As each of you are aware by now, we have built our identity upon the backs of our parents. We have created an inner game of blame in order to restrict the level of responsibility that has always been ours, and ours alone. We have formulated ways to project our suppressed emotions in order to manipulate others (most specifically our parents) in an attempt to get what we want. This is also because we tend to approach our lives through the lens of "should" instead of "willingness". I know, for myself, I only started focusing on the mending of my relationship with my parents because of the "should" mentality. So together, we will unravel the "should" versus "willingness" through the completion of our parental patterns. This week I am dropping a few questions in here to reflect upon and answer. I would like for you to copy the questions and respond to this post with the outline of the questions, along with your answers. You have until next Thursday to complete this assignment, however, the sooner you tend to it the easier it becomes! Part 1: THE PHILOSOPHY OF COMPLETION AND WILLINGNESS STEP 1: Reflect on Resonance (Willingness vs. Obligation) The foundation of this work begins with your posture. We can see that doing this work from a place of obligation ("I should," "I need to," "I have to") will only recycle the past and damage you further. Instead, the requirement is simply your willingness. • What does it mean for you to replace your "shoulds" with a "willingness to stand in the possibility of seeing something you don't see today"? • Write a reflection exploring the difference in your body and mind when you approach your parental trauma from "willingness" rather than "obligation." STEP 2: Identify the Source (The Ultimate Mirror) The foundational assertion of this work is this: "Until you complete the relationship with your parents, all your relationships will be about your parents". We act out our incomplete parental dynamics with partners, friends, and in our careers.

Hello loves! I want to let you all know I'll be slowly shifting posts and discussions to this space. I'm still learning the set up but I feel it will give us a bit more structure. I don't think there is an option for voice notes, which is like, a total bummer for me haha! But, I can offer recorded videos for you all instead! So, thank you for being here and I look forward to our shift into this space alongside WhatsApp 🌹 I would love to hear 1 big breakthrough you've had this week! No one dropped in on the last post I requested participation in (aside from @Samantha Olague so thank you beautiful💋) so here is your chance to start setting the stage for how you choose to show up responsibly and intentionally! It will assist you in getting used to using the app and checking it for important messages. Love you!
