Learning to validate your partner and giving them what they need in the relationship.

October 19, 2022 Getting through an upset starts with you . It doesn’t matter what the upset is, what it begins with or what it has turned into, it starts with you. Something small and ridiculous will turn into something big when we don’t take a second to check-in with ourselves, taking inventory of where we are at when the upset (or better before the upset) occurs. Being busy in our lives, preoccupied, working, playing, whatever it may be, is not more important than checking

Surrender to the process and to the present moment. Let go of that which does not serve you and trust in that which does.

It's been awhile since I've posted, as I have been enjoying my life in a whole new way. I have been working really hard for the past couple months to improve myself, to be a better person and to be able to show up in a way that I never had been able to before. While doing this inner work, I realize that I haven't slowed down or stopped to appreciate all the progress that I've made and celebrate my accomplishments. Now, Paola is back in my life and our future together looks br

September 30, 2022 In writing the last post ( Crazy Dream ), I thought a lot about why I was a woman in the dream. I am not sure if this is it, but I figured that I would throw it out there anyway. My partner, Paola, is also working on herself. She has identified as a mom for the majority of her life and is working on detaching from that identity to live her life as a strong, driven and inter-dependent woman. She has been going through some tough times in accomplishing this g

September 30, 2022 Last night I dreamt I was an astronaut. It was such a vivid and meaningful dream that I woke up and immediately journaled about it so I wouldn’t forget anything. In the dream I was female (not sure why). After being in space for some time, it was time to come back to Earth. This was going to be a new kind of re-entry, one that no one had ever done before. The ship we took to space was supposed to be left as part of the space station. So, the re-entry was go

September 27, 2022 So much has happened and I have been thinking about how to discuss it all on the blog. On the 16th of September I received a message from my partner. I was terrified to open it. I imagined that all the horrible things that I had imagined were waiting for me to read in that single unopened message. I saw the notification and threw my phone down, my heart began to race, I became extremely anxious and feared what she had to say. After being in the dark for so

September 16, 2022 I just want to put out a quick post about doing your inner-work and the rewards of that work, as well as talk a bit about freedom and choice. I have been solely focused on my journey for around a month now and I feel like a completely different man. The energy that I put off is positive and powerful, my confidence is at an all-time high, I have a sense of self-worth, and self-esteem. Knowing that I have done work to obtain knowledge and skills that I previo

September 16, 2022 Just got back from downtown, had an amazing time by myself. I'm finally drying out, but I'm a bit wired and can't sleep. So I wanted to do a short entry to discuss what I'm experiencing as a result of the last hypnotherapy session because I feel the information is important. As each day passes I see an incredible change in how I am being in the world. I find myself wanting to do one thing, then thinking about how the secure, confident, and self-assured ver

September 16, 2022 It is funny how the mind works. Somedays you wake up ready to tackle the world and other days, your mind tells you that you should just stay in bed and let life happen without you. Since my journey began, I have had many days where I feel like I am never going to get this, feeling as if the mountain is insurmountable. Each day, I get up, set an intention for the day and work to be better than the day before. At first, this was really hard because all I coul

September 14, 2022 Today’s session almost felt like magic. After a rough day yesterday, I entered the session with lots to talk about. As...
