We have the potential to grow and heal in relationships. We have spent much of the two years in isolation or in a different routine than we are used to. We have been having a national conversation around race, gender, sexual orientation and how to heal from these harms. If we have been juggling multiple roles we may need additional support.
​
Here are some truths that guide my work:

• We are racial beings. Gender and sexual orientation is fluid and lives on a continuum in different seasons of our life. We have challenge fatphobia, disrupt ableism and see neurodiversity. We have to take care of our mental health.
• Life is a series of connections, disconnections, and reconnections.
• Our beings are drawn to connection.
• We are tribal people.
• So much of we do is about being seen, valued, accepted and/or loved or avoiding relying on others
• Shame cannot live in the light when we share with trusted people.
• Our social engagement system which kicks in when our nervous system is regulated helps us to bond with others
• It is possible to develop "power with" others rather than "power over" relationships
