Imagine what would your life be like if you had the confidence to navigate difficult situations, and create meaningful, trusting relationships guided by the power of your intuition.

Let’s face it. Most of us never learned the essential relationship and communication skills we need to navigate our complex romantic, family, friendship, and work relationships… and our relationship with ourselves.

Lessons that we didn’t learn as children about how to create and maintain our relationships often cause issues as we come to adulthood, such as:

• How to love and accept ourselves and our “perfect imperfections”
• How to accept others and be kind, knowing we are all wounded
• How to know when and how to trust others, ourselves, and Spirit, Source, God, or Universe
• How to make powerful requests, set boundaries, and manage our emotions
• … and so much more,

Instead of learning these essential relationship skills from those around us, we typically focused on how to create a sense of safety, or how to get love. These “Survival Habits” helped us survive fear such as when our parents were fighting, when we were in trouble, when we were teased or bullied, or felt ashamed and not good enough.

Common “Survival Habits” we have practiced over and over in our daily lives include:

• Pretending we are okay when we aren’t; learning we don’t have the right to tell others our truth or they would be hurt, angry, or reject us
• Avoiding blame and responsibility by blaming others, which leaves us a victim
• Being self-critical or pushing ourselves to be the best, yet still feeling like we are not good enough
• Being nice to others (parents, siblings, friends, and teachers) and sacrificing what we want and need so they like us and won’t leave
• Not knowing what we need, how to ask for it and not getting it, leaving us resentful.
