When to Follow Your Heart (and When to Let It Go) #43

This week I'm sitting with a question I can't shake: when do you follow your heart, and when do you let it go? Between a Sunday morning walk, a hard therapy session, and a week spent noticing I found myself circling the same idea over and over. The conflict that can exist between what our heart desires and what family, religion, or expectation ask of us instead. As a lover myself I talk about why we can't stop telling ourselves tragic love stories and what it means to take my own self-care as seriously as I ask my clients to.

Key Themes:

  • The pull between following your heart and honoring expectation, family, or fear

  • Why we're drawn to tragic love stories

  • Taking therapy and self-care seriously as the foundation for doing meaningful work

  • Making space for the small things you love before the season slips by

  • What it really means to live fully  vulnerability, rawness, honesty, and courage and the ruthlessness of your heart

Work With Me:

My coaching practice is a space to look more closely at your own life, relationships, identity, health, sexuality, and the things you’re working through. My approach is integrative and deeply personal to you, with the goal of helping you understand yourself more clearly and create a life that feels aligned with who you are.
