I started this Deep Dive last year and continuing the tradition this year.

I love the invitation of the eve of the end of the year to reflect! ✍️🌀

Relationships need nurturing and care to thrive. Here are a few of my fundamentals for maintaining a secure-functioning partnership.

When we start from a foundation of mindful awareness, we have so much more potential to get our needs met and really see each other.

I view mindfulness as a crucial relationship tool to help us slow down, and really strive to understand ourselves and our partner from a compassionate place. 💜

Last weekend I had the privilege of leading a group therapy retreat for people with terminal cancer. It was such an emotional and powerful experience that I'll be unpacking for a long time, and I was able to distill this wisdom from it.

For me, this comes just in time for seeing friends and families over the upcoming holiday season. I hope you get to take something from it too.

We all carry past hurts into our partnerships. By practicing awareness and reflection, we give ourselves the option to engage in a more productive dialogue with ourselves and our partner.

Your feelings are valid and deserve to be attended to, and understanding where it comes from may help your partner depersonalize it in a helpful way so that you guys can be allies in healing the hurt.

We're culturally conditioned to expect partnerships to *always* look like the initial honeymoon phase.

I'm here to remind you: The perfect relationship doesn't exist. We shouldn't expect our partner to meet each and every one of our needs. Healthy conflict is normal and important.

Sometimes the work is to accept, not fix or change, relationship imperfections. 💜

I recently had a bout of insomnia and even though I hate not being able to sleep, I love the quiet time in the middle of the night. I'm familiar enough with these parts of myself to know what I need to do to take care of my insomnia, I need to create that middle of the night quiet during my waking hours. I need to carve out time to be with myself in nature. No kids. No cell service. No nothing. Just me, connecting with myself, my body, and my guides. I can't mother/don't wanna mother without spending time in this space, grounding, reflecting, creating, moving my body, just being present. ✌🏼

Jude says to Dion, "close your eyes and think of love" to help her fall asleep.

When we go to sleep at the end of each day, we separate from our loved ones for a little while. This can be scary for some kids, and some adults.

I love how Jude is using secure attachment principles to soothe Dion to sleep. How he's essentially telling her, "we love you, and we'll see you soon. Even when you don't see me, here I am."
