Knowing how to tend to your wounds, and be led by your soul’s desires is one hell of a potent and magnetic combination.

Setting the precedent is so much easier to do when you’re single or newly dating someone. You get to decide what your standards are and put them into action from the very start. You get to show someone what is and isn’t in alignment for you. And, you get to set boundaries and the parameters for being in a relationship with you.

What could have been a moment of intimate connection and sharing, now becomes an UNLOADING - usually filled with hurtful words, tears, and lots of anger.

Rather than trying to avoid it altogether, we need to learn to go to that fear like we would a child and ask, what do you need to feel less scared – how can I support you?

I’ve never resonated with the notion that the Universe is testing me. Like it’s conspiring to see what I’m really ready for. I believe the Universe (which I am a part of, so I am it and it is me), is simply giving me feedback.

A man pulling away in the early days of your connection is pretty common and yes, it’s very uncomfortable for you. The masculine energy desires freedom, and when he starts to fear that he’s losing it, he’s likely to pull back a little while. That being said, ghosting you all together is never an acceptable approach

I find that keeping space between myself and my vision leaves space for the Universe to come and play, to add pieces, remove some and surprise and delight me along the way.

With all the wishing about what our partners could do, we miss so much of what they are already doing. And so much of who they already are.

If giving is a more masculine energy, and receiving is a feminine one - taking feels quite masculine, too. It implies an action, a reaching out, a grasping, an almost desperate act.

The way you feel in your mind, heart and body is emitted so powerfully from your being, that in your presence, he will feel how you feel.

Women are in their truest power, for themselves and really for the world, when they are in the position of receiving.

Your power as a woman is not in what you do. It’s in who you be.

Girlfriend behaviour needs to be saved for the season in your relationship when you feel confident and safe enough to have the conversation about where your relationship is going – and, when you’re actually his girlfriend.

What’s most important at the end of the day is that you know your boundaries, and why they’re important to you. Then, you stick to them and adjust if need be.

Whether you’re newly dating or in a relationship, there’s one challenge that most of us experience at one point or another: learning to express love that will resonate with someone we care about.

If the last year has taught us anything, it’s that our inner children need our attention and consolation; they are the feeling the impatience.

I know it’s exciting to get swept away and swept off your feet. But you, my love, are a wise woman and it’s time you fully step into her.

As you explore your inner world and that of your inner child, remember she holds more than your tears and fears; she holds your strengths, gifts and wisdom, too.

I know how tempting it can be to lose yourself on the first couple of dates, especially when you feel equally into each other and the chemistry is brimming.
