What I’ve learned is that other people are our mirrors – they show us ourselves, including the parts of us we find hard to see. Even our most difficult relationships can become our teachers. Not only our intimate partnerships but also parents, children, friends, employers and employees, clients and colleagues – all can be sources of discovery, growth, and transformation. Amazingly, as we change, so do the relationships and so do the other people.

Courses to Help With Relationships
If you say yes when you’d rather say no or if it’s hard to even know what you really want to say yes to, we can help!
With this free mini-course, you’ll:
- Learn how to tell if your needs are getting pushed aside (which often happens when you say yes but mean no)
- Discover what a healthy boundary looks like and how simple they can be (something you probably didn’t learn growing up)
- Understand what you’re saying yes to when you say no (and why this 180-degree flip in how you perceive your “no” helps you communicate better with the people in your life)
No matter how challenging healthy boundaries might feel today, you can get practical help that brings immediate relief.
