Today's episode is in conversation with Jordan Gray, a relationship coach who's helped us and millions of others step up in our lives and shine for all the world to see. We talk about the body nudges that led us to connect with each other, and Jordan shares his journey from head-based shoulds kind of thinking, to feeling his way into a life more fulfilling than all his shoulds could ever have imagined.

In the first chunk of life, we learn how to get by based on worldviews and patterns of people around us — and we come to assume their ways are our ways too. But often, they aren’t, and we need to find our own path. By now, you might know what you truly value, and still find that old conditioning is manifesting different values in your patterns of feeling, connection, and behaviour. This is where body connection and compassionate self-inquiry can help you find your way.

Trying to force a fit is a natural response to our human need for love and connection — it’s also an integral part of learning what fits. As we hone our self-awareness over time and discover our preferences, it’s worthwhile to feel into what’s fitting well in our lives and relationships, and what could fit better.

In today's episode we use Georgianna's experience with a broken snowboarding boot and her search for new ones as an analogy for relationship, and we talk about how to source your body to find what feels like a fit and what doesn't.

The new year is a common time to resolve to be different, or do different things — hoping it will stick, with much room for disappointment. This year we invite you to ditch the shoulds and the fear-based promises, and instead explore how you can create more of the feelings you want in your life and relationships.

In today's episode we go over some compassionate methods for making (or not making) change and choosing where you want to focus your time and energy.

The holidays (and any special occasions dedicated to loved ones) are prime times to gather data — about ourselves, our needs, and our preferences — through sensory experience. Today we talk about exploring your body’s responses before, during, and after the holidays — and how this gives you all the info you need to get closer to how you want to feel in life and love.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed with shoulds, needs, wants and want-to-wants. It’s easy too, to respond with action overdrive, or total shutdown. Learning to be with your body in these times is invaluable — body reminds you how you want to feel in life and love, and provides direction on the next doable step to get there. In today's episode we offer some perspective about busyness, and moving toward goals with self-compassion.

Longing can be a source of depression or excitement — it can inspire or debilitate, depending on your story (i.e. your past, your present, and how you experience sensations in your body). With practice, you can find tremendous energy your longings, and harness it in helpful ways.

In today's episode, we talk about our old feelings about longing — informed heavily by unrequited love and not being chosen — and the new, nicer-feeling feelings we've grown into with simple practice.
