Relationships are hard. We are all human and have complex thoughts and feelings. We all have our own subjective lived experiences and making connections with others isn’t something that happens automatically. It is something we learn to do from an early age, and this development can be impacted by intergenerational patterns and sometimes trauma that teaches us unhealthy relationship habits.

The more we know about ourselves, and the people we are in relationship with, the more we hold space for each other’s authenticity, the more we encourage accountability and grace, the stronger boundaries we have and the more we are willing to change, the better our relationships will be.
