✨ I used to hurt the very relationship I loved the most — and we didn’t even realize what was happening. 💔🌿 There was a time when connection felt confusing for both of us. Heavy. Unpredictable. Full of moments we didn’t know how to navigate. I didn’t know how to stay calm during conflict. I didn’t know how to listen when my chest was tight and my heart was racing. And she didn’t always know how to express her hurt in a way I could fully receive. We weren’t bad people — we were two unhealed people, carrying old wounds in nervous systems that were doing their best to survive. The result? Arguments escalated fast. Misunderstandings stretched for days. And the distance between us felt like a slow ache that kept repeating. We loved each other deeply… but neither of our bodies fully knew how to feel safe in love yet. And that pain touched everything — us, our family, our home, even our children. But life… life has a way of calling you forward. As I grew older and finally turned toward my own inner healing, something shifted — and as I softened, she softened too. As I regulated, our home regulated. As I learned to stay present, the safety between us slowly rebuilt itself. We began to understand the language underneath all our reactions: 🌿 anger was a fight response 🌿 shutdown was old overwhelm 🌿 defensiveness was the scared child inside 🌿 reactivity was unprocessed pain, not a lack of love And as I learned to speak from truth instead of survival… as we both learned to repair with more gentleness… as our nervous systems found steadier ground… Everything changed. ✨ Communication became calmer. Connection became safer. Our children felt the difference. The atmosphere of our home softened. We felt the difference. It wasn’t perfect — it was human. But it was healing. And that healing became the foundation of the life we live now. 💛 If any part of this feels familiar… I want you to know this: You’re not broken. Your partner isn’t your enemy. And your relationship isn’t failing —

As I've grown, many friendships didn't resonate anymore, some were lost and new ones came along. My standards and what I was willing to accept and put up with completely changed. Some I had to distance myself from, block or walk away from. Others magically unfriended me from projecting their unhealed trauma wounds on me. The universe rearranged my whole life in every way. Health, relationships business, parenting, family, my home and where I live. So many people are stuck in unconscious, immature or toxic patterns and don't want to reflect or change even when it's to their detriment. I appreciate both my old and my new friends. I love my new projects of higher quality I've made (such as my book, video series and community) and it means everything to be a more conscious dad and partner. Walking the less walked path can entail loss or be lonely at times for some, but new buds and relationships grow 🙏 It's been very difficult for me so many times over but in the end has been well worth it.
