Mistakes aren’t failures—they’re opportunities to learn, grow, and deepen our understanding. Whether it’s in communication, relationships, or self-awareness, each “mess up” gives us a moment to pause, reflect, and try again with more kindness and clarity.
What if we approached our missteps not with shame, but with curiosity and compassion? That’s where real growth happens.
Keep practicing. Keep growing.

It’s easy to forget in the heat of the moment, but you and your partner are not opponents. You’re teammates — and the goal is connection, not victory.
Try switching from me vs. you to us vs. the problem.
That one mental shift can change everything.

Sometimes therapy is just finding a rock in the sun, a good view, and a little snack.
Not everything needs to be fixed or figured out right now.
Rest, enjoy, and let the moment be enough.🐾✨

Whether you want to deepen connections or boost confidence in social settings, asking questions is a powerful tool. It encourages your nervous system to shift from fear to curiosity, promoting a calmer state of mind. Plus, it’s an excellent way to learn about others, fostering a sense of comfort and safety in social environments.

𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐬:
1) Choose a few questions from our weekly posts
2) Practice with your friends and family (what a great way to learn more about them too!)
3) Experiment going into new social situations and using the questions to start conversations and build your confidence and sense of connection.

What helps you feel more socially comfortable and more connected?

Conflict doesn’t mean something is wrong. It often means something deeper is trying to come forward — a need, a longing, a boundary.
Instead of shutting it down or avoiding it, try asking: “What’s really going on here?”
You might be surprised at the intimacy that lives on the other side.

🗝️ In Level Up Your Relationship, we teach how to move through conflict with curiosity, not fear. You can learn to fight less, and connect more. Details in bio.

We spend so much energy trying to push away the parts of ourselves we don’t like—the painful thoughts, the heavy emotions, the shadowy corners of our inner world.
But what if healing begins with welcoming? With greeting even the hardest feelings with curiosity instead of fear?
The dark thoughts, the shame we carry, the anger or envy we try to hide—Rumi isn’t saying these parts should take over. He’s reminding us they already live within us, and pushing them away only gives them more power in the shadows.
What if we met them with a bit of warmth? With curiosity? With the knowing that they are visitors, not permanent residents? When we invite them in, we create space for understanding, healing, and even peace.
This is the heart of self-compassion—not fixing or avoiding, but allowing.

Ever notice how some dogs pretend to lose the stick, just to keep the game alive? There’s something wise in that. Sometimes, we don’t actually want resolution—we want connection, play, and presence. In therapy (and in life), it’s not always about “solving” things. It’s about staying in the moment, staying in relationship, and letting things unfold in a playful way..

When you’re activated — anxious, overwhelmed, or shut down — communication breaks down. Not because you don’t care, but because your body doesn’t feel safe.
Learning to notice your nervous system and care for it (even mid-argument) is one of the most transformative skills in any relationship.

🌀 Our course includes somatic tools to regulate your body so you can stay grounded — even during hard conversations. Check it out [link in bio].

Most relationships don’t break from one big thing — they erode slowly from feeling unseen or unappreciated.
Tiny, daily acknowledgments can keep love alive. Try this: “Thank you for doing that.” “I love how you…” or even a quiet smile of recognition.
It’s not about flattery — it’s about letting your partner know they matter.

💛 We dive into the science and art of daily connection rituals in our relationship course. Join us and learn to build lasting connection, one small moment at a time.

Sometimes trust means letting go of control so things can happen at their own pace.
It’s not easy—especially when fear wants to micromanage every detail. But real trust asks us to soften, to pause, and to allow life to unfold without forcing it.
Letting go doesn’t mean giving up. It means making space for what’s meant to grow in its own time.

Making connections, playing freely, getting a little muddy in the process—that’s therapy too. It’s not always neat, but it’s worth it. (And yes, sometimes it ends with a bath.)

Creating Conscious Connection

Part of communicating well is learning to understand our own inner landscape - our thoughts, emotions, body sensations and reactions. By increasing this self-awareness, we are more able to engage in conscious connection. This conscious connection allows for more compassionate communication with both ourselves and others.
