in this episode Donna & Elden discuss the emergence of relational identity as it is shaped by the nuance of life's experience. we share perspectives on how to better move with & within love in all that we are & all that we do.

some of what we touch on includes:

• on emotions:

  • high & low frequency separated from "good" "bad."
  • emotions as allies for survival.
  • emotions as guiding forces for / toward love.
  • the impact of emotional expression being accepted & rejected

• layers of development

  • "parts" as worked with through Internal Family Systems (IFS)
    • what was done to them?
    • what was modeled for them?
    • what did they "get away with?"

• using mindful awareness + breathing to:

  • clear emotional residue.
  • create space / capacity for emotional sobriety.
  • pause & assess in times of charge.
