from giving and receiving the love they want and deserve.

It’s actually the deepest pain point most people will ever face.

In my work, I see people come into the relational space all the time wanting to create more connection and safety in their relationships, through polarity, practice or sacred intimacy work.

This is also been a painful lesson for me to absorb in my life.

It doesn’t matter how great a practitioner you become, the Leviathans of your unknown childhood wounds will rise from the deep in your relationship and cause massive pain

And while embodiment and relational practice can be incredibly helpful in gaining access, revealing and helping to clear many of these wounds, it does not replace going in to the underworld of your heart and facing them head on.

And yet I’m always amazed at how people will do almost anything to avoid facing the grief, pain and fearat the root of their attachment wounding.

Polarity, work, embodiment work, and even profound meditation are helpful, but they won’t heal on their own what needs to be faced.

There’s a bit too much love and lighting and bypass in the conscious spirituality communities.

We’ve known this for a long time, but what has become more and more clear to me is that what most people are avoiding is the attachment wounding of their childhood.

There are tremendous modalities to help address this.

Somatic therapy, Narm therapy, the Hoffman Institute, and many other kinds of supportive therapeutic work will help you access and take a clear eyed view of your patterning.

Even certain kinds of ceremonial work are quite helpful.

But the most important thing I have found is a determination to face and change the pain and karma of your lineage.

Without it, you won’t have the grit to truly change your destiny.

Correction is part of parenting. But when a child doesn’t feel connected to you, correction can feel like rejection. When connection is built before correction is ever needed, it makes those harder moments easier to navigate.
That’s why connection needs to happen long before correction ever does.
Build it in the calm, everyday moments:
✔️ Ask to join them in their play—before they even invite you.
✔️ Sit beside them while they color and say, “Tell me about this one.”
✔️ Make eye contact and smile when they walk in the room.
✔️ Share a laugh, a snack, or a story—even for just 5 minutes.
These small choices tell your child: “You matter to me—even when nothing’s wrong.”
Then, when something does go wrong:
✔️ Sit down at their level and say, “I’m here to help you through this.”
✔️ Ask, “Can you tell me what happened?”
✔️ Remind them, “You’re not in trouble. You’re learning. I’ll walk with you through it.”
Because when your child feels secure in your presence, they can handle your correction without feeling rejected.
Connection isn’t a reward for good behavior. It’s the foundation that makes growth possible.
