And you don't have to name the pattern to the people who aren't willing to see it, especially in the beginning.
That can lead to more alienation and isolation because many people just... aren't ready.
And you pointing out what they aren't ready to see or engage with may direct their mechanisms of self-protection at you.

No, they might not be able to hear or see you,
but naming the pattern and owning your experience — your feelings, your grief, your desires, and your needs — is the beginning of a new chapter in your story.

Bringing awareness to the dynamic helps you step *out* of the dynamic.
Naming it creates space between you and it.
It's not who you are. It's what you've been experiencing.
This space allows you to begin to be an observer who can make a new choice.
Who can reflect, process, grieve, and start to shift the old way of being.

This isn't about blaming anyone — it's about differentiating.
It's actually stepping into personal responsibility,
it's allowing yourself to begin to mature emotionally by being fully present to your own experiences, and giving yourself the space & support to process what was never or rarely acknowledged or supported in the past.

Your experience matters. And your story matters.
And the more present you are to the patterns, stories, and cycles,
the more agency you have to shift them going forward.

If you're looking for support with this process, the Cycle Breakers 12 month program begins September 2nd. We work on developing self awareness, becoming present to old stories, practicing emotional self management, and learning tools for communication and healthy differentiation in relationships.
Only a few spots left until we're full! 1 spot left in the 4pm.

Honored to host a “Lunch and Learn” with the Carter’s Coffee Leadership Team today. (They gave me permission to share 😉)

In the past couple of months we’ve been working together using Enneagram Coaching tools to strengthen their team dynamic. We’ve done typing sessions, a half day workshop to learn more about the enneagram and now we get to keep learning through the summer via these lunch hour workshops. They are learning about themselves and understanding how each other’s personalities bring enrichment to their team.

Love this group of people and excited to watch them grow personally and professionally! 💛

There isn't a week that goes by that we don't lament with clients that, "blending a family is pretty much the hardest thing humans do." But there is great hope and stories of success and fulfillment everywhere! We commend to you this article by the Gottman Institute regarding parenting styles in blended families.

In blended families there are likely several different parenting styles at play that can cause conflict among adults and children alike.
