Hey y’all! I’m filming a new ethics class! This one centers on the Enneagram and how our personality type affects our communication and boundaries. Fingers crossed, it will be out April 11th!

Hand work. After 2 1/2 weeks off, a trip to see all of my extended family in the South, Covid, saying goodbye to my Granny, and attending my sister-in-law’s wedding (hence the gorgeous mehndi), my hands are happy to return to work tomorrow.

I have so many thoughts on this new article. Adding Fibbing to Fight, Flight, Freeze and Fawn - my own personal jury is out on it but I Love the reframe. I remember the relief I got from small fibs as a little kid, and I definitely see that in certain family members, including my little guys! To see it as a way to fit in, buy more time, and not disappoint feels like a subsection of Fawn. And, on this day, January 6th, this article might speak to some of the allies leaders tell us and the lies we tell ourselves in the ‘Don’t look up’ mode. Definitely speaks to accountability. What do you think?

What if your child’s lying is not evidence of a character flaw or disrespect? What if his fibs are actually a self-preservation strategy rooted in poor inhibition, emotional regulation, working memory, and attention — all hallmarks of ADHD?

On playing with the discomfort of polarity and division. These are hard times. Many of us crave harmony, peace, or unity - but that’s particularly hard to find if you’re engaged in the world right now! Sometimes playing with embodying the polarity of opposites can help a third possibility appear - whether it’s a next right step, a new point of view, or a solution. Hey, I did this exercise after seeing a few minutes of FoxNews - and they are pretty polar opposite to me!

Yeah. Not feeling the justice today at the Capitol. For awhile I’ve been living the question - How, when called into integrity or accountability, do we come from humility and dignity instead of fall into shame, blame, or dissociation? (Or maybe even fawn or please/appease?). We all feel this on social media, in relationship, parenting, work. We didn’t see great examples of this in the trial this week, but forward we go . -And back I go into the work of Brene Brown, Deb Dana, Jane Clapp, and so many other greats that play with this question for the next ethics and boundaries class. (And thank you, Cornel West.).

After realizing I’d lost my peace of mind and peripherals to staring at my tiny screen, I took the boys out for a walk to look for Signs Of Spring on Imbolc/Groundhog Day. Delights included checking out tractors, finding daffodil shoots, seeing the sun peak out of the clouds, and orienting to nature with my two little kiddo’s. Good times, happier nervous system.
